Filter by:Objective: The aim of this study is to compare neuromuscular exercises and dance Therapy on physical performance and kinesiophobia results in geriatrics. Methods: As a result of the power analysis (G-Power), 36 participants are planned to be included in this study Block randomization will be used to divide participants into 2 groups, each with at least 18 participants: Group 1 (NE Group) and Group 2 (DT Group) (Randomizer.org). NE (Neuromuscular Exercise) group will participate in a 12-week exercise program consisting of sensorimotor system training, postural stability and control, global and local joint stabilization, balance training, muscle strength, breathing, and functional movement patterns.DT (Dance Therapy) Group will participate in 12-week dance training by a dance instructor. In dance therapy practices, simple and selected basic movements are appropriate to the level of the participants. Data will be collected using the Berg Balance Scale,30-second-Sit-to-Stand Test, Manual Muscle Testing, goniometer measurement and Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia. Practice Implications: This current study will contribute to the understanding of how neuromuscular exercises and dance therapy affect physical function and kinesiophobia in geriatrics.
Background: The aim of this study was to compare the knee and ankle muscle architecture and plantar pressure distribution differences in knee osteoarthritis (OA) women with healthy women. Methods: Fifty women with knee OA (Mean age=52.11±4.96 years, mean BMI=30.94±4.23 kg/m2) and fifty healthy women (Mean age= 50.93±3.78 years, mean BMI=29.06±4.82 kg/m2) were included in the study. Ultrasonography was used to evaluate Rectus Femoris (RF), Vastus Medialis (VM), Vastus Lateralis (VL), Peroneus Longus (PL), Tibialis Anterior (TA), and Medial Gastrocnemius (MG) muscle thickness, pennation angle, fascicle length, and fat thickness. The plantar pressure distribution was evaluated using the Digital Biometry Scanning System and software (DIASU, Italy).
Patients will be divided into 2 groups according to the random numbers table, and both groups will receive a conventional physical therapy and rehabilitation program and nutritional support. Afterwards, edema-reducing kinesiotaping will be applied to one group. The applied kinesio tape will remain on the patient for 5 days and will be taped again after 2 days without tape. In this way, taping will be done 3 times in total, once a week for 3 weeks. During this period, patients will continue their routine physical therapy program and measurements will be taken by the same researcher in the 1st week of treatment and 3 weeks later.
To investigate the reliability and sensitivity of the Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire, Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale, and Pain Catastrophizing Scale in patients with chronic nonspecific neck pain undergoing multidisciplinary rehabilitation and to determine the most appropriate minimally clinically significant difference values in order to increase confidence in their use in clinical practice and research for this patient population. Therefore, the current study aims to evaluate the answerability and minimal clinical significance of the Turkish versions of the Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire, Tampa Kinesiophobia scale, and Pain Catastrophizing scales in patients with non-specific chronic neck pain.
Low back pain is an important health problem that is common in public and causes serious socio-economic losses. Low back pain that persists for more than 12 weeks is defined as chronic low back pain. The prognosis in patients with chronic low back pain is generally not good and it significantly affects the patient's daily living activities and workforce. In the clinical course of chronic low back pain, patients generally reduce some activities or avoid them altogether due to fear of pain or concern about worsening of the initial lesion. This fear is called "kinesiophobia", which is an important factor in the chronicity of low back pain and the resulting functional disabilities. Kinesiophobia causes loss of flexibility, decreased muscle performance, muscle wasting, and all of these lead to a decrease in social and physical activities, which perpetuates and aggravates the disability. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between the frequency of kinesiophobia in chronic low back pain patients and age, gender, body mass index, educational status, occupation, pain intensity and disability, and to examine the effect of kinesiophobia on quality of life.
This study will compare functional outcomes after an arthroscopic Bankart repair between patients that underwent conventional arthroscopic Bankart repair rehabilitation, following the American Society of Shoulder and Elbow Therapists guideline and patients that underwent 'multifactorial approach training', which focusses on decreasing kinesiophobia and fear of recurrent dislocations. The study population comprises patients who will undergo Arthroscopic Bankart Repair (ABR) after a traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation at Spaarne Gasthuis Haarlem/Hoofddorp, OLVG Amsterdam, Amstelland Ziekenhuis Amstelveen, Gelre Ziekenhuizen, Medisch Spectrum Twente, or Flevoziekenhuis Almere.
In epidemiological studies, the incidence of foot problems has been found to be high as a result of the increase in life expectancy. The changes that occur in the foot with advancing age are extremely important in that they affect how the foot functions and transfer these effects to other body systems while standing and walking. These changes can also cause foot pain, limit mobility, impair functional performance in activities where the foot bears weight, and increase the risk of falling. In recent years, the level of kinesiophobia in elderly individuals; It seems to attract attention in terms of its effects on balance, falling, risk of falling, fear of falling, depression, physical activity level and quality of life. However, in the elderly living in nursing homes; It is not yet known how ankle joint position sense, foot posture, pain, foot-ankle disability, activity limitation, lower extremity muscle strength, walking speed and functional exercise capacity affect kinesiophobia. By elucidating these relationships, it will be possible to develop intervention strategies aimed at increasing foot-ankle characteristics, lower extremity muscle strength, walking speed and functional capacity, which are modifiable risk factors. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between kinesiophobia and foot-ankle characteristics, lower extremity muscle strength, walking speed and functional exercise capacity in elderly people living in nursing homes.
This study will be conducted as intervention research to determine the effect of mobilization training to be provided to the patient undergoing hip arthroplasty on postoperative kinesiophobia and fear of falling. The project will be carried out with 50 voluntary patients (25 intervention, 25 control) aged over 65 who came to Hospital for hip arthroplasty after femur fracture, can communicate, have no advanced sensory loss related to vision and hearing, do not have a psychiatric history, and will undergo hip arthroplasty surgery for the first time. Data will be collected using a "Sociodemographic Characteristics Questionnaire", the "Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia", and "the Fall Activity Scale". Appropriate statistical methods will be used in the analysis of the data. Patients in the control group will be given routine care during the study. Patients in the experimental group will receive technology-assisted mobilization training in addition to routine care. Before mobilization, a training video loaded into a tablet will be given to patients. Written permission will be taken from the ethics committee and the institution for the implementation of the research and written consent will be obtained from the patients.
Providing information to the patient before surgery has important effects on the patient's self-care skills regarding the treatment and care process, reducing stress and reducing fears in the postoperative period. The primary aim of this study was to examine the effect of preoperative education on kinesiophobia in patients undergoing total knee replacement surgery. In addition, preoperative anxiety levels, time of first postoperative mobilization, number of steps in the first 24 hours after mobilization and pain levels of the patients will be evaluated as secondary outcomes.
Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of motor imagery on muscle activity, pain, and function in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Methods: As a result of the power analysis (G-Power), 36 participants are planned to be included in this study Block randomization will be used to divide participants into 2 groups, each with at least 18 participants: Group 1 (MI group) and Group 2 (Control group) (Randomizer.org). Both groups will receive a 4-week physical therapy program. MI (Motor Imagination) group will receive a motor imagination program in addition to the physical therapy program. Data will collect using the visual analog scale (VAS), goniometric measurement, circumference measurement, Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand Questionnaire (DASH), Kinesthetic and Visual Imagery Questionnaire- KVIQ-20, Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale, 3-question satisfaction questionnaire, superficial Electromyography (EMG) (BTS Bioengineering Free EMG 100 RT). Practice Implications: The current study will contribute to understanding how motor imagination affects muscle activity and muscle atrophy.
