Publication Metadata only Validity and Reliability of Quick Motor Function Test in Ambulatory Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Patients(2022-12-06) KENİŞ COŞKUN, ÖZGE; KARADAĞ SAYGI, NAİME EVRİM; Imamoglu S., KENİŞ COŞKUN Ö., Deveci M., Ozturk G., Karadag-Saygi E.The quick motor function test (QMFT) is used to evaluate Pompe patients\" motor function. This study aims to evaluate the convergent validity and reliability of the cross-culturally adapted Turkish version of QMFT in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Twenty-eight patients diagnosed with DMD were included in the study. The QMFT was translated and adapted to Turkish. The functionality of the patients was assessed with the north star ambulatory assessment (NSAA) and the 6-minute walk test (6MWT); muscle strength was evaluated with a hand-held dynamometer. There were two separate practitioners on the first day of the QMFT study; it was applied a second time by the first practitioner 14 days later. The mean age of DMD patients was 9.03 +/- 3.39 (minimum 4-maximum 18. Twenty-seven patients concluded all the necessary assessments. Intrarater reliability of QMFT in patients with DMD was intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) = 0.98, and interrater reliability ICC = 0.98 was excellent. QMFT correlated very well with 6MWT ( r (s) = 0.86; p < 0.001) and NSAA ( r (s) = 0.91; p < 0.001). Both the QMFT and NSAA show stronger correlations with proximal muscle groups (convergent validity) than with distal muscle groups (divergent validity). QMFT is a reliable and valid test for evaluating motor function in patients with DMD.Publication Open Access 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.Publication Metadata only Small touches to big walks-the impact of rehabilitation on Sjögren-Larsson syndrome: A case report(2022-07-16) YOLCU, GÜNAY; KENİŞ COŞKUN, ÖZGE; KARADAĞ SAYGI, NAİME EVRİM; YOLCU G., Huseynli L., KENİŞ COŞKUN Ö., Karadag-Saygi E.© 2022-IOS Press. All rights reserved.Sjögren-Larsson syndrome (SLS) is a rare neurocutaneous disorder characterized by the presence of congenital ichthyosis, spasticity, and mental retardation. As with other rare genetic diseases, treatment is mainly symptomatic. Due to the absence of definitive treatment, lifelong follow-up and support of patients are important to improve the quality of life. A 7-year-old female child who was diagnosed as having SLS was referred to the rehabilitation clinic. After 20 sessions of a rehabilitation program, she started walking independently with the additional contribution of ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs). The contribution of the short-term rehabilitation approach and especially the administration of AFOs to the independence level of the patient is emphasized herein.Publication Open Access 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.Publication Metadata only A case report of lumbosacral plexopathy in a patient with a history of sacral chordoma and radiotherapy: Will the detection of myokymia on the EMG help to solve the case?(2023-01-01) ALBAYRAK, OSMAN; KENİŞ COŞKUN, ÖZGE; YAĞCI, İLKER; GÜNDÜZ, OSMAN HAKAN; Giray E., Albayrak O., KENİŞ COŞKUN Ö., YAĞCI İ., GÜNDÜZ O. H.BACKGROUND: When a patient with a prior history of malignancy and radiotherapy develops progressive weakness as a presentation of plexus involvement, the differential diagnosis usually rests between radiation-induced plexopathy and invasion from recurrent tumor. The presence of myokymic discharges is helpful in differentiating radiation-induced from neoplastic plexopathy.Publication Open Access Interrater Reliability, Acceptability, and Practicality of Real-Time Video Pediatric Gait, Arms, Legs, and Spine for Musculoskeletal Assessment of Children During Telemedicine Visits.(2022-08-01) KENİŞ COŞKUN, ÖZGE; Giray E., Kenis-Coskun Ö., Karadag-Saygi E., Ozyemisci-Taskiran O.Background/Objective With the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic, telemedicine applications gained momentum, and clinicians tried to develop various musculoskeletal examination methods to be used in telemedicine visits. The aim of this study is to investigate the interrater reliability, acceptability, and practicality of the real-time video Pediatric Gait, Arms, Legs, and Spine (v-pGALS) assessment used in the evaluation during the telemedicine visit. Methods The study was designed as cross-sectional. Twenty school-aged children who presented to outpatient clinics with musculoskeletal complaints were included. For interrater reliability, the children were evaluated by face-to-face examination with v-pGALS, and then the child was reevaluated by another physiatrist with real-time evaluation (online video call) with the help of a parent. For acceptability, the time taken and the discomfort caused were evaluated by patients/parents with the smiley face visual analog scale, whereas to assess practicality, the ratio of completeness to duration of examination completion was recorded. Results kappa coefficient of the agreement was found to be 0.88 between the results of the face-to-face examination and online video examination, suggesting very good agreement between the 2 raters. Acceptability of v-pGALS by parents and patients was high; 60% of children and 80% of parents found the duration of examination acceptable, and 70% of the patients and 95% of parents reported no discomfort caused by examination. The duration of face-to-face examination was 5.75 +/- 1.29 minutes, whereas the duration of online examination was 15.81 +/- 4.9 minutes. Conclusions Video pGALS is a reliable, acceptable, and practical examination system that can be used for musculoskeletal assessment of children in telemedicine visits.Publication Open Access Barriers and facilitators to physical activity participation among community-dwelling physically inactive individuals after stroke: A qualitative exploratory study(2024-03-01) YOLCU, GÜNAY; KENİŞ COŞKUN, ÖZGE; ÇİFÇİLİ, SALİHA SERAP; Karadag-Saygi E., Giray E., Eren N., YOLCU G., KENİŞ COŞKUN Ö., Cifcili S. S.Physical activity has been shown to reduce the risk for first-ever stroke as well as recurrent stroke with positive effects on almost all known modifiable risk factors. However, the perceived barriers and facilitators for engaging in physical activity have been insufficiently studied and may differ between cultures. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the perceptions of community-dwelling physically inactive individuals with stroke about barriers and facilitators to their participation in physical activity. This qualitative study included two focus groups of ten individuals with stroke classified as physically inactive based on accelerometer recordings. A semi-structured set of questions was posed in each focus group session and the transcripts were analysed using thematic analysis. The results revealed three main themes and subthemes: individual factors (physical impairments, psychological factors, spirituality), interaction with the family (attitudes of family members/close community) and social and environmental factors (hobbies, lack of or presence of facilities, the use of orthosis). We conclude that physical activity participation is affected by a multitude of factors as well as cultural differences. Thus, interventions aimed at increasing participation in physical activity after stroke should not only be planned according to individual clinical characteristics but also take into account a range of personal-to-social factors, including cultural differences.
