    (2022-11-25) GÜNAY YAZICI, CANAN; ÖZEN BERKOL, TUĞÇE; ÖZGÜL, BAHAR; KURU ÇOLAK, TUĞBA; SARI, ZÜBEYİR; Günay Yazıcı C., Özen Berkol T., Özgül B., Kuru Çolak T., Sarı Z.
    Purpose: It is important to assess the integrity of the balance system to predict individual balance and coordination abilities. MarBES is a device consisting of 9 led scales and 4 pressure sensor systems developed to evaluate and improve balance and coordination as a TÜBİTAK 3001 project. Weight data is estimated from pressure sensors located in 4 different corners and a score is calculated with computer software for the individual\"s center of gravity (Centre of pressure X, Y) and the amount of deviation from the center for each axis.. The aim of this study is to examine the test-retest reliability of the MarBES device. Methods: Double-leg and single-leg (eyes open-closed) tests were applied to healthy young adult participants for balance testing on the MarBES device. Weight transfer to the target surface was measured for assessment of the participants coordination performance. Participants rested for 10 minutes and all measurements were repeated by the same evaluator. The obtained data were recorded and the reliability of the measurements was evaluated with Pearson correlation analysis. Results: A total of 33 healthy young individuals (24 F; 9 M) with a mean age of 21±0.96 years were included in the study. In the correlation analysis, there was a strong correlation in all measurement parameters of the MarBES device except for X axis measurements of right leg (eyes open) and double leg eyes closed (p<0.005). Conclusion: Objective evaluation of balance and coordination parameters is very important in rehabilitation. Resulde of the study showed that the MarBES device developed by the researchers is a reliable method for the evaluation of balance and coordination in healthy young individuals.

    (ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2014) ÖZGÜL, BAHAR; Sari, Zubeyir; Polat, Mine Gulden; Ozgul, Bahar; Aydogdu, Onur; Camcioglu, Burcu; Acar, Ahmet Hakan; Yurdalan, Saadet Ufuk
    Purpose: The aim of the present study was to investigate the use of matrix rhythm therapy (MRT) as one of the electrotherapeutic modalities in clinics. Methods: This study was carried out in the Burn and Wound Treatment Department of Dr. Lutfi Kirdar Kartal Education and Research Hospital in Istanbul between October 2010 and August 2011. A treatment protocol including whirlpool, MRT and exercise was applied to a group of patients who had burn injury of upper extremity. The evaluation of each patient included assessment of pain, range of motion, muscle strength, skin flexibility and sensory function at pre- and post-treatment. Results: There was no significant difference in values of pain, muscle strength and flexibility between pre- and post-treatment assessments (p > 0.05). A significant increase was found in the range of motion and sensory function at pre-treatment according to post-treatment (p < 0.01). Conclusion: The usage of MRT in order to maintain and improve the range of motion and to minimise the development of scar tissue was investigated in this study. We suggest conducting randomised controlled studies that carry out a comparison of the MRT with other treatment modalities with more cases and investigate the long-term effects of MRT.

    The relationship between diabetes knowledge level, physical activity, and quality of life in older adults
    (2023-08-01) KURU ÇOLAK, TUĞBA; ÖZGÜL, BAHAR; Akçay B., Kuru Çolak T., İğrek S., Özgül B., Apti A.
    Aim: This study aimed to examine the relationship between knowledge about diabetes, physical activity, and quality of life in older adults with type 2 diabetes. Material and Method: A total of 188 geriatric individuals with a mean age of 75.2 years were included in this study. The level of knowledge about diabetes was assessed by the Diabetes Information Questionnaire-24, the Kasari index was used to assess the level of physical activity, and quality of life was assessed by the Diabetes-39 Quality of Life Questionnaire. Results: The participants’ knowledge about diabetes, their physical activity levels according to the Kasari index, and Diabetes-39 quality of life scores were all low. It was determined that level of knowledge was significantly related to physical activity and the Diabetes-39 diabetes control subgroup score (p<0.005). There was a significant relationship between the Kasari index and Diabetes-39 quality of life total score (p<0.005). Conclusion: Level of knowledge about diabetes is related to physical activity and quality of life in elderly adults. It is important to encourage participation in training programs and increase physical activity to improve the quality of life of these individuals, who must live with this chronic disease for many years while also accompanied by geriatric symptoms.

