Item Do peak torque angles of muscles change following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using hamstring or patellar tendon graft?(2017) Baltaci, Gul; Sonmezer, Emel; Ozer, Hamza; Dogan, Deha; Yosmaoglu, Hayri Baran; 0000-0001-7356-8500; 29125817; AAA-4826-2020Objectives: This study aims to compare the effects of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using autogenous hamstring or patellar tendon graft on the peak torque angle. Patients and methods: The study included 132 patients (103 males, 29 females; mean age 29 +/- 9 year) who were performed ACL reconstruction with autogenous hamstring or patellar tendon graft. The peak torque angles in the quadriceps and hamstring muscles were recorded using an isokinetic dynamometer. Results: Angle of peak knee flexion torque occurred significantly earlier within the range of motion on the operated side than nonoperated side at 180 degrees/second in the hamstring tendon group. Angle of peak knee extension torque occurred significantly earlier within the range of motion on the operated side than nonoperated side at 180 degrees/second in the patellar tendon group. There were no statistically significant differences in the flexion and extension peak torque angles between the operated and nonoperated knees at 60 degrees/second in both groups. Conclusion: The angle of peak torque at relatively high angular velocities is affected after ACL reconstruction in patients with hamstring or patellar tendon grafts. The graft donor site directly influences this parameter. This finding may be important for clinicians in terms of preventing re-injury.Item The effects of clinical pilates exercises on functional disability, pain, quality of life and lumbopelvic stabilization in pregnant women with low back pain: A randomized controlled study(2021) Sonmezer, Emel; Ozkosl, Manolya Acar; Yosmaoglu, Hayri Baran; 0000-0001-7356-8500; 32986655BACKGROUND: Although the Pilates method has been reported to be effective in women with low back pain (LBP), the efficacy of Pilates exercises in pregnant women with LBP has not been evaluated widely. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of clinical Pilates exercises on lumbopelvic stabilization, pain, disability and quality of life in pregnant women with LBP. METHODS: Fourty pregnant women were randomized into either a Pilates exercise group (n = 20) or control group (n = 20). Subjects in the Pilates exercise group performed the exercises two times a week for eight weeks. Subjects in the control group followed regular prenatal care. Lumbopelvic stabilization was assessed with a pressure biofeedback unit, pain with the Visual Analog Scale, disability with the Oswestry Low Back Pain Questionnaire and quality of life with the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP). RESULTS: Pain and disability were significantly improved in the Pilates exercise group after intervention (p = 0.03, p < 0.001, respectively). There were also significant improvements in sleep, physical mobility sub-parameters of NHP and lumbopelvic stabilization after Pilates exercises (p = 0.048, p = 0.007, respectively). However, there were no statistically significant changes in all outcome measures in the control group (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Pilates exercises can be recommended as an effective and safe method for increasing lumbopelvic stabilization, reducing pain and disability, improving physical mobility and sleep problems in pregnant women with LBP.Item Evaluation of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Knowledge Levels of Physiotherapists in Turkey(2023) Kilic, Rabia Tugba; Mese Buranse, Melike; Yosmaoglu, Hayri Baran; 0000-0001-7356-8500; IVH-4699-2023Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge level of physiotherapists working in Turkey about Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR).Methods: It is a cross-sectional study conducted between August and October 2021. Data were collected by sending an online questionnaire form to a total of 275 physiotherapists, 164 (59.63%) male and 111 (40.37%) female, who agreed to participate in the study. In order to evaluate the level of CPR knowledge, the questionnaire prepared by taking the 2010 American Heart Association-European Resuscitation Council CPR guideline as a guide, consists of 26 questions and is self-administered.In the first part of the questionnaire, 5 questions containing personal information (age, gender, institution of employment, duration of employment, etc.); in the second part, there are 12 questions on the perception of CPR training and its value, and in the third part, 10 questions aiming to measure the current knowledge level about CPR. In the CPR knowledge score, 0-5 points range was evaluated as low, 6-10 point range was evaluated as high.Results: The most work setting was the hospital (41.50%) and the main scope of work was the musculoskeletal system (37.80%). While the rate of those who encountered a CA case anywhere was 28.40%, this rate was 20.70% in the work setting. Most of the participants (67.30%) had received CPR training. While 59.50% of those who received training found the training incompetent in CPR practice, 71.90% found themselves. CPR certificate was not related to field of study, age, gender and years of experience (p > 0.005). The rate of CPR certification among those working at the hospital was higher than those working at the university(p=0.014). The mean theoretical CPR knowledge score was 5 +/- 0.12, which showed that CPR knowledge levels were low.CPR knowledge score; It was higher in those who received CPR training than those who did not, and those who considered themselves competent in CPR practice compared to those who did not see it as sufficient (p=0.001).Conclusion: Our results showed that the majority of physiotherapists have CPR certification, but the majority of those with CPR certification have insufficient knowledge of CPR and feel incompotent in this regard.Future research that wishes to