Filter by:This study was designed to examine the effects of peer education-supported psychosocial skills training on stigma perceptions, social functionality and insight levels of chronic psychiatric patients followed up in a community mental health center. The research was planned as a mixed method study conducted in a randomized controlled experimental study design and a qualitative study design. With the findings obtained, it is aimed to increase the social functionality of the patients, to increase the level of insight and to reduce the perception of stigma, and to close an important gap in the literature, thanks to peer education-supported psychosocial skills training.
This study aimed to examine the relationship of quality of life with tremor severity and upper limb functionality in individuals with Parkinson's Disease. The differences between Parkinson's Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire, Nine-Hole Peg Test, grip and pinch strength values in the individuals with and without tremor in the study were investigated.
The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of the level of hand fatigability on general fatigue and functionality by comparing Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis individuals with age and sex-matched healthy individuals. 23 RRMS and 23 healthy people (mean age 40.08, 21 females, mean time since diagnosis 9.43 years, mean Expanded Disability Status Scale 3.23) were included in the study. To examine participants' fatigability level; for gross and pinch-grip Dynamic and Static Fatigue Index, for manual dexterity and functionality level Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA), Nine Hole Peg Test (NHPT) and Dexterity Questionnaire-24 (DextQ-24) were used. While Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) and Fatigue Impact Scale (FIS) were used to examine general fatigue, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was used to assess emotional status. The mean age of healthy individuals with RRMS was 40.08 ± 9.81 years, and the EDSS means of individuals with RRMS was 3.23 ± 1.47. 21 of both groups were female and 2 were male. It was determined that the difference between MS individuals and healthy individuals' SARA, NHPT, FSS and FIS averages, initial and final strength values was statistically significant (p≤0.05), and the decrease in force in individuals with RRMS was higher than in healthy individuals. However, there was no difference between RRMS and healthy individuals in terms of fatigability levels examined with the Dynamic and Static Fatigue Index (p>0.05). While the relationship of Static and Dynamic Fatigue Index with FSS and FIS was not statistically significant, the relationship was significant with DextQ-24's dressing, daily activities and TV/CD/DVD subsections (p<0.05). In individuals with early RRMS, there is a decrease in the repetitive (dynamic) and continuous (static) contractions of the rough and pinch grip strength, and this decrease is related to the negative impact on the daily living activities and functionality of the individuals. In particular, motor fatigue should be addressed from the early stages of rehabilitation programs that will be planned to maintain the active participation of individuals with RRMS in their daily living activities. To show motor fatigue with indices, further studies with different fatigue indices and individuals with RRMS at different EDSS levels are needed.
Aging is a dynamic process that affects motor and cognitive functions. Activities of daily living and functionality, including dual task performance, are also negatively affected by these functions. The purpose of this study is to determine of balance training with dual task on cognitive function and functionality.
It was aimed to determine the relationship between post-stroke imagination ability, balance, and functionality, and to compare the motor imagery skills of those who had stroke with compatible healthy individuals.
Psycometric properties of a scale
A single-center, observational, prospective, two dynamic cohorts study with before-after design. Group 1: Treatment with 6 sessions using dry needling with DNHS® (Dry Needling for Hypertonicity and Spasticity) on the spastic muscles of the affected arm in patients with stroke plus standard physiotherapy treatment. Group 2: Standard physiotherapy treatment. Spasticity will be assessed by Modifying Modified Ashworth Scale (MMAS), functionality with the Fugl-Meyer scale for the upper limb, motor recovery with Brunnstrom Stages Scale (BSS) and upper limb spasticity pattern (ULP), pain by 10-points Numerical Rating Scale (NRS10) and the quality of life with the Euro QoL 5D 5L survey. In both groups the valuations will be made following the same schedule.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the additional effects of Short Foot Exercises on pain, biomechanical characteristics and functionality of lower extremity in patients with patellofemoral pain.
The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the long-term effects of 1 year of high-intensity fitness training and low-intensity whole-body vibration training on muscle strength and functionality. Therefore, muscle strength and functionality are measured after a 6-yr interval in older adults (65+).
