Filter by:Osteopenia is a clinical term to define the declined Bone Mineral Density (BMD) as per the normal reference values but not low enough to meet osteoporotic diagnostic criteria. A Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) bone scan is used to diagnose decreased BMD. Osteopenia is, as described by the World Health Organization (WHO), a score ranging from -1 to -2.5, whereas Osteoporosis is diagnosed with values less than - 2.5. The risk of a decrease in BMD doubles as a woman goes into Menopause. The objective of this study will be to determine the effects of Kinect-based virtual reality training on BMD, fracture risk, physical function and Quality of life in postmenopausal women with Osteopenia. The aim of the present study is to translate the ECOS-16 Questionnaire into Urdu Language along with validation of the translated versions by evaluating its validity and reliability in the Postmenopausal women of Pakistan with Osteopenia or Osteoporosis and understanding Urdu Language. No such study has been previously conducted in the Pakistan region which translates the specific questionnaire and follows the proper cross-culture adaptation protocol.

The investigators think that "The Active-Q: Physical Activity Questionnaire" will help physiotherapists and other health professionals in the field and in the field to evaluate individuals' physical activity by revealing their energy consumption values. Therefore, it was aimed to make this scale available to Turkish healthcare professionals by conducting the Turkish validity and reliability study.

The high risk of infants are defined as having a negative environmental and biological factor history, where these factors can lead to neuromotor development problems. It is a heterogeneous group of premature babies born under the age of thirty-seven weeks, with a low birth weight term or infants with developmental retardation due to various reasons. Risk factors in preterm infants include perinatal asphyxia, hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), periventricular leukomalacia (PVL), intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), broncho pulmonary dysplasia (BPD), hyperbilirubinemia, infection. alcohol syndrome, muscle tone disorders, low birth weight, hydrocephalus and microcephaly. These babies, especially preterm infants with low birth weight, may encounter a neurological sequence such as Cerebral Palsy (CP), epilepsy, hearing and vision loss, mental retardation, language-speech, behavioral problems and learning difficulties. CP is the most common disease of childhood, with the possibility of occurrence in 2-3 / 1000 live births.Today, the effectiveness of various methods has been proven to make early diagnosis of CP. One of these methods is the Hammersmith Infant Neurological Evaluation (HINE).
In clinics, many scales have been developed to examine daily living activities and function in children with idiopatic toe walking. "The Idiopatic Toe Walking (ITW)" was developed in 2010 by Cylie M.Williams, contains 21 items which measure medical, birth & developmental history and assessment. The aim of the investigator's study was to investigate translating the ITW scale and using it in clinics reliably and valiably with a Turkish version of ITW in children with idiopatic toe walking.
The measurement of cervical spine range of motion (ROM) figures among the most common aspects of clinical diagnosis. Good reliability has been demonstrated for assessments using ultrasonic movement analysis systems, such as Zebris CMS 70 (Isny, Germany). However, in contrast to combined measurements of movement amplitudes (e.g., flexion plus extension in the sagittal plane), separating the respective components provides less reliable results. Current research suggest that this is due to the participants' determination of the zero position. This position is influenced by possible disposed treatments and, in particular, by the subject in case of subjective determination. The present study therefore aims to examine the test-retest reliability of separate ROM assessments using a bulls eye spirit meter. Twenty healthy participants will be included in the trial that adopts a two-armed randomized, crossover design. With a washout-period of one week in between, each subject participates in two sessions in a randomised order. In both sessions, cervical ROM (flexion/extension, rotation, lateral flexion) will be measured twice (with a five-minute wait period). In all measurements, the zero position will be determined by means of a bulls eye spirit level. The difference of the two sessions consists in the design of the waiting period. In one session, the subjects will keep the mask carrying the ultrasound markers on their head. In the other session, the mask will be removed during the break.
