Filter by:Stroke is one of the leading causes of death worldwide and is among the most important diseases that cause long-term disability in adults. In high-income countries, the incidence of stroke has decreased significantly with increased use of preventive therapies and control of risk factors. Stroke has a significant impact on individuals' independence and productivity. Walking capacity is limited due to motor control, balance, and muscle strength disorders after stroke. In addition, it was determined that the functional exercise capacity of stroke patients decreased when compared to healthy individuals of the same age. The quantitative decrease in muscle mass due to physical inactivity is accompanied by sarcopenia, which worsens the situation. Although the primary impairments affecting gait are muscle strength weakness and loss of coordination, impaired cardiorespiratory fitness can also affect walking performance by limiting endurance. Depending on the change in each parameter after stroke, the functional independence and daily living activities of individuals are affected. A correlation was found between balance and functional mobility and the level of functional independence in stroke patients. It has been found that having a good balance function after stroke significantly increases the likelihood of being functionally independent. When the studies in the literature were examined, no study was found that directly showed the relationship between functional exercise capacity and muscle strength in stroke patients. Therefore, in our study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between balance, functional exercise capacity, peripheral muscle strength, and functional independence level in stroke patients.
The Effect of Core Stabilization Exercises on Balance and Quality of Life in Chronic Period in Individuals With Lumbar Disc Herniation
To Compare Effects of Cognitive and Motor Dual Task Training on Balance and Quality Of Life in Parkinson's Patients
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of robotic rehabilitation on balance, body control, mobility, spasticity, motor function and depression compared to traditional therapy in individuals with chronic stroke. Patients aged between 40-70 years, who applied to the Private Avrasya Hospital Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Clinic, were diagnosed with hemiplegia based on an epicrisis medical board report, were included in the study on a voluntary basis, regardless of gender. After recording the demographic and clinical information of the participants, based on the physician's decision, they were included in 2 groups: conventional treatment combined with robotic rehabilitation (n=20) and conventional treatment only (n=20). While one of the groups received traditional treatment, the other group received robotic walking training in addition to conventional treatment. Traditional treatment includes strengthening, balance, range of motion exercises and gait training applied 3 days a week for 4 weeks. Robot-assisted walking training was planned for 20 minutes, 3 days a week. As assessment methods, number of steps, the 10m Walk Test, Brunnstrom motor staging, Functional Ambulation Classification, Fugl Meyer Rating Scale (lower extremity section), Modified Ashworth Scale, Beck Depression Scale, Tinetti Balance and Gait Test, Postural Assessment Scale in Stroke Patients and Stroke Impact Scale were used. Gender, age and duration of illness showed homogeneous distribution between the groups.

Osteoarthritis is a chronic, degenerative disease affecting the joints. It is characterized by the presence of bone tissue that goes to make up for the loss of articular cartilage, causing pain and limitation of movement. Osteoarthritis is a direct consequence of aging: it affects almost all 70-year-olds, peaking between 75 and 79 years. The presence of osteoarthritic processes at the hip and knee joints can result in pain, difficulty maintaining standing for a long time, and difficulty walking with loss of balance, increasing the risk of accidental falls to the ground. Falls are a frequent cause of mortality and morbidity and, often, limit autonomy leading to premature entry into assisted living facilities. In Italy, in 2002 it was estimated that 28.6% of people over 65 years fall within a year: of these, 43% fall more than once and 60% of falls occur at home. Such falls can often result in fractures leading to the need for hospitalization with significant impact on both motor and cognitive function. Balance and gait rehabilitation are of primary importance for the recovery of a person's autonomy and independence, especially in older individuals who have undergone osteosynthesis or prosthesis surgery of the lower limbs. Technological and robotic rehabilitation allows for greater intensity, objectivity, and standardization in treatment protocols, as well as in outcome measurement. In this context, patient motivation is fuelled and maintained by both the sensory stimuli that support technological treatment and the challenge of achieving ever better results, objective feedback from instrumental assessments. Osteoarthritic patients who have undergone osteosynthesis or lower extremity prosthetic surgery require special attention, especially with the goal of preventing further accidents and reducing the patient's risk of falling. Given these considerations, it is believed that conventional physical therapy combined with technological balance treatment may be more effective on rehabilitation outcome than conventional therapy alone.
Shoulder pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints that people need treatment for. Typical signs and symptoms include pain during reaching, muscle weakness, and interrupted sleep. The shoulder is one of the most common areas of pain, ranking third among musculoskeletal pains in the general population. There is a lack of information regarding the impact of shoulder-related problems on the general population, and therefore there is a growing interest in identifying adverse factors associated with shoulder problems. In our study, the postural stability and balance status of individuals with shoulder pain complaints will be evaluated and the effects of conventional treatment of shoulder pain on postural instability and balance parameters will be investigated.
The aim of this study is to test whether when using the Vestibular Rehabilitation App older patients perform rehabilitation in a similar manner as when directly instructed by a clinician. A secondary goal is to evaluate usability and enjoyment of the app.
Postural balance can be described as the integration of the information obtained from visual, vestibular and somatosensory systems. Postural stability is achieved by sensory information about the static or dynamic position of the body resulting in an appropriate motor response. Poor postural stability in individuals with knee osteoarthritis often results in an increased risk of falling and decrease in mobility. It has been reported that 40% of knee osteoarthritis patients fall at least once in a year. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a surgical treatment approach applied to individuals with advanced knee osteoarthritis. It has been shown that this method provides an improvement in the postural stability levels of individuals compared to the preoperative period and a decrease in number of falls reported by the patient. Even if this improvement is achieved, postural stability losses can still be observed in individuals undergoing TKA which affect balance performance. Obesity is defined by an excessive increase in the ratio of body fat mass relative to lean mass. Individuals with a Body Mass Index (BMI) above 30 kg/m2 are defined as obese. Changes in body composition and increased adiposity rate lead to significant locomotor system problems. A decrease in postural control, increased risk of falling or fear of falling can be defined as locomotor system problems. It has been reported that there is a relationship between increased fat ratio and loss of postural stability in adult obese individuals. In a published study, it was reported that as of 2029, 46% of the population in America will be obese or morbidly obese, and 69% of individuals who have undergone total knee arthroplasty surgery will be obese or morbidly obese. Obesity causes several complications such as increased mortality and increase in likelihood of revision surgery that can be seen after total knee arthroplasty. Therefore, it is clinically important to determine the functional status and balance status in order to reduce the possible long-term complications that may develop in the post-operative period and the risk of falling, especially in obese individuals. The effects of increasing obesity level on postural stability in individuals undergoing total knee arthroplasty are unknown. In this context, the aim of our study is to compare the postural stability levels of normal, overweight and obese individuals who underwent total knee arthroplasty.
Sarcopenia is quickly becoming a major global public health issue. Falls are the leading cause of mortality among the elderly, and they must be addressed. The investigators will use machine learning techniques such as empirical mode decomposition technology and decision tree algorithms to extract the characteristics and classification of sarcopenia in this retrospective study in order to offer clinically proven and effective interventional strategies to prevent, stabilize, and reverse sarcopenia.
