GüldenPublication Open Access Comparison of the effects of abdominal massage and osteopathic manipulative treatment home program on constipation in children with cerebral palsy(2024-06-01) ACAR, GÖNÜL; Chatip A. T., ACAR G., Akçay A. A.Background and Aim: The aim of this study is to compare the effects of osteopathic manipulative therapy home program (OMT-H) versus abdominal massage home program (AMHP) in treating constipation in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Methods: Twenty-nine children with CP with a mean age of 12.2 ± 3.76 years, who were constipated and were not on medication, were divided into three randomized groups: (i) control group (n = 10), (ii) AMHP (n = 10), and (iii) OMT-H (n = 9). In AMHP and OMT-H groups, treatment was applied as 20-min sessions every other day for 10 sessions for 3 weeks. Modified Constipation Assessment Scale (MCAS), Rome III criteria, and the Bristol Stool Form Scale (BSFS) were used for evaluation before treatment and once a week during treatment. Results: While there was no change in constipation symptoms in the control group, there was an improvement in constipation symptoms after treatment in the AMHP and OMT-H groups (AMHP, P = 0.003; OMT-H, P = 0.000014). While the treatment showed to be effective from the first week in the OMT-H group, the change in BSFS (P = 0.026) and MCAS sub-parameters was found to be superior. Conclusion: AMHP and OMT-H are effective and beneficial in treating constipation. In children with CP, OMT-H was found to be quicker and more successful compared with AMHP. The OMT-H can be effectively used in clinical practice in relieving constipation in CP.Publication Open Access Cross-Cultural Adaptation of the Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire in Turkish Children(SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC, 2019-02) ACAR, GÖNÜL; Yildirim, Canan Kocaman; Altunalan, Turgay; Acar, Gonul; Elbasan, Bulent; Gucuyener, KivilcimThe Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCDQ'07) is an instrument for screening children between 5 and 15 years of age. Although it is popular, this instrument has not been adapted for use with Turkish children, and there is no valid similar screening tool in Turkey. Thus, this study aimed to provide a cross-cultural adaptation of the DCDQ'07 for Turkish children. We performed the translation process using well-established cross-cultural adaptation guidelines, and we recruited 736 parents (361 males, 375 females) of typically developing children with a mean (M) age of 9.27 years (standard deviation = 2 years 5 months, range: 5.0-14.9 years). We determined the internal consistency of the questionnaire by item and total score correlations, Cronbach's alpha and item-deleted Cronbach's alpha. Intraclass correlation coefficients were used to determine test-retest reliability after an interval of 5 days. The Cronbach's alpha of the Turkish DCDQ'07 was .890 for the total questionnaire. All the item-deleted Cronbach's alpha values were lower than the total value of .890, except the bull in a China shop item (Cronbach's alpha values .896). Test-retest reliability ranged from .99 to 1.00. The Turkish DCDQ is a valid and reliable screening tool for assessing the motor performance of children between 5 and 15 years of age.Publication Open Access Efficacy of neurodevelopmental treatment combined with the Nintendo (R) Wii in patients with cerebral palsy(SOC PHYSICAL THERAPY SCIENCE, 2016) ACAR, GÖNÜL; Acar, Gonul; Altun, Gamze Polen; Yurdalan, SaadetUfuk; Polat, Mine Gulden[Purpose] The aim of this study was to investigate the efficiency of Nintendo (R) Wii games in addition to neurodevelopmental treatment in patients with cerebral palsy. [Subjects and Methods] Thirty hemiparetic cerebral palsy patients (16 females, 14 males; mean age, 6-15 years) were included in the study and divided into two groups: a neurodevelopmental treatment+Nintendo Wii group (group 1, n=15) and a neurodevelopmental treatment group (group 2, n=15). Both groups received treatment in 45-minute sessions 2 days/week for six weeks. Use of the upper extremities, speed, disability