    Indicators of sitting balance ability and its association with fall risk in early stroke patients
    (2022-06-01) ERSÖZ HÜSEYİNSİNOĞLU, BURCU; Ersöz Hüseyinsinoğlu B.
    Background & Objectives: There is insufficient data establishing correlates of sitting balance performance and its association with fall risk in patients with stroke (PwS). The primary aim of this study was to examine the indicators of sitting balance in early stroke. The secondary aim was to investigate the association between sitting balance and fall risk. Methods: Thirty-three healthy subjects and 52 PwS in early stage (acute and subacute) were included. Trunk muscle strengths, trunk repositioning error, and the presence of core stabilization were recorded in both groups. Stroke patients were additionally assessed with Motricity Index (MI), Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS), and Stroke Assessment of Fall Risk (SAFR). Results: In the stroke group, all trunk muscle groups\" strength and the ratio of presence of core stabilization were statistically lower than healthy participants\" (p<0.001), whereas trunk repositioning error was found higher (p<0.001). Age (beta:-0.301, p=0.01), core stabilization (beta:-0.291, p=0.017), proprioception (beta:-0.236, p=0.036) and MI (beta:0.371, p=0.003) were found to be indicators of TIS. There was a significant association between TIS and SAFR (beta:-0,713; p<0,001). The strength of trunk lateral flexors (p=0,049) and extremities on the impaired side (p=0.012) were moderators of this association. Conclusion: The trunk control in sitting was linked to core stabilization and proprioception of the trunk in PwS. The strength of trunk lateral flexors and extremities on the impaired side were moderators of the association between sitting balance and fall risk. The roles and importance of these factors in designing rehabilitation interventions need to be investigated in future studies.

    Internet-based basic body awareness therapy in fibromyalgia syndrome: A report of three cases
    (2023-02-01) ERSÖZ HÜSEYİNSİNOĞLU, BURCU; YOLCU, GÜNAY; KARADAĞ SAYGI, NAİME EVRİM; Tahran O., ERSÖZ HÜSEYİNSİNOĞLU B., YOLCU G., Saygi E. K.
    Previous literature has shown that basic body awareness therapy (BBAT) may be an effective treatment for fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). This study constitutes the first case study evaluating internet-based BBAT for FMS. The purpose of this case study was to describe the feasibility and preliminary outcomes of an internet-based BBAT training for a total of 8 weeks in three patients with FMS. The patients underwent a synchronous individual internet-based BBAT training. Outcomes were assessed using Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire Revised, Awareness-Body-Chart, Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ), and plasma fibrinogen level. These measures were administered at baseline and after the treatment. Patient satisfaction with the treatment was evaluated using a structured questionnaire. At the post-treatment evaluation, each patient showed improvements in all outcome measures. All patients had clinically significant changes in Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire Revised. The SF-MPQ total score in Patients 1 and 3 exceeded the minimal clinically important difference. All patients\" pain severity exceeded the minimal clinically important difference for Visual Analogue Scale (SF-MPQ). Besides, we found some benefits in body awareness and the level of dysautonomia. At the end of the treatment, patient satisfaction with the programme was very high. Based on this case study, the application of internet-based BBAT seems feasible and promising for clinical benefits.

    A comparison between healthy lifestyle behaviors and physical activity levels of elderly İndividuals residing in the city center and rural, and analyzing their relationship with depression
    (2023-01-01) ERSÖZ HÜSEYİNSİNOĞLU, BURCU; KÖROĞLU F., ERSÖZ HÜSEYİNSİNOĞLU B., UZUN N., KURTARAN M., Şenyurt M. V., Şeker Abanoz E.
    Purpose: This study aimed to determine the differences in the levels of physical activity and healthy lifestyle behaviors in elderly individuals living in urban and rural and to examine their relationship with depression. Material and Methods: Individuals who are over >65 years old and residing in the city and rural were included in the study. The Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale-II, the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly, and the Geriatric Depression Scale-15 were used on the participants. Results: Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale-II scores were not significantly different between the two groups (p=0.430). Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly score in rural (p= 0.001); Geriatric Depression Scale-15 score were statistically higher in the city group (p= 0.01). While the relationship between the Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale-II and Geriatric Depression Scale-15 scores was significant in both groups (p= 0.001 and p= 0.03), the relationship between the Elderly Physical Activity Scale-II and Geriatric Depression Scale-15 scores was significant only in the rural group (p= 0.001). Conclusion: The elderly individuals in rural are more physically active than in the city, and the elderly living in the city have higher depression levels. This current study suggests that the difference in depression scale scores of individuals living in the city center and rural areas may be due to the difference in physical activity scores. The factors affecting depression in the elderly living in cities need to be examined in detail.

    Investigation of physical parameters influencing body awareness in adults with obesity: An observational, controlled study
    (2024-10-01) ERSÖZ HÜSEYİNSİNOĞLU, BURCU; Eryıldız E., Delibaş E., Kesgin İ. M., Öztürk İ. B., ERSÖZ HÜSEYİNSİNOĞLU B.
    Aim: The primary aim was to compare the body awareness (BA) level in adults with obesity and non-obese adults. The secondary aim was to investigate the physical parameters associated with BA and compare them between adults with obesity and non-obese adults. Method: Thirty-two adults with obesity and age and sex-matched 32 non-obese adults were included in the study. The outcome measures were the Body Awareness Questionnaire, International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form and Functional Reach Test to detect BA, physical activity (PA), and dynamic balance level, respectively. Reaction time was assessed by the Nelson Foot Reaction Test and knee and trunk position error by inclinometer. Results: There was no significant difference between the obese and non-obese group in terms of BA score (p = 0.18) and PA level (p = 0.50). Lower dynamic balance was observed in the obese group (p = 0.003). Only the trunk position error was higher in the obese group in the measurement of joint position error (p = 0.010). There were no significant differences in the right and left feet reaction times between the groups (p = 0.68 and p = 0.23). There were no relationships between BA score and PA level (p = 0.93), dynamic balance (p = 0.82), joint position error (p = 0.14), and right (p = 0.33) and left (p = 0.25) reaction times. Conclusion: There was no significant difference in body awareness between the non-obese and the obese group and there was no association between body awareness and the physical parameters. However, adults with obesity had impaired balance and proprioception compared to non-obese ones.
