    Acute Effects Of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization Technique On Pain And Joint Position Error In Individuals With Chronic Neck Pain: A Double-Blind, Randomized Controlled Trial
    (2023) Gercek, Hasan; Unuvar, Bayram Sonmez; Yemisci, Oya Umit; Aytar, Aydan; 36538383
    Purpose/AimThe aim of this study was to determine the acute effects of IASTM on cervical joint position error and pain in individuals with chronic neck pain.MethodsA total of 39 individuals with chronic neck pain were included in this study. Participants were randomized into three groups: Instrument-assisted soft-tissue mobilization(IASTM (n = 13), sham (n = 13), and control (n = 13). In the IASTM group, intervention was applied to the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles with an application time of 45 s and a frequency of 60 beats/min. In the sham group, IASTM was applied at a 90 degrees angle without pressure. The control group did not receive any intervention. The pain severity and joint position error(JPE) were evaluated before and after the intervention, by using the visual analogue scale and a cervical range of motion device.ResultsThe effects of time and treatment group on visual analogue scale(VAS) score were statistically significant (p = .001). Instrument-assisted soft-tissue mobilization was more effective in VAS score than sham and control group (p < .001). Significant improvement was found in JPE in all range of motions of the cervical region in the instrument-assisted soft-tissue mobilization group (p < .05). In the sham group, significant improvements were observed in cervical extension, left rotation, and left lateral flexion movements in JPE during each cervical spine active movement (p < .05). Instrument-assisted soft-tissue mobilization group was more effective in JPE all directions than sham and control group.ConclusionsInstrument-assisted soft-tissue mobilization may be a useful technique in individuals with chronic neck pain. Instrument-assisted soft-tissue mobilization decreases VAS and improves JPE.

    Computer Game Assisted Task Specific Exercises in the Treatment of Motor and Cognitive Function and Quality of Life in Stroke: A Randomized Control Study
    (2021) Ozen, Selin; Senlikci, Huma Boluk; Guzel, Sukran; Yemisci, Oya Umit; 0000-0001-6771-3265; 0000-0002-7290-8558; 0000-0001-9852-0917; 34293643; AAX-8965-2021; ABC-1305-2020; AAG-3148-2021
    Objectives: Computer game assisted task specific exercises (CGATSE) are rehabilitation gaming systems (RGS) used in stroke rehabilitation to facilitate patient performance of high intensity, task based, repetitive exercises aiming to enhance neuroplasticity. CGATSE maybe an appealing option in home based rehabilitation of stroke patients, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to determine the effects of CGATSE on hemiplegic arm-hand function, cognitive function and quality of life in stroke. Materials and methods: Thirty stroke patients were randomized into two groups. All participants received twenty sessions of physical therapy. In addition, the therapy group undertook thirty minutes of CGATSE using the Rejoyce gaming system; while the control group undertook thirty minutes of occupational therapy (OT). Motor function was evaluated before and after treatment using the Fugl Meyer upper extremity (FMUE), Brunnstrom stages of stroke recovery (BSSR) arm and hand. The CGATSE group also completed the Rejoyce arm hand function test (RAHFT). Cognitive function was evaluated using the mini mental state examination, Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and Stroke Specific Quality of Life (SS-QOL) scale. Results: The FMUE, BSSR arm and SSQOL improved in both groups (p < 0.05). BSSR of the hand improved only in the CGATSE group (p = 0.024). RAHFT scores improved in the CGATSE group (p = 0.008). MoCA scores significantly improved in the control group (p = 0.008). Conclusions: CGATSE may be beneficial in providing continuation of care after stroke, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic when home based rehabilitation options are becoming increasingly important. Benefits of CGATSE in improving cognitive function is less clear. RGS aimed at improving motor function may be compared to gaming systems designed to target cognitive development and more detailed higher cortical function deficit tests can be used as outcome measures.

    Does the presence of ideomotor apraxia in stroke patients adversely affect rehabilitation outcomes? A prospective study
    (2020) Cosar, Sacide Nur Saracgil; Ozen, Selin; Selcuk, Selin Taflan; Yemisci, Oya Umit; 0000-0001-8306-463X; AAF-1085-2021
    Background and Objectives: Ideomotor apraxia is an inability to perform a gesture following a verbal command despite having intact knowledge of the task. The presence of ideomotor apraxia may negatively affect functional outcome of stroke patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ideomotor apraxia on rehabilitation outcomes following first ever stroke. Methods: A cross sectional observational study of 35 stroke patients admitted to a rehabilitation unit for treatment. Patients were evaluated for ideomotor apraxia using the ideomotor apraxia test. Function was assessed before and after treatment using the Functional Independence Measure, motricity index and functional ambulation scale. Cognitive function was evaluated using the Functional Independence Measure and mini mental state examination. Results: Ideomotor apraxia was present in 31.4% of patients. Mean Functional Independence Measure motor and cognitive scores of apraxic patients on admission and at discharge were lower than those of non-apraxic patients, (p<0.05). The cognitive and total Functional Independence Measure scores and motricity scores in the ideomotor apraxia group on discharge had not reached the admission values of the non-ideomotor apraxia group. Conclusion: The presence of ideomotor apraxia following stroke has a negative impact on overall function, both before and after rehabilitation, when compared to stroke patients without ideomotor apraxia. Stroke patients must be assessed for ideomotor apraxia prior to commencement of a rehabilitation program in order to guide treatment and determine realistic treatment goals.
