    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.

    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.

    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.
