    The effect of telerehabilitation on quality of life, anxiety, and depression in children with cystic fibrosis and caregivers: A single-blind randomized trial
    (2022-05-01) KENİŞ COŞKUN, ÖZGE; KARADAĞ SAYGI, NAİME EVRİM; KENİŞ COŞKUN Ö., Aksoy A. N., Kumas E. N., Yilmaz A., Guven E., Ayaz H. H., Sozer T., ERGENEKON A. P., Karadag-Saygi E.
    Background Postural and aerobic exercises are essential in rehabilitation in cystic fibrosis (CF). The aim of this study is to examine the effect of telerehabilitation on the quality of life, depression, and anxiety levels of children with CF and their caregivers\" mood and anxiety levels. Materials and Methods Patients between the ages of 6-13 with CF were randomized into two groups. Study group received an exercise program three times a week via Zoom for 12 weeks. Cystic Fibrosis Revised Questionnaire (CFQ-R), Anxiety and Depression Scale in Children-Revised (RCADS) were applied to the patients and State-Trait Anxiety Scale (STAI) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were applied to the caregivers in the beginning and at the end of the program. Patients\" FEV1 levels and 6-min walk tests were also measured. Results Twenty-eight patient-caregiver dyads, 14 dyads in each group, completed the study. The initial mean RCADS-Major depressive disorder score of the patients in the exercise group was 6.21 +/- 3.11, and this value decreased to 3.92 +/- 3.79 at the end of the study and was significantly better (p < 0.02). A similar significant change was observed when the RCADS-generalized anxiety disorder score decreased from the initial mean level of 6.28 +/- 2.81 to 3.42 +/- 2.65 (p < 0.01). There were significant changes in improvement in the body image in telerehabilitation group. Similar significant changes were not observed in the control group. Caregivers\" anxiety and depression levels did not change significantly. Conclusion A short-term telerehabilitation program improved patients\" anxiety and depression levels, body image, and functional status. However, caregiver anxiety and depression levels did not change significantly.

    Comparison of telerehabilitation versus home-based video exercise in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy: a single-blind randomized study
    (2022-10-01) KENİŞ COŞKUN, ÖZGE; ÖZTÜRK THOMAS, GÜLTEN; KARADAĞ SAYGI, NAİME EVRİM; KENİŞ COŞKUN Ö., Imamoglu S., Karamancioglu B., Kurt K., ÖZTÜRK G., Karadag-Saygi E.
    Introduction Patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) have lost their access to on-site rehabilitation due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Telerehabilitation can be a viable approach for these patients to protect their muscle strength and functional status. The aim of this study is to compare telerehabilitation with home-based video exercises. Patients and methods Male, ambulatory DMD patients were randomized into telerehabilitation and video-exercise groups. Nineteen patients were included in the fnal analyses. Telerehabilitation consisted of live online exercises, while video exercise implemented a pre-recorded video as a home-based program. Both programs spanned 8 weeks, three times a week. Patients’ muscle strength with a hand-held dynamometer, Quick Motor Function Test, North-Star Ambulatory Assessment (NSAA), 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) and Caregiver Burden were recorded before and after treatment. Results The 6MWT of the telerehabilitation group was391.26±95.08 m before and387.75±210.93 after treatment (p=0.94) and 327.46±103.88 m before treatment and313.77±114.55 after treatment in video group (p=0.63). The mean NSAA score of the telerehabilitation group were26.70±8.04 before treatment and 25.20±11.33 after treatment (p=0.24). In the video group scores were 21.66±6.65 before to 22.00±8.61 after treatment (p=0.87). There were no signifcant changes between groups at the end of the treatments. The telerehabilitation group's neck extension, bilateral shoulder abduction, and left shoulder fexion, bilateral knee fexion and extension, bilateral ankle dorsifexion, and left ankle plantar fexion strength improved signifcantly and were better than the video group (p<0.05 for all measurements). Conclusion A telerehabilitation approach is superior in improving muscle strength than a video-based home exercise, but none of the programs improved functional outcomes in ambulatory patients with DMD.

    The involvement of musculoskeletal system and its influence on postural stability in children and young adults with cystic fibrosis
    (BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2017-12) KARADAĞ, BÜLENT TANER; Kenis-Coskun, Ozge; Karadag-Saygi, Evrim; Bahar-Ozdemir, Yeliz; Gokdemir, Yasemin; Karadag, Bulent; Kayhan, Onder
    Background: Cystic fibrosis (CF) affects the musculoskeletal system via a multifactorial pathway that includes vitamin D deficiency and involvement of respiratory muscles such as intercostals due to recurrent upper and lower respiratory tract infections. Eventual result is the deterioration of musculoskeletal health and posture in CF patients. Postural stability is directly affected by posture and can be compromised in every musculoskeletal problem. The aim of this study is to evaluate musculoskeletal system and postural stability in patients with CF. Methods: Patients with CF over six years of age and age and sex-matched control groups were included in the study. Cobb angle and thoracic kyphosis angles were measured on the spine radiographs. Both patients and control group were examined with pediatric gait, arms, legs and spine scale (pGALS). They also were evaluated with a NeuroCom Balance Master for their postural stability. Results: Fifty-one patients with CF and 94 healthy controls participated in the study. In results of the pGALS examination, CF group had significantly more pathological findings than the control group in lower extremity appearance and movement (p = 0.006 and p = 0.01) and spine appearance and movement (p = 0.001 and p = 0.022) domains. The tandem walking speed was significantly higher in controls with a mean of 24.45 +/- 7.79 while it was 20.47 +/- 6.95 in the CF group (p = 0.03). Various limits of stability parameters also showed significant differences. Medium correlations were found between musculoskeletal examination and postural stability parameters. Conclusion: In patients with CF, a systematic but simple musculoskeletal examination can detect pathologies, which are more frequent than the normal population. These pathologies show a medium correlation with the involvement of postural stability.