and functional independence were evaluated using the Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test, Jebsen Taylor Hand Function Test, ABILHAND-Kids test, and Pediatric Functional Independence Measure (self-care) before and after treatment. [Results] There were statistically significant improvements in all parameters for group 1 and group 2 (except quality of function) after six weeks of treatment. Intergroup analysis showed that group 1 was superior to group 2 in mean change differences in the Jebsen Taylor Hand Function Test. [Conclusion] Our results showed that neurodevelopmental treatment is effective for improving hand functions in hemiplegic cerebral palsy. To provide a enjoyable, motivational, safe, and effective rehabilitation program, the Nintendo (R) Wii may be used in addition to neurodevelopmental treatment.Publication Metadata only El rehabilitasyonu için geliştirilen robotik harici el iskelet sisteminin sağlıklı bireyler üzerinde test edilmesi(2021-04-17) ACAR, GÖNÜL; BAL, ABDULLAH; BAŞPINAR, ULVİ; BAKIR, BARKIN; Yıldız E., Kısacık M., BAL A., BAKIR B., BAŞPINAR U., Bayrak F., ACAR G.Publication Metadata only Eli̇ dışardan destekleyen roboti̇k el rehabi̇li̇tasyon si̇stemi̇ni̇n İnmeli̇ hastalarda etki̇nli̇ği(2022-07-08) ACAR, GÖNÜL; BAŞPINAR, ULVİ; Bayrak F., ACAR G., BAŞPINAR U.Publication Metadata only Erken çocukluk gelişimi- tipik ve atipik(İstanbul Kit (Fatih), 2021-12-01) ACAR, GÖNÜL; ERDOĞAN, RAFET UMUT; Acar G., Erdoğan R.

B., ACAR G.Hareket Gözlem Tedavisi (HGT), hemiparetik serebral palsili (HSP) çocuklarda üst ekstremite fonksiyonunu iyileştirmek amacıyla bir video klip yoluyla birinci perspektiften sunulan amaca yönelik hareketlerin izlenip sonrasında taklit edilmesiyle uygulanabilen bir rehabilitasyon yöntemidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, ebeveyn gözetimi altında ev ortamında uygulanan HGT’nin 8 yaşındaki HSP’li çocuğun el becerisi ve kullanımı üzerine etkisini göstermekti. Olguya konvansiyonel fizyoterapiye ek olarak 3 hafta, haftada 5 gün toplam 15 seans ebeveyn gözetiminde HGT uygulandı. Ebeveyne HGT’nin evde nasıl uygulanacağıyla ilgili bir kılavuz verildi ve ilk seans fizyoterapist eşliğinde ZOOM Cloud Meetings uygulamasıyla gerçekleştirildi. Çocuk Kaba Motor Fonksiyon Sınıflama Sistemine göre seviye II, El Becerileri Sınıflandırma Sistemine göre düzey III ve House Fonksiyonel Sınıflandırma Sistemine göre seviye 5 idi. Tedavi öncesinde ve tedavi sonrasında kutu ve blok testi ve Minnesota el beceri testi ile çocuğun el becerisi ve Çocukların El Kullanım Deneyimi Anketi (ÇEDA) ve ABILHAND-Kids ile el kullanımı değerlendirildi. Tedavi öncesinde kutu ve blok testi sonucu etkilenmemiş el için 29 ve etkilenmiş el için 20 iken tedavi sonrası sırasıyla 32 ve 26 idi. Minnesota el beceri testi yerleştirme alt testinin tamamlanma süresi tedavi öncesinde etkilenmemiş el için 144 saniye ve etkilenmiş el için 229 saniye iken tedavi sonrası sırasıyla 125 saniye ve 215 saniye idi. Minnesota el beceri testi döndürme alt testinin tamamlanma süresi tedavi öncesinde 309 saniye iken tedavi sonrası 269 saniye idi. ÇEDA kavrama etkinliği puanı tedavi öncesi 40 iken tedavi sonrası 41, yaşıtlarına göre zaman kullanımı puanı tedavi öncesi 44 iken tedavi sonrası 56 ve aktivite yaparken rahatsızlık hissi deneyimi puanı tedavi öncesi 45 iken tedavi sonrası 59 idi. ABILHAND-Kids puanı tedavi öncesi 26 iken tedavi sonrası 27 idi. Tedavi öncesi ve tedavi sonrası sonuçlar karşılaştırıldığında ebeveyn gözetimi altında uygulanan HGT’nin el becerisi ve kullanımında olumlu yönde değişikliklere neden olduğu gözlendi. HGT’nin HSP’li çocukların rehabilitasyon programına eklenmesinin yararlı olacağı düşünülmektedir.Publication Open Access Fizyoterapistlerin bel ağrısına yaklaşımları(2020-03-03) ACAR, GÖNÜL; Umut BAHÇACI;TUĞBA KURU ÇOLAK;GÖNÜL ACARAmaç:Türkiye’deki fizyoterapistlerin bel ağrısına yaklaşımlarını, konuyla ilgili bilgi düzeylerini, bakış açılarını, tedavi tercihleriniortaya koymak ve güncel bir bakış açısı oluşturabilmektir.Yöntem: Araştırmacılar tarafından fizyoterapistlere yönelik 18 soruluk bir anket hazırlandı.

