Filter by:The aim of this study is to examine the prevalence of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) and the relationship between functional level, posture, muscle strength, pelvic floor muscle control, participation in activities of daily living, and quality of life that may be associated with these symptoms. Forty-five children with DMD between the ages of 5-18 (Age: 9.00±3.32 years, Weight: 31,10±12,59 kg, Height: 125,87±18,46 cm) and their families were included in the study. LUTS was assessed with Dysfunctional Voiding And Incontinence Scoring System, functional level with Brooke Upper Extremity Functional Classification and Vignos Scale, posture with the New York Posture Assessment Questionnaire, Baseline Bubble Inclinometer (10602, Fabrication Enterprises Inc. New York, USA) and Baseline Digital Inclinometer (12-1057, Fabrication Enterprises Inc, New York, USA), participation in activities of daily living was assessed with the Barthel Index and quality of life was assessed with the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 3.0 Neuromuscular Module. Also, using the Hoggan microFET2 (Hoggan Scientific, LLC, Salt Lake City UT, USA) device, hip flexors, quadriceps femoris muscles, shoulder flexors, elbow extensors, elbow flexors, trunk extensors and flexors were evaluated in terms of muscle strength. Evaluations were made once, and the associated factors were compared in the group with and without LUTS, and the relationship between the factors and the severity of LUTS was examined.
Introduction: Progressive muscle weakness, joint contractures and body alignment disorders seen in patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) adversely affect the foot structure of the patients. Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between foot posture, performance and ambulation in patients with DMD. Method: The patient with ambulatory DMD will be included in the study. The foot postures of the patients will be evaluated with the Foot Posture Index. Relationships between the Foot Posture Index and performance tests (6 minute walk test, timed performance tests (10m walking, Gower's, climb/descend 4 stair)) and the North Star Ambulation Evaluation, an ambulation evaluation, will be examined.
This study aimed to examine trunk and lower extremity biomechanics among children with lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD). It was targeted to pioneer including biomechanical changes into treatment if detected in the trunk and lower extremities of children. Voluntary participants meeting inclusion criteria were divided into two groups: the LUTD group (n=43) and the healthy group (n=43). No treatment was applied to participants and the same evaluation methods were used in both groups. Trunk muscle strength, muscle endurance, posture, flexibility, and pelvic floor muscle activity of participants was evaluated with stabilizer pressurized biofeedback unit, sit-ups and modified push-ups test; trunk flexors endurance test and Modified Biering Sorensen Test; Posture Screen Mobile And Foot Posture Index; sit-reach-test and Beighton Score; and NeuroTrac-Myoplus4Pro, respectively. In addition, the quality of life of participants was evaluated with Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL).
To investgate the long use of electronic devices that forces the person to adopt an uncomfortable posture which leads to the appearance of musculoskeletal disorders such as neck pain, thoracic pain, back pain and tendonitis of the upper extremities due to writing messages and especially when the person uses only one hand.
Cerebral palsy (CP), which is the largest group of patients among pediatric neuromuscular diseases, is a non-progressive permanent disorder that affects muscle control, movement, posture and balance. The purpose of this study; to evaluate the reliability of photographic posture analysis in the sitting position in children with CP and to examine the relationship between the results of photographic posture analysis with the motor performances and trunk control of children with CP.Children with CP were included in the study according to the following criteria; aged 5-12 years, diagnosed as spastic diplegia or hemiplegia , having a level of "I, II, III" according to GMFCS. Postural evaluation was done using the photographic method. Trunk control was evaluated with Trunk Control Measurement Scale,Motor performance of children was evaluated with Gross Motor Function Measure-88. ICC values for photographic posture analysis was found to be highly reliable.
- To evaluate the effects of a 32-weeks resistance and stretching training program applied in Physical Education classes on forward head and protracted shoulder Portuguese adolescents (15-17 years old). - To evaluate on adolescents submitted to strength and stretching exercises the effects of a 16-week detraining period after the end of the intervention protocol.
