Filter by:Shoulder pain is a common musculoskeletal problem that increases disability and decreases quality of life in addition to socio-economic impact. Chronic pain is defined as pain lasting longer than three months. Chronic pain is a multidimensional and complex experience. According to this model, chronic pain is a multidimensional and complex experience. This experience may be accompanied by different pain beliefs, pain avoidance behaviours, pain-related fear of movement, anxiety and depression. Many conditions involving the shoulder complex including traumatic and non-traumatic pain, subacromial impingement, postoperative pain, rotator sheath tears, rotator sheath tendinopathy, shoulder arthritis, adhesive capsulitis, shoulder instabilities may lead to pain-related fear of movement. Until now, pain-related fear and avoidance behaviours in patients with shoulder pain have been evaluated with the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale, Pain Avoidance Beliefs Scale and Fear of Pain Scale. However, only patients with low back pain were included in the development of these scales. There was no scale developed specifically for shoulder pain. To fill this gap in the literature, Ansanello et al. developed the "Avoidance Daily Activities Photo Scale for Patients With Shoulder Pain (ADAP)" scale to evaluate pain avoidance behaviours in individuals with shoulder pain. Cross-cultural adaptation, validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the ADAP scale has not been studied. The aim of our study was to perform cross-cultural adaptation, validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Avoidance of Daily Activities Photo Scale for Patients with Shoulder Pain (ADAP Shoulder Scale).
The aims of this study were to perform cultural adaptation of the DESQ and provide information regarding the factor structure, reliability and validity of the instrument in Turkish speaking adults.
Physical fitness levels of people waiting for a planned operation are often measured using an exercise test. This is because fitness levels help doctors make a plan to improve each person's chances of a successful recovery after their planned operation. The exercise test requires skilled staff, expensive equipment, a 1 hour appointment, and the patient to exercise heavily during the test. Ventriject, a small to medium sized enterprise, have designed a device called Seismofit that estimates fitness levels of people from a measurement taken whilst laying down. It measures the vibrations of the chest wall caused by the beating heart and uses this information with additional information, such as height, weight and sex, to estimate fitness. The measurement takes around 5 minutes to perform, does not require heavy exercise, expensive equipment or skilled staff. The Seismofit device was shown to be accurate in young fairly fit people. It has not been tested in people who undergo an exercise test before an operation, who are less fit on average compared to the people that the device was originally tested on. It is likely that the calculations used to estimate fitness levels with the Seismofit device will need to be adjusted for people waiting for an operation. There are two parts to this study. The first part aims to estimate up to 50 people's fitness with the Seismofit device and use directly measured fitness from their standard exercise test before their operation to adjust the calculations for estimating fitness. The second part of this study aims to have a further 50 people undergo the Seismofit device measurement and compare the estimated fitness level with the results from the standard exercise test before an operation. This is to see if the Seismofit device is valid at estimating fitness in people awaiting surgery.
People living with spinal cord injury (SCI) experience a range of secondary health conditions that impact their quality of lives. The Spinal Cord Injury Secondary Conditions Scale (SCI-SCS) is a 16-item questionnaire that assess secondary health conditions in persons with SCI. The total score of SCI-SCS range from 0 to 48 and is derived by adding the scores for each item. Higher scores indicate greater problems with secondary conditions. The investigators aimed to determine the reliability and cross-cultural validation of the Turkish translation of the SCI-SCS.
Sensory disorders are one of the most important problems in individuals with MS, and these disorders are among the first symptoms of MS. Loss of sense of proprioception is particularly common in patients with MS. Studies show that assessment methods for the quantitative measurement of sensory disorders are lacking. Especially in the clinic, there is no evaluation method that evaluates the sense of proprioception. Therefore, the aim of this study perform the validity and reliability study of the lower extremity position test to evaluate proprioception sense in individuals with MS.
SWAY Medical, Inc. (SWAY) has developed a mobile application that assesses balance, functional performance, and cognitive function. Clinical reliability, validity, and normative data have been studied extensively in individuals aged 5 to 20. The accuracy of the SWAY Mobile Application in assessing conditions associated with head injury has also been well established. The objectives of this study are to examine the reliability and validity, and establish normative data, for SWAY balance, functional, and cognitive assessments in healthy adults aged 21-90. The SWAY smartphone app will be used to record balance, simple reaction time, impulse control, inspection time, working memory, reverse number counting, flanker task, modified Stroop, and 30 second chair stand test results. The following tests will be administered to participants: Test of Premorbid Functioning, WAIS-IV Logical Memory, WMS-IV Older Adult Logical Memory, Animal Fluency, Boston Naming Test, D-KEFS Color Word Interference Test, WMS-IV Symbol Span, WAIS-IV Coding, Auditory Consonant Trigrams, Verbal Fluency (FAS), and Flanker Inhibitory Control and Attention Test.
The aims of this study were to perform cultural adaptation of the F-2-MS and provide information regarding the factor structure, reliability and validity of the instrument in Turkish speaking patients with Multiple Sclerosis.
The aims of this study were to perform cultural adaptation of the telephone based ABILOCO-stroke instrument and provide information regarding the factor structure, reliability and validity of the instrument in Turkish speaking patients with stroke.
Way to Drive is a smart phone-based driving telematics application. Research participants are invited to download the app, which uses phone sensors to track driving behaviors including mileage, hard breaking events, and handheld phone use while driving, measured as the phone screen being unlocked while the phone is in the hand and the vehicle is in motion. Before the study team launches a clinical trial using the app, the researchers will test its capabilities and reliability.
The aim of this study is to collect validity evidence for the ACTION-tool on two different simulators: a porcine rib model, and Thiel embalmed human cadavers. Validity evidence will be collected following Messick's framework.