better evaluate the practice of CPR should evaluate physical therapists' actual CPR competence with hands-on methods rather than a theoretical assessment.Item The reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Oxford Elbow Score(2016) Yosmaoglu, Hayri Baran; Doga, Deha; Sonmezler, Emel; 0000-0001-7356-8500; 27586810; AAA-4826-2020Background: Objective measures of outcome ensure reliable decisions with regard to treatment planning. Oxford Elbow Score (OES) is one of the common outcome measures used for assessing quality of life of patients with elbow disorders. OES consists of three domains: pain, elbow function and social/psychological. The aim of this study is to test the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the OES. Methods: The study's sample includes 82 patients with elbow problems. The original version of the OES was translated into Turkish using the Isis Outcomes Translation and Linguistic Validation Process. The construct validity of the Turkish version of the OES was tested using a confirmatory factor analysis. For internal consistency, Cronbach's alpha was calculated. A Pearson correlation and a dependent sample t test were utilised for reproducibility of the OES. For convergent validity, the correlation coefficients were calculated between the domains of the OES and Short Form 36 (SF36). An independent sample t test was calculated to determine if there was a significant difference between the scores of the participants from the upper and lower groups. Results: Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) indicates that the three-factor structure of the OES was confirmed. Most of the fit indices are at the expected level, except for a root mean square error of approximation and an adjusted goodness of fit index. Cronbach's alpha was calculated as 0.91 for the whole scale. The results showed that there are positive and high correlations between the first and follow-up assessments (r = 0.89, p < 0.0001). The Turkish OES version and its dimensions have moderate and significant correlations with domains of SF36 in general. The test results indicated that the mean of each item on three domains of the OES was higher for the upper 27 %, and this difference was significant at the 0.01 level. Conclusions: The Turkish version of the OES is a reliable, valid, reproducible and practical tool. It can be used for patients with elbow disorders and is recommended for clinician use.Item The reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the oxford shoulder instability score(2020) Sonmezer, Emel; Yosmaoglu, Hayri Baran; Dogan, Celal Deha; 0000-0001-7356-8500; 30326748Background: The aim of this study was to adapt the Oxford Shoulder Instability Score to Turkish culture and test its reliability and validity. Methods: This study included 118 patients with shoulder instability. Confirmatory factor analyses, and correlation coefficient between Oxford Shoulder Instability Score and Short Form 36 were calculated in order to test construct validity. Internal consistency was tested using Cronbach's alpha. Pearson correlation were calculated to test reliability. Differential item functioning analysis was performed to detect whether items exhibited differences according to gender. Results: Confirmatory factor analysis indicating the single structure of the Oxford Shoulder Instability Score was confirmed. Cronbach's alpha was calculated as 0.87 for the whole scale. There were positive and strong correlations between the first and follow-up assessments (r = 0.86, p < 0.01). The Turkish version of OSIS showed moderate and significant correlations with domains of the SF-36 in general. Results also showed that there was no item exhibiting differential item functioning analysis in the Turkish version of Oxford Shoulder Instability Score. Conclusion: The Turkish version of the Oxford Shoulder Instability Score is a reliable, valid, reproducible and practical tool. It can be used for patients with shoulder disorders and is recommended for clinical use.Item Validity and Reliability of Turkish Transcultural Adaptation of the Prosthetic Limb Users Survey of Mobility(2023) Yosmaoglu, Sevgin; Yazicioglu, Gul; Demir, Yasin; Aydemir, Koray; Yosmaoglu, Hayri Baran; 0000-0001-7356-8500; 36037291; IVH-4699-2023Background: Amputee-specific, self-assessment mobility scales are essential to evaluate mobility in lower-limb amputees.Objectives: To evaluate the validity and reliability of a Turkish translation and adaptation of the Prosthetic Limb Users Survey of Mobility. Study design: This is a validation study. Methods: Turkish translation of the Prosthetic Limb Users Survey of Mobility (PLUS-M-T) from its original was performed following the rules of intercultural adaptation and translation methods. The PLUS-M-T and its 12-item short form were applied to '100 induviduals with limb loss twice in 3-day intervals. The structural validity analysis was determined by calculating the correlation with the Amputee Mobility Scale, which is a valid, reliable scale for assessing the functional level in amputees. The Cronbach alpha coefficient was calculated to analyze the internal consistency. The interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Spearman correlation coefficient (r) were calculated, and the test-retest reliability was determined. Results: A positive, high correlation was found between the first application and its repetition of both PLUS-M-T (ICC = 0.85, r = 0.94, P < 0.001) and 12-item short form (ICC = 0.92, r = 0.93, P < 0.001). The internal consistency was high for both PLUS-M-T (Cronbach alpha = 0.94) and 12-item short form (Cronbach alpha = 0.91). A positive, high correlation was found between the scores obtained from the Amputee Mobility Scale and PLUS-M-T (r = 0.84, P < 0.001) and 12 question short form (r = 0.77, P < 0.001). Conclusion: Turkish translation of the PLUS-M questionnaire is a valid and reliable scale for assessing the mobility of individuals who have undergone lower-extremity amputation using a prosthesis.