    Ayak postürüne göre ayak bileği çevresi kas yapısının incelenmesi
    (2022-12-09) ÖZGÜL, BAHAR; DEMİRBÜKEN, İLKŞAN; POLAT, MİNE GÜLDEN; Özgül B., Aygün N. B., Demirbüken İ., Polat M. G.
    Amaç: Internal ve eksternal yumuşak doku yapıları, kuvvet ve dinamik destek uygulayarak ayak postürü üzerinde etkilere sahiptir. Bu çalışma kapsamında farklı ayak postürüne sahip bireylerde muskuloskeletal ultrasonik değerlendirmesiyle ile seçilen kasların yapısal karakterizasyonun gerçekleştirilmesi ve ayak bileği çevresinde yer alan majör kas gruplarının yapısal özelliklerinin karşılaştırılması amaçlandı. Yöntem: Otuz üç kadın olgunun (ortalama yaş: 21,45±1,60 yıl) dominant ayağı Ayak Postür İndeksi (APİ) uygulanarak değerlendirildi ve pron ayak postürüne sahip 15 olgu (APİ skoru = 6-10) ve normal ayak postürüne sahip 18 olgu (APİ skoru = 0-5) tespit edildi. Olguların tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius medialis ve peroneal kasların kalınlığı ve ek olarak peroneal kasların kesit alanı görüntüleri 5-13 MHz’lik bir prob ve Venue 40 ultrasonografik görüntüleme sistemi aracılığıyla toplandı. ImageJ programı kullanılarak üç farklı görüntünün ilgili yapısal özellikler analiz edildi ve ortalaması alındı. Ultrasonografik görüntüleme, uluslararası sertifikası olan ve beş yıldır muskuloskeletal ultrasonik görüntülemede tecrübesi olan fizyoterapist tarafından gerçekleştirildi. Bulgular: Her iki grupta yer alan olgular demografik özellikler açısından benzerdi (p>0,05). Pron ayak postürüne sahip bireylerin tibialis anterior (p=0,025, z=2,242), peroneus brevis (p=0,013, z=-2,459) ve total peroneus kas kalınlığının (p=0,007, z=2,639) normal ayak postürü grubundan daha fazla olduğu tespit edildi. Gastrocnemius medialis, peroneus longus kalınlığı ve peroneal kasların kesit alanı açısından gruplar arasında fark yoktu (p>0,05). Sonuç: Mevcut çalışmanın bulgularına göre, ayak postürüne göre ayak bileği hareketlerini kontrol eden tibialis anterior ve peroneal kasların kalınlığı farklılık gözlenmektedir. Daha fazla olgunun yer aldığı, ayak postürüne göre tendona aktarılan kuvvet hakkında daha detaylı bilgi verebilen penasyon açısının da değerlendirildiği ileri çalışmaların yapılması planlanmıştır.

    Comparison of Two Different Proprioception Measurement Methods in the Shoulder Joint
    (2024-05-01) KILIÇ, TALHA; KURU ÇOLAK, TUĞBA; ÖZGÜL, BAHAR; Kılıç T., Kuru Çolak T., Tekin A., Özgül B., Çakmak Reyhan A.
    Aim: Proprioception assessment is important in shoulder rehabilitation. Proprioception sense can be evaluated with different methods in the clinical setting. The aim of this study was to compare shoulder proprioception measurements made with universal goniometer and isokinetic system. Methods: A total of 52 healthy individuals with a mean age of 24.6 ±4.29 years were included in the study. Shoulder proprioception was evaluated three times with a universal goniometer and isokinetic device at 30, 45 and 60 degrees shoulder flexion angles with eyes closed in a sitting position and mean values were recorded. Results: When the results obtained with the two measurement methods were compared, it was determined that there was a significant difference between the mean values (for 30, 45 and 60 degrees shoulder flexion angles, p=0.003, 0.005, 0.000, respectively) and there was no correlation relationship between the results of the two measurement methods (p<0.05). However, when the mean deviation from the target angle was compared with both measurement methods, it was determined that there was no significant difference between the measurement methods (p<0.05). Conclusion: The findings of this study demonstrated that when shoulder proprioception was measured using a goniometer or an isokinetic dynamometer at various angles, different values could be obtained. However, since the differences compared to the target angle are similar for the two measurement methods, both assessment methods can be used for proprioception evaluation.
