There are about 15072 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Turkey. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
The primary aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the One Leg-Standing Test (OLST) and the Gross Motor Function Measurement (GMFM) and stance phase stability during gait in Unilateral Cerebral Palsy (UCP). The secondary aim was to explore a new well-defined pedobarographic parameter as a functional factor in the stability of stance in gait. The investigator's hypotheses are (1) OLST has relationship between T2-T1 in children with UCP; (2) OLST has relationship between GMFM D and E. Eighteen children with UCP and ten typically developing children (TDC) participated in the study. All participants and their legal guardians signed an informed consent form before participating. Firstly, to asses the stability in stance all participants were analyzed by using pedobarographic analysis and the OLST. After analysis, only the UCP group was evaluated with the GMFM. The TDC group was used for comparison of pedobarographic stance phase stability (T2-T1) and OLST values.
Freeline is developing adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector based gene therapies for a number of diseases and is actively advancing a programme in Haemophilia B (HB). This study aims to collect prospective data to characterise bleeding events and Factor IX (FIX) concentrate consumption in HB patients that can be used as baseline for participants who elect to participate in a subsequent Freeline gene therapy study. The study will also screen participants for antibodies to a novel AAV vector to assess their suitability for inclusion in a Freeline gene therapy treatment study.
In determining respiratory muscle strength, mouth pressure measurement is most frequently used in the clinic. Determination of respiratory muscle strength loss provides benefits such as taking the decision to use individual rehabilitation methods, making the decision for extubation in patients with mechanical ventilation. But Turkey normative values, these values are not available. In the investigator's country, the respiratory muscle forces of the cases are evaluated by comparing them with the normal / expected values of the Scandinavian races that do not have similar anatomical features with the Turkish society, which causes errors in diagnosis. The 250 healthy cases, whose age ranges are between 20-70, 20-29, 30-40, 40-49, 50-59 and 60-70, will be examined by a pulmonologist and asked if they have any disease that may affect respiratory muscle strength. Mouth pressure measurements will be made for healthy and inclusion criteria, and maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressure distributions will be examined.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of dynamic elastomeric fabric orthoses (DEFOs) used for lower trunk and pelvis on balance, gait parameters, and pelvis symmetry in children with cerebral palsy. Materials and Methods: Twenty-two children (7 girls, 15 boys) in an age range of 4-10 years, with spastic type cerebral palsy, and at gross motor function classification system levels 1 or 2 were included in the study. Children who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into two groups. Ten children were included in the control group (Group I) and 12 children were included in the orthosis group (Group II). Both groups received a physiotherapy and rehabilitation program twice a week for 8 weeks in accordance with neurodevelopmental treatment approaches. Children in Group II were treated with DEFOs in lower body and pelvis in addition to physiotherapy and rehabilitation sessions. The use frequency of the orthosis was extended over the course of the week during which they were active for 8 hours a day. After the demographic data of the children were recorded, the Pediatric Balance Scale and the Timed Up and Go Test were used for balance assessment. Gait parameters and kinematic values of the pelvis were evaluated using the BTS G-Walk®, a wireless mini digital gait analysis system.
In patients undergoing lower abdominal surgery, postoperative pain management is frequently provided with systemic opioids use or neuraxial methods. Ultrasound-guided TFP block is the preferred method to reduce the use of opioids and systemic analgesics for postoperative pain management. TFP block provides anesthesia and analgesia in the inguinal region by blocking the ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerves. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of ultrasound-guided TFP Block on postoperative pain scores in pediatric lower abdominal surgery.
With the positive contribution of technological developments to living conditions and improvements in health services, the ratio of elderly population to general population is increasing all over the world. Cognitive decline and deterioration are among the most feared in the elderly and have high costs. Dementia is one of the most common diseases of old age. The prevalence of dementia increases in societies where the elderly population increases. At first, while memory is impaired, functions such as attention, language, visuospatial skills, perception and problem solving are impaired. It is estimated that the number of people living with dementia in the world is now 35.6 million, and it will reach 131.5 million by 2050. Since there is no treatment or effective disease modifying drug to treat the most common types of dementia to date, the research should focus on the development and implementation of non-pharmacological interventions as an alternative or as an additional treatment. In the field of rehabilitation; regular physical exercises, such as walking, strength and balance exercises, dance and chair exercises, can improve physical and cognitive functions such as fitness, daily functions, executive functions, language and working memory in people living with dementia. Movement activation groups such as psychomotor group therapy have been found to have a positive effect on the social behavior of people living with emotional and dementia. Recent meta-analyzes have shown that physical exercise can help maintain and even improve cognitive function in healthy elderly adults. There is evidence that exercise increases the volume of the prefrontal cortex and anterior hippocampus and may increase neurogenesis. Computer-based cognitive education has received great attention as a safe, relatively inexpensive and scalable intervention aimed at protecting cognition in older adults. It is an innovative way of exercising in a virtual reality or gaming environment that can help dementia patients to be physically active while being cognitively stimulated. In our study, it was seen that the number of studies on this subject is small and the devices used in the studies were made with game consoles and there were problems in working with game consoles in patients with dementia. Within the framework of all this information, we aimed to investigate the cognitive effects of physical activity and their differences according to each other with computer assisted exergame study written for rehabilitation in demented individuals; We aim to increase cognitive functions and increase quality of life and reaction time of exergamine dementia.
The aim of the present study is compare the frequently used pain and disability assessment questionnaires before and after 5 sessions of standard treatment for patients admitted to the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation outpatient clinic for plantar fasciitis and who were queued to receive extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) treatment.
