    The effect of age and body mass index on plantar cutaneous sensation in healthy women
    (Society of Physical Therapy Science (Rigaku Ryoho Kagakugakkai), 2016) Yümin, Eylem Tütün; Şimşek, Tülay Tarsuslu; Sertel, Meral; Ankaralı, Handan
    [Purpose] This study was conducted to examine the effects of age and body mass index on plantar cutaneous sensation in healthy women. [Subjects and Methods] Two hundred and three healthy female volunteers over the age of 20 were included in the study. The statistical analyses were performed by considering the age and body mass index values of the individuals. The individuals were divided according to their ages and body mass index values. Foot pain was measured with a visual analogue scale and plantar cutaneous sensation using Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments. [Results] Fifty-six (27.5%) of the participants had normal weights, 67 (33%) were overweight, and 80 (39%) were obese. Statistical analysis revealed that as age and body mass index values increased, plantar sensitivity decreased and the frequency and severity of pain increased. [Conclusion] It is possible that healthy women may experience a decrease in foot plantar sensation with increasing weight and age. If women do not have any health problems, proprioception and sensory training must be focused on in order to prevent balance and falling problems. © 2016 The Society of Physical Therapy Science.

    The effect of foot plantar massage on balance and functional reach in patients with type II diabetes
    (Taylor & Francis Inc, 2017) Yümin, Eylem Tütün; Şimşek, Tülay Tarsuslu; Sertel, Meral; Ankaralı, Handan; Yümin, Murat
    Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of manual foot plantar massage ( classic and friction massage) on functional mobility level, balance, and functional reach in patients with type II diabetes mellitus ( T2 DM). Methods: A total of 38 subjects diagnosed with T2 DM were included in the study. A healthy control group could not be formed in this study. After the subjects' socio-demographic data were obtained, Timed Up & Go ( TUG) Test, functional reach test ( FRT), one-leg standing test with eyes open-closed, and Visual Analogue Scale ( VAS) to measure foot pain intensity were performed. The results were also divided and assessed in three groups according to the ages of the individuals ( 40-54, 55-64, and 65 and over). Results: As a result of statistical analysis, a difference was found in the values obtained from TUG, FRT, and one-leg standing test with eyes open and closed ( p < 0.05). Following the massage, TUG values significantly decreased comparison with those before the massage, whereas the values of FRT and one-leg standing test with eyes open and closed significantly increased compared with those before the massage ( p > 0.05). According to age groups, there were statistical differences ( p < 0.05) between the TUG, one-leg standing test with eyes open and closed test values of the individuals before and after the massage. Conclusions: The results of our study indicated that application of plantar massage to patients with T2 DM caused an improvement in balance, functional mobility, and functional reach values. An increase in body balance and functional mobility may explain the improvement in TUG. Foot massage to be added to rehabilitation exercise programs of DM patients will be important in improving balance and mobility of patients.

    SHORT TERM EFFECTS OF CLASSIC MASSAGE COMPARED TO CONNECTIVE TISSUE MASSAGE ON PRESSURE PAIN THRESHOLD AND MUSCLE RELAXATION RESPONSE IN WOMEN WITH CHRONIC NECK PAIN: A PRELIMINARY STUDY
    (Mosby-Elsevier, 2014) Bakar, Yeşim; Sertel, Meral; Öztürk, Asuman; Yümin, Eylem Tütün; Tatarlı, Necati; Ankaralı, Handan
    Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the short-term effects of classic massage (CM) and connective tissue massage (CTM) on pressure pain threshold and muscle relaxation response in women with chronic neck pain. Methods: Participants included 45 female volunteers (ages between 25 and 45 years) presenting to the Koroglu State Hospital Neurosurgery Polyclinic who had experienced neck pain for 3 to 6 months. The volunteers were randomly assigned to 2 groups (CM or CTM to the thoracic spine and the neck). Each treatment was carried out for 1 session. Outcome measures were obtained before and after treatment, which included pressure pain threshold that was measured with an algometer and muscle relaxation response that was evaluated with electromyography biofeedback (EMG-BF). Results: Pressure pain threshold of the sternocleidomastoid muscle was significantly different for the CM (P < .05) group. The EMG-BF values were significantly different for the CTM group (P < .05). Comparing the results of CM and CTM, EMG-BF averages favored the CTM group (P < .05). Conclusion: For the group of women with chronic neck pain that were included in this study, 1 treatment of CTM demonstrated relaxation responses and 1 treatment of CM demonstrated pain reduction.