Sosyal medyada yer alan fizyoterapi ile ilgili gruplara da anketinulaştırılması sağlandı ve fizyoterapistler tarafından doldurulan tüm formlar analiz edildi.Bulgular: Ankete toplam 115 fizyoterapist katıldı. Çalışmada fizyoterapistlerin, daha çok kronik bel ağrısıyla karşılaştığı,sakroiliak eklem değerlendirmesini büyük oranda yaptığı, mobilizasyon manipulasyon yöntemlerinden daha çok “McKenzie,Cyriax ve Mulligan” konseptlerini tercih ettikleri, elektroterapi modalitelerinden en çok “TENS, ultrason ve enterferans akımı”tercih ettiği, tedavi seçeneklerinde daha çok germe ve postür egzersizlerini, elektroterapi modalitelerini ve spinal mobilizasyonukullandıkları bulunmuştur.Sonuç: Çalışmamızdan elde ettiğimiz sonuçlar Türkiye'deki fizyoterapistlerin bel ağrısına yaklaşımlarını ortaya koymaktadır.Çalışmanın daha net sonuçlar verebilmesi için daha çok sayıda fizyoterapiste ulaşılması gerektiğini düşünmekteyiz.Publication Metadata only Gelişimsel koordinasyon bozukluğunun taranması(2015-12-31) TİMURTAŞ, EREN; KURU ÇOLAK, TUĞBA; POLAT, MİNE GÜLDEN; ACAR, GÖNÜL; TİMURTAŞ E., KURU ÇOLAK T., ELBASAN B., POLAT M. G., ACAR G.Publication Open Access General movements assessment and Alberta Infant Motor Scale in neurodevelopmental outcome of preterm infants(2022-09-01) ACAR, GÖNÜL; Yildirim C., Asalioğlu A., Coşkun Y., Acar G., Akman İ.Aim: We aimed to compare the General Movement Assessment (GMA) and the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) in preterm infants for the prediction of cerebral palsy (CP) and neurodeve-lopmental delay (NDD). Additionally, we aimed to evaluate the diagnostic compatibility of the General Movement Optimality Score (GMOS), the Motor Optimality Score (MOS), and AIMS for detecting CP and NDD.Method: Seventy-five preterm infants with gestational age (GA) 24-37 weeks were enrolled. Group 1 was composed of infants with 24-28 GA (n = 22); groups 2 and 3 consisted of infants with 29-32 GA weeks (n = 23) and 33-37 GA (n = 30) weeks, respectively. The infants were assessed during the writhing period, the fidgety period, and at 6-12 months of corrected age with GMOS, MOS, and AIMS, respectively.Results: In the writhing period, a cramped-synchronized pattern was observed in 17 (22%) in-fants, whereas a poor repertoire pattern was observed in 34 (45%) infants. In the fidgety period of the 63 infants, 29 (46%) presented with fidgety movements absent. The MOS and AIMS scores of the infants in group 1 were significantly lower than the other groups, which were statisti-cally significant (p = 0.004, p<0.00 1). High and positive compatibility (Kappa coefficient: 0.709; p = 0.001) was found between AIMS and GMOS scores and between AIMS and MOS scores (Kappa coefficient: 0.804; p < 0.001). In all groups, a statistically significant association was found between total GMOS scores (p = 0.003) and the presence of fidgety movements (p = 0.003). GMOS, MOS, and AIMS were found to be associated with CP and NDD (p < 0.001).Conclusion: GMA is an important tool for the prediction of CP and NDD. The combined use of GMOS, MOS, and AIMS may guide the clinical practice for the valid and reliable diagnosis of CP and NDD.Copyright 2022, Taiwan Pediatric Association.

