Item Three Different Points of View in Stroke Rehabilitation: Patient, Caregiver, and Physiotherapist(2015) Demir, Yasemin Parlak; Balci, Nilay Comuk; Unluer, Nezehat Ozgul; Ulug, Naime; Dogru, Esra; Kilinc, Muhammed; Yildirim, Sibel Aksu; Yilmaz, Oznur; 25823910; AAP-4292-2020Background: The similarities or differences of the threesome (physiotherapists, patients, and caregivers) thought about the process of stroke rehabilitation can play a key role in the success of rehabilitation. Objective: The aim of this qualitative study was to investigate the perspectives of the threesome, with regard to the two themes of the study: (1) What are the problems faced by the patients after stroke?; and (2) What does recovery after stroke mean to you? Methods: The qualitative questions and possible answers were prepared by four physiotherapists. The answers were matched to International Classification of Functioning (ICF) components. Seventy patients who were having treatment as in-patient rehabilitation centers, their caregivers, and physiotherapists were invited to the study. After the questions were asked and the possible response choices were presented, subjects were asked to prioritize these response choices. Results: One hundred and fifty-nine subjects, including 53 patients, 53 caregivers, and 53 physiotherapists, were included to the study. When the theme 1 were examined, we found that the patients' first priority was functional abilities (ICF: body function and structure) such as using the hands and feet while the caregivers and physiotherapists prioritized self-care problems (ICF: activity and participation). The most common response to the theme 2 was "being in same health condition before the disease'' (ICF: activity and participation) among the patients and caregivers and "being able to move arm and leg on the affected side'' (body function and structure) among the physiotherapists. Conclusion: As a conclusion, problems faced by the patients, caregivers, and physiotherapists were perceived under the same ICF domain and that caregivers' and physiotherapists' priorities were the same.Item Association between Injury History and Performance of Male Elite Ice Hockey Players(2020) Balci, Nilay Comuk; Akbasli, Oguzhan; Dogan, Ilknur Ezgi; Kara, Ozgun KayaThe aim of this study is to examine the relationship between past injuries and the on-ice and off-ice performance of elite male ice hockey players. This study included participation of 50 elite male ice hockey players (age 23.8 +/- 5.3 years). Off-ice performance was measured by 30m Sprint Test, Broad Jump Test, Push-up Test, Hexagon Agility Test, and Plank Test, while on-ice performance was measured by 30m On-ice Sprint Test and Cornering "S" Turn Agility Test. Examination of the athletes' history of injury included their previous injury site, type, number and mechanism of injuries. In the push-up test, there was a significant difference between the athletes who had left hand and right knee injuries and those who had a dislocation injury (p <0.05). A statistically significant difference was determined between athletes who had a puck injury and who had not according to their performance on the cornering s turn agility test results( p <0.05). A statistically significant difference was also found between athletes who had an overuse injury and who had not according to their performance on the 30m sprint and hexagon agility test results(p <0.05). Lastly, there was a significant correlation between on-ice tests and off-ice broad jump, push-up and plank tests (r=-0.310-0.540; p<0.05).This study demonstrates that the push-up test could be the most effective test for determining level of performance after an athlete has suffered an injury. Furthermore, on-ice test results were shown to have a correlation with off-ice plank test results, which could bean indicator of an athlete's core muscle strength following an injury.Item Acute effect of scapular proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) techniques and classic exercises in adhesive capsulitis: a randomized controlled trial(2016) Balci, Nilay Comuk; Yuruk, Zeliha Ozlem; Zeybek, Aslican; Gulsen, Mustafa; Tekindal, Mustafa Agah; 27190456[Purpose] The aim of our study was to compare the initial effects of scapular proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques and classic exercise interventions with physiotherapy modalities on pain, scapular dyskinesis, range of motion, and function in adhesive capsulitis. [Subjects and Methods] Fifty-three subjects were allocated to 3 groups: scapular proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation exercies and physiotherapy modalities, classic exercise and physiotherapy modalities, and only physiotherapy modalities. The intervention was applied in a single session. The Visual Analog Scale, Lateral Scapular Slide Test, range of motion and Simple Shoulder Test were evaluated before and just after the one-hour intervention in the same session (all in one session). [Results] All of the groups showed significant differences in shoulder flexion and abduction range of motion and Simple Shoulder Test scores. There were statistically significant differences in Visual Analog Scale scores in the proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation and control groups, and no treatment method had significant effect on the Lateral Scapular Slide Test results. There were no statistically significant differences between the groups before and after the intervention. [Conclusion] Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, classic exercise, and physiotherapy modalities had immediate effects on adhesive capsulitis in our study. However, there was no additional benefit of exercises in one session over physiotherapy modalities. Also, an effective treatment regimen for shoulder rehabilitation of adhesive capsulitis patients should include scapular exercises.
