This study aims to determine the effect of plyometric exercises on physical fitness parameters in freestyle adolescent wrestlers.
According to a news published by the World Health Organization (WHO); More than 2.3 million cases of breast cancer occur each year, making it the most common cancer among adults. In 95% of all countries, breast cancer is the first or second cause of female cancer death. In 2020, 2.3 million women worldwide were diagnosed with breast cancer and 685,000 deaths occurred (WHO, 2023; https://www.who.int/news/item/03-02-2023-who-launches-new-roadmap- on-breast-cancer). In our country, breast cancer ranks first among the most common cancer types in women, and the number of breast cancer cases in women in 2020 was recorded as 74 638 (IARC, 2023). As a result of this situation, WHO (2023) published the Global Breast Cancer Initiative Framework to save 2.5 million lives from breast cancer by 2040. This published framework includes health promotion for early detection, timely diagnosis and comprehensive management of breast cancer. One of the most effective ways to reduce breast cancer mortality and morbidity rate is early diagnosis. It is important to determine early diagnosis and signs and symptoms of cancer before they appear. Early diagnosis of breast cancer is possible with breast self-examination (BSE), clinical breast examination and mammography (Kayar, 2019). Breast self-examination is an important examination method in terms of detecting changes in breast tissue and preventing subsequent complications (Abo Al-Shiekh et al., 2021). It is also an easy-to-apply, cheap and non-invasive method. In our country, it is recommended that women regularly perform breast self-examination every month after the age of 20, women between the ages of 20 and 40 should have a clinical breast examination every two years, and women between the ages of 40 and 69 should have a clinical breast examination every year and have a mammogram every two years (Ministry of Health, 2019). . There are studies showing that fear of breast cancer has a positive and negative impact on early diagnosis behaviors (Champion et al., 2004; Yavan et al., 2010). Champion et al. (2004) stated that women with moderate breast cancer fear had a high rate of early detection behavior, whereas low and high fear levels had a negative effect on behavior. In the study conducted by Yavan et al. (2010) on 188 women, 2% of the women. They found that 3 of them had regular BSE and 78.7% of them had never had a mammography. In addition, 85% of the women included in the study stated that they had a fear of breast cancer due to a family history of breast cancer, being diagnosed with breast cancer, and the presence of risk factors. Study results show that fear of breast cancer affects screening results. Therefore, our aim in the study is; To determine the effect of breast cancer and BSE training given to women on breast cancer fear and BSE skills.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of ESWT (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy) and TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) in individuals diagnosed with chronic pelvic pain syndrome and treated with medication. The study was organized as a randomized controlled trial. The sample size is 30 patients suffering from chronic pelvic pain syndrome.
The research is a randomized controlled experimental study. The population of the research will consist of 10-18 year old children who were diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and received chemotherapy, who were admitted to the Children's Hematology Clinic of Adana City Training and Research Hospital between 19.05.2024 and 19.05.2025. Therapeutic play sessions will occur over a 4-week period during chemotherapy treatment.
Studies on gastrocnemius tightness in healthy children are limited, but there is evidence that ankle dorsiflexion decreases with increasing age in children. It is not known whether gastrocnemius tightness is a normal finding in children, but recurrent leg pain is common in children. It is also known that flexible flatfoot is a normal observation in developing children and that the medial longitudinal arch develops during the first decade of life. Both foot morphology and ankle dorsiflexion change in developing children; however, it is not known whether there is a relationship between them or not. In the literature, there is no study evaluating foot posture, muscle strength, functional performance, and postural control in children with isolated gastrocnemius muscle tightness. It was planned to evaluate postural control using computerized dynamic posturography (Biodex Balance System), lower extremity muscle strength using a hand-held dynamometer, foot posture using the Foot Posture Index (FPI-6), and functional performance using single-foot-double-foot jump tests in healthy children with isolated gastrocnemius muscle tightness.
Conditions such as hemiparesis, sensory and motor impairment, perceptual impairment, cognitive impairment, aphasia, and dysphagia may be observed after stroke. Motor impairment after stroke may occur due to damage to any part of the brain related to motor control. There is much clinical evidence that damage to different parts of the sensorimotor cortex in humans affects other aspects of motor function. Loss of strength, spasticity, limb apraxia, loss of voluntary movements, Babinski sign, and motor neglect are typical motor deficits following a cortical lesion (upper motor neuron lesion). Post-stroke spasticity can be seen in 19% to 92% of stroke survivors. Post-stroke hemiparesis is a significant cause of morbidity and disability, along with abnormal muscle tone. It has also been recognized that post-stroke hemiparesis may occur without spasticity. Spasticity seen after stroke causes loss of movement control, painful spasms, abnormal posture, increased muscle tone, and a general decrease in muscle function, and may affect limb blood flow. Studies in the literature show that spasticity can affect limb blood flow. This study aims to investigate the relationship between muscle oxygenation and spasticity in post-stroke hemiparetic patients based on the idea that oxygenation may be insufficient as a result of restriction of blood flow on the affected side due to spasticity in stroke patients.
