Distal radius fractures (DRF) are the most common upper extremity disorders encountered in clinical practice. With an understanding of the mechanics of distal radius fractures, surgical intervention, and bone healing, the therapist can modify the therapy program according to the patient's individual needs. The therapeutic process is begun in the crucial stage of bone healing during fracture immobilization. By addressing edema reduction and early range of motion of the uninvolved joints, most problems can be avoided before cast or fixator removal. Rehabilitation following the immobilization period should focus on regaining wrist movements provided that earlier problems have been addressed properly. During the rehabilitative process, the therapist can incorporate scar management, modalities, joint mobilization, active and passive range of motion, splinting, and strengthening to maximize the patient's functional result. Massage and mobilization techniques are used in the treatment of DRF due to their analgesic effects. The painless mobilization with movement technique (MWM, developed by Brian Mulligan) is a manual therapy method applies to correct the limitation of movement in the joint and to relieve pain and functional disorders. Many studies have shown that MWM technique provides faster and momentary painless joint movement compared to other physical therapy modalities. The patient group with DRF has a large place in the general population and long treatment processes cause both labour loss and economic loss. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effectiveness of MWM technique in cases with distal radius fractures.
In the literature, research into the examination of the effect of MLD on migraine is quite limited. Our study aimed to examine the effectiveness of manual lymph drainage and connective tissue massage treatments on neck pain and disability, sleep quality, pain threshold and severity, depression and quality of life.
This research was conducted to evaluate the impact of the Problem Solving and Decision Making Training program, which was developed to enhance the problem-solving and decision-making skills of nurse managers at the lower, middle, and upper levels, by the subordinates and superiors of nurse managers. To assess the problem-solving and decision-making skills of nurse managers as perceived by their subordinates, the Problem-Solving Inventory-Managerial Version (PSI-MV) and Decision-Making Styles Scale-Managerial Version (DMSS-MV) underwent adaptation, validity, and reliability studies. These studies aimed to enable the evaluation of nurse managers' problem-solving and decision-making abilities from the perspective of their subordinates.
The goal of our research titled "The effect of the exercise program developed for the upper extremity in diabetic individuals on dexterity, grip strength and proprioception" is to examine the effect of the exercise program created for upper extremity problems in diabetic individuals on dexterity, wrist proprioception and upper extremity functionality. Secondary aims of our study; the exercise program created for upper extremity problems; to investigate the effects of grip strength, neuropathic pain, light touch, proprioception, muscle viscoelastic properties, anxiety and depression levels and quality of life of individuals. The strength of different grip types will be measured, and an evaluation will be made in a short time from the muscle surface with a device called MyotonPro to determine the characteristics of the muscles in hands and arms. In addition to these, 6 separate questionnaires will evaluate the functionality of hands, wrists and upper extremities, pain level, satisfaction level, difficulty level in daily living activities, neuropathic pain problems, depression and anxiety levels and quality of life. In addition, different senses in the upper extremity and hand-wrist will be tested. These measurements will take 1 hour in total and will be repeated 3 times at 6-week intervals. Participant will divide on 2 groups and treatment group will perform exercises with physiotherapist and control group will take conventional physiotherapy program for diabetes. Comparison will be between groups.
This study will focus on the relationship between pillow and mattress factors, musculoskeletal disorders and sleep quality in office workers. Sleep is vital to physical and mental health, and poor sleep can negatively affect cognitive function and workplace performance. Office workers, who often work in sedentary jobs, are particularly prone to sleep disorders. Recognizing the factors that contribute to poor sleep in this population is crucial for developing interventions to improve sleep quality. The study used a cross-sectional design and will collect data from an appropriate sample of office workers (Approximately 600 participants). Various variables will be assessed, including sociodemographic characteristics, sleep-related factors (to be measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index), pillow characteristics, mattress-related factors, musculoskeletal symptoms, and physical activity levels (to be measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire). Descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis will be performed to analyze the data and identify factors affecting sleep quality. Fixed fixes for potential confounders and modifiers. The study aims to identify specific components of the sleep environment related to sleep disorders. The findings of this study will contribute to the understanding of how pillow and mattress factors, along with other variables, affect sleep quality in office workers. The results may provide information for interventions aimed at improving sleep habits, optimizing the sleep environment, and improving overall well-being in this population. As a result, promoting good sleep health among office workers can have positive effects on productivity, safety and overall quality of life.
The goal of this observational study is to examine the level of body awareness in individuals with obesity and investigate the parameters associated with body awareness. In addition, compare these parameters with healthy subjects with normal weight. The main questions it aims to answer are: - How is body awareness affected compared to healthy individuals? - Is physical activity level, dynamic balance, proprioception, and reaction time related to body awareness in individuals with obesity? - Is there any difference between obese and normal-weight individuals in terms of physical activity level, dynamic balance, proprioception, and reaction time?
The study was conducted as a parallel group randomized controlled in order to determine the effects of dry heat and dry cold application before blood collection in school-aged children (7-12 years old) on pain, anxiety and fear levels. Participants were randomly assigned to experiment 1-dry hot application group, experiment 2-dry cold application group and control group. In Experiment 1-Dry Heat Application group, a dry heat of 42°C was applied to the determined area with an electrical heating pad for 5 minutes before blood sample was taken. In Experiment 2-Dry Cold Application group, dry cold was applied to the area determined with a gel pad for 3 minutes before blood sample was taken. In the Control group, blood sampling was performed according to the clinical routine, and no heat or cold application was made.
The goal of this experimental randomized controlled study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the exercise program to be applied to prevent foot wounds, which is one of the leading foot problems that develop as a result of diabetes, based on foot posture and plantar pressure distribution. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria and are between the ages of 18-65 will be randomly assigned to one of the two experimental groups or the control group.Participants will be assessed through surveys to evaluate their physical activity level, foot health and functionality, and sensory status of the feet. Measurements related to foot position and posture will be taken. The use of a pedobarography device will allow for the examination of plantar pressure distribution. Following these assessments, participants will receive general foot care instructions and information on appropriate footwear, along with the designated exercise program. During routine check-ups and treatment procedures related to diabetes, blood glucose levels and HbA1c values taken from participants will be analyzed by the physician before and after the program to make comparisons. The study is planned to last for 12 weeks, and evaluations will be conducted before and after the program.