DCD is one of the least understood and studied neuromotor disorders, and little is known about the neural mechanisms underlying motor impairment. This makes it difficult to understand why children with DCD have difficulty in learning motor skills and what is the best intervention to optimize motor functions. With the further development of neuroimaging techniques, the number of neuroimaging studies to understand the underlying mechanisms in children with DCD has increased in recent years. Results from these studies suggest that children with DCD activate different regions of the brain during functional tasks and show differences in white matter microstructure, cerebellum, basal ganglia, parietal lobe, and parts of the frontal lobe (medial orbitofrontal cortex and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex) compared with typically developing children. We believe that these neuroimaging data obtained from numerous studies will contribute to the explanation of neural mechanisms related to impaired motor function in children with DCD.Publication Open Access Relationship between sitting posture, sitting balance and upper extremity functions in children with spina bifida(2021-12-01) ACAR, GÖNÜL; Atalay G., ACAR G.Purpose: To evaluate the relationship between the sitting posture, sitting balance and upper extremity functions of children with Spina Bifida (SB). Methods: Thirty-one children with SB, and aged 5-18 years, were included the study. Their physical and clinical characteristics were recorded. Seated Postural Control Measure (SPCM), Pedalo® Balance Measurement System, Sitting Assessment for Children with Neuromotor Dysfunction (SACND), Modified Functional Reach Test (MFRT) and Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test (JTHFT) were used. Results: There was a significant correlation between JTHFT results and the other test results, i.e. Pedalo® (r = -0.478, p=0.007), SACND (r=0.399, p=0.026) and MFRT (r = -0.598, p<0.01). There was no correlation between JTHFT and SPCM (p˃0.05). In Pedalo®, MFRT, SACND, SPCM scores, significant differences were observed between the levels of lumbar and sacral lesions. Conclusion: In children with SB, upper extremity functions and functional independence can be increased by improving sitting postures and sitting balance starting from the early period. We believe that studies searching for sitting mechanisms and exercises that may improve the sitting abilities and hand functions of children with SB are needed.Publication Open Access Serebral palsi açısından yüksek riskli bebeklerde “genel hareketler analizi”nin (GHA) gözlemciler arası tutarlılığının değerlendirilmesi(2022-01-01) ACAR, GÖNÜL; KOCAMAN C., ALTUNALAN T., Özbek S. Ö. , Yılmaz A., Bol H., Özker E., Madi B., ACAR G.Publication Metadata only The Effects of Neurodevelopmental Therapy on Feeding and Swallowing Activities in Children with Cerebral Palsy(SPRINGER) TÜRKDOĞAN, DİLŞAD; Acar, Gonul; Ejraei, Nasim; Turkdogan, Dilsad; Enver, Necati; Ozturk, Gulten; Aktas, GulcinThis study investigated the effect of the structured Neurodevelopmental Therapy Method-Bobath (NDT-B) approach on the feeding and swallowing activity of patients with cerebral palsy (CP) and feeding difficulties. In addition to feeding and oral motor intervention strategies (OMIS), and nutrition-related caregiver training (NRCT), and the NDT-B, which was structured to increase trunk and postural control, was added to the therapy program. Forty patients with CP, with a mean age of 3.25 +/- 0.927 years, were classified using the Gross Motor Function Classification System, Eating and Drinking Ability Classification System, and Mini-Manual Ability Classification System. The patients were randomly assigned into two groups as OMIS + NRCT (n = 20) and OMIS + NRCT + NDT-B (n = 20). The program was applied for 6 weeks, 2 days/week, for 45 min. The patients were evaluated using the Trunk Impairment Scale, Schedule for Oral Motor Assessment, and the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory before and after 6 weeks. The trunk control of the OMIS + NRCT + NDT-B group was superior to the other group (P = 0.026). Although there was an improvement in the groups according to the subcategories of SOMA, the OMIS + NRCT + NDT-B group was superior in the trainer cup and puree subcategories of SOMA (P = 0.05). A significant correlation was observed between trunk control and oral motor functions in children with CP, and the eating function of children in the OMIS + NRCT + NDT-B group further improved. NDT-B-based neck and trunk stabilization exercises should be added to the treatment programs.
