Publication Open Access A Better Way to Decrease Knee Swelling in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis: A Single-Blind Randomised Controlled Trial(HINDAWI LTD, 2019-05-02) DEMİRBÜKEN, İLKŞAN; Sari, Zubeyir; Aydogdu, Onur; Demirbuken, Ilksan; Yurdalan, S. Ufuk; Polat, M. GuldenObjective. In this study, we compared the effects of intermittent pneumatic compression along with conventional treatment with cold-pack treatment along with conventional treatment on clinical outcomes in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Methods. Eighty-nine patients with knee osteoarthritis participated in this study. One group received ultrasound, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, electrical stimulation, exercise, and cold packs. The second group received ultrasound, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, electrical stimulation, exercise, and intermittent pneumatic compression. Range of motion, muscle strength, knee swelling, pain intensity, and functional status were measured at baseline and 4th week. Results. We found significant improvements in range of motion, muscle strength, pain intensity, and functional status after the treatment in both groups (p<0.05). When comparing the effects of these two treatment programs, it was observed that the intermittent pneumatic compression treatment group had a better outcome in terms of knee swelling (p=0.028). Conclusions. According to the results, we could report that intermittent pneumatic compression therapy in addition to conventional treatment has significant positive effects on clinical outcomes in patients with knee osteoarthritis. We could also report that intermittent pneumatic compression therapy along with conventional treatment is superior to cold-pack therapy along with conventional treatment in terms of knee swelling in patients with knee osteoarthritis. This trial is registered with NCT03806322.Publication Open Access Does Kinesiophobia Effect One Day Physical Activity Behaviour and Functionality of Young People with Ankylosing Spondylitis?(MARMARA UNIV, INST HEALTH SCIENCES, 2020-03-31) DEMİRBÜKEN, İLKŞAN; Aydin, Gamze; Demirbuken, Ilksan; Mutlu, Ebru Kaya; Polat, Mine GuldenObjective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between kinesiophobia, physical activity behaviour and functionality in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Methods: This study included 57 participants (mean age, 30.8 +/- 5.19 years) in 2 groups of AS and healthy controls. One day physical activity behaviour was evaluated with tri-axial accelerometer. Tri-axial accelerometer was recorded physical activity domains and intensities for 24 hours. Participants completed clinical questionnaires assessing pain, kinesophobia, disease activity, and functionality. Kinesiophobia and pain were quantified by the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia and Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire. Function and disease activity were rated by using the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index, and Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score. Results: There was no correlation between kinesiophobia and one day physical activity behaviour in AS patients group. There was a negative correlation between high physical activity level and disease activity(p<0.05, r:-.519) and there was a negative correlation between high and moderate physical activity levels, and functionality (p <0.05, r:-.555 r-395, respectively). Conclusion: According to the results of this study showed that; there was a relationship between disease activity, functionality, and one day physical activity behaviour. On the other hand, there was not any relation between pain intensity, kinesophobia and data obtained from accelerometer. Further studies with larger sample size and longer time periods should be carried out to reveal physical activity behaviours and its related factors in AS patients who will survive with this disease for years.Publication Metadata only Functional hip joint centre determination in children with cerebral palsy(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2021) DEMİRBÜKEN, İLKŞAN; Oeztuerk, Orhan; Salami, Firooz; Musagara, Arik Rehani; Demirbueken, Ilksan; Polat, M. Guelden; Wolf, Sebastian, I; Goetze, MarcoBackground: Although functional methods determining the hip joint center (HJC) are becoming increasingly popular, no systematic investigation has been conducted yet to assess the reliability of functional hip joint calibration in patients with cerebral palsy (CP). Research question: What is the most reliable way to conduct functional calibration motions for estimating HJC location in children with CP and movement disorders? Methods: Twenty-two patients with CP were included in the study. A marker set for Plug-in Gait with additional cluster markers was used. Two functional calibration movements, including a new movement, were proposed and tested with one and three repetitions each. Functional HJCs were determined using the SCoRE approach and compared to results obtained by applying the conventional regression method for assessing face validity. Results: The choice of calibration movement had significant impact on SCoRE residuals and HJC location. Increasingly repeating calibration movements did not improve results. A modified star movement by allowing the toes to tip the ground provided the most reliable data and is feasible for children with GMFCS level I-III. The feasibility of the method is further improved by analyzing hip motion in the contralateral stance limb and, among the calibration movements, gave the most precise HJC estimation. Significance: Type and performance of the functional calibration movement is one key factor for determining a robust HJC. Analyzing the data in the stance leg via the modified star motion yielded robust and reasonable results for the HJC location, which should be validated in further studies that include imaging methods. Using one repetition instead of three seems promising in terms of feasibility for patients with movement disorder.Publication Metadata only Beliefs towards mental illness in Turkish physiotherapy students(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2015) DEMİRBÜKEN, İLKŞAN; Yildirim, Meric; Demirbuken, Ilksan; Balci, Birgul; Yurdalan, UfukMental health is a new area of specialization for physiotherapists. However, they usually meet patients with psychiatric co-morbidities secondary to other chronic diseases. It is important to explore the beliefs of future physiotherapists regarding mental illness in order to implement effective strategies to avoid possible stigmatizing attitudes that may interfere with the rehabilitation process. Moreover, the psychiatric field should be introduced to physiotherapists as a clinical and research area. Therefore, we aimed to question the beliefs of physiotherapy students regarding mental illness using the Beliefs towards Mental Illness Scale in two different universities in Turkey. The total score of 524 students was 46.5 +/- 14.5 out of 105 while the Dangerousness Subscale score was 21.2 +/- 5.8/40; Incurability and Poor Social and Interpersonal Skills Subscale score was 24.2 +/- 9.3/55 and Shame Subscale score was 1.1 +/- 1.9/10. Students who had a relationship with an individual having a mental problem and students who had consulted a psychiatrist/psychologist for any mental problem showed more positive beliefs. Future physiotherapists should be informed and trained regarding people with mental illness both to avoid stigma and to be aware of this area in physiotherapy settings. Therefore, it is important to implement new curricula for schools providing physiotherapy education including courses, lectures and clinical practices in the psychiatry field.
