Öğe The Effects of Kinesio Taping on Reaction Time, Pain, Hand Grip Strength and Upper Extremity Functional State in Patients with Lateral Epicondylitis(2021) Toy, Şeyma; Şenol, Deniz; Çiftçi, Rukiye; Kızılay, Fatma; Ersoy, YükselPurpose: This study aims to evaluate the effects of kinesio taping (KT) in addition to conventional physiotherapy methods, on visualreaction time (VRT) and auditory reaction time (ART), pain, handgrip strength (HGS), and upper extremity function in patients withlateral epicondylitis (LE).Materials and Methods: 70 patients diagnosed with LE by a physician in a university hospital were included in the study. Patientswith LE were randomly divided into “Inhibitory KT” (IKT) and “Sham KT” (SKT) groups. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) measureswere made at rest (VAS-R), with movement (VAS-M), and at night (VAS-N) separately. Hubbard Scientific reaction timer for VRTART assessment, quick disability of the arm, shoulder, and hand questionnaire (Quick DASH) for the functional state, and Jamar handdynamometer measurements for HGS were recorded for pre-treatment and post-treatment comparisons.Results: In pre-treatment and post-treatment group comparison, it was found that both groups showed statistically significant recoveryin all parameters (p<0.05). When post-treatment data of the groups were compared, it was found that VAS-M, VAS-R, VRT, and ARTscores showed a statistically significant decrease in the IKT group (p<0.05).Conclusion: The present study shows that KT application in addition to conventional physiotherapy was an effective method in LE’sconservative treatment. Statistically significant differences were found on pain, reaction time (RT) scores in favor of the IKT groupwhen the post-treatment results of both groups were comparedÖğe Evaluation of visual and auditory reaction time, pain, and hand grip strength performance before and after conventional physiotherapy in patients with herniated cervical intervertebral disc with radiculopathy(Kare Publ, 2021) Şenol, Deniz; Kızılay, Fatma; Toy, Şeyma; Çiftçi, Rukiye; Ersoy, YükselOBJECTIVE: Herniated cervical intervertebral disc (cervical disc herniation [CDH]) with radiculopathy is known to occur in seven or eight out of 100 people worldwide. This disease causes movement limitation, loss of strength, and pain of upper extremity. The aim of this study is the effect of conventional physiotherapy agents on predetermined parameters in patients with cervical radiculopathy and to compare the results with healthy controls. METHODS: A total of 102 patients with CDH with radiculopathy and 98 healthy controls were included in the study. Visual reaction time (VRT) and auditory reaction time (ART) measurements were evaluated with reaction timer, while the pain was assessed with visual analog scale (VAS) and handgrip strength (HGS) assessed with hand dynamometer, respectively. Conventional physiotherapy (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, hot pack application, and therapeutic ultrasound) agents were applied 5 days/week for 3 weeks as treatment protocol. RESULTS: As a result, VAS, VRT, and ART scores were significantly decreased, and HGS scores increased significantly in both female and male patients post-treatment measures (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between patient group and control group measurements in post-treatment evaluations (p>0.05). CONCLUSION: This study presents the conclusion to literature that conventional physiotherapy agents have the effect of decreasing pain and regaining motor function and also a therapeutic effect on VRT and ART in the treatment of patients with CDH with radiculopathy.Öğe Fiziksel Engelli Çocuklarda Beslenme Durumu ile Somatotip Profilleri Arasındaki İlişkinin Değerlendirilmesi(2021) Çiftçi, Rukiye; Kızılay, Fatma; Toy, Şeyma; Şenol, Deniz; Akyol, Betül; Ersoy, Yüksel; Özbağ, DavutFiziksel engelli çocuklarda beslenme durumu somatotip karaktertipini etkileyebilir. Bu çocuklarda beslenme durumunun olumsuzetkilenmesi aşırı zayıflığa veya aşırı kilo alımına, özelliklekilonun vücudun santral bölgesinde toplanmasına nedenolabilecek bir etkendir. Fiziksel engelli çocuklarda beslenmeninobezite ile ilişkisi bilinmekle birlikte, somatotip üzerine etkisiniaraştıran sınırlı çalışma bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada fizikselengelli çocuklarda beslenme durumunun somatotip karakterleriüzerine etkisinin belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Çalışmaya 84 fizikselengelli çocuk katıldı. Çocuklar fonksiyonel engel seviyeleri KabaMotor Fonksiyon Sınıflama Sistemi (KMFSS) ile değerlendirildi.Çocukların yaş, boy, vücut ağırlığı, vücut kitle indeksi (VKİ)değişkenleri belirlendi. Somatotip karakter analizi Heath-Cartermetodu ile beslenme durumu ise Çocuk Beslenme Anketi (ÇBA)ile değerlendirildi. Çocuklarda ‘mezomorfik endomorf’, ‘endomezomorf’, ‘dengeli ektomorf’ ile ‘mezomorfi ve endomorfi’olmak üzere 4 somatotip karakteri belirlendi. Yapılan istatistikselanaliz sonucunda fiziksel engelli çocukların somatotipkarakterleri ile beslenme durumları arasında ilişki olmadığıbelirlendi (p>0.05). Fiziksel engelli çocuklarda somatotipkarakterleri ile beslenme durumları arasında ilişki bulunmadı. Budurum fiziksel engelli çocuklarda somatotip karakteri belirleyendiğer etkenlerin araştırılması yönünden dikkate alınmalıdır.Öğe Morphometric Examinations of Internal Carotid Arteries of Patients with Hypertension and Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Radio Anatomic Study Based on Computed Tomography Angiography Findings(Turkish Neurosurgical Soc, 2022) Çiftçi, Rukiye; Ulubaba, Hilal Er; Şenol, Deniz; Toy, Şeyma; Yıldırım, İsmail OkanAIM: To examine the relationship between the morphologic features of the internal carotid artery (ICA) and symptoms affecting cerebral blood circulation including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hypertension (HT).MATERIAL and METHODS: In this study, retrospective morphometric analysis of ICA measurements from 100 patients (aged 45-60 years) was performed using computed tomographic angiography (CTA) images. The images were divided into four groups: patients with HT (group 1), patients with T2DM (group 2), patients with HT and T2DM (group 3), and a healthy control group (group 4). Length and diameter measurements of the cervical, petrous, cavernous, and terminal segments of the ICA were made using 3D CTA images and recorded. The measurements of the male and female patients were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test and the groups were compared using the Kruskal-Wallis H test.RESULTS: It was found that there were statistically significant differences between male and female patients in terms of the right and left petrous, cavernous, and terminal segments of the ICA in group 1, right and left cervical left cavernous in group 3, left cervical, right and left petrous, cavernous, and right cavernous in group 4 (p<0.05). According to the Kruskal-Wallis H test analysis results, it was determined that there were no statistically significant differences between the patients in the four groups for all segment measurements (p>0.05).CONCLUSION: It was determined that ICA was more affected by HT than diabetes. In addition, we think that being knowledgeable of morphometric measurements of ICA will guide radio-anatomic evaluations and increase the level of microanatomic knowledge in surgical treatment.
