    The Effects of Exercise Program on Satisfaction Level in Unilateral Above Knee Amputees
    (2015) Anaforoglu, Bahar; Erbahceci, Fatih; Tuzun, Emine Handan; Sonmezer, Emel
    Purpose: To investigate the effects of exercise program performed under the supervision of a physiotherapist, on prosthetic satisfaction level in unilateral above knee amputees. Methods: 19 unilateral above knee amputees, with the mean age of 39.3+/-12.8 years were enrolled in this study. The sociodemographic and clinical characteristics and properties of the prostheses of the participants were recorded. All cases attended to a 10 session exercise program. They continued the exercises after the program finished. The satisfaction level of the patients concerning comfort, appearance weight of the prosthesis and walking with prosthesis were assessed by Visual Analog Scale (VAS) before and 2 months after the treatment. Results: When compared pre and post-treatment results, comfort of the prosthesis (p=0.048), satisfaction with the appearence of prosthesis (p=0.01), and walking ability (p=0.033) were statistically different. Discussion: In the present study, it is demonstrated that the exercise program affected prosthetic satisfaction levels positively in unilateral above knee amputees.

    Effects of two different aquatic exercise trainings on cardiopulmonary endurance and emotional status in patients with knee osteoarthritis
    (2019) Sahin, Hulya Guvenir; Kunduracilar, Zuhal; Sonmezler, Emel; Ayas, Sehri; 30584113
    BACKGROUND: Aquatic exercises are often recommended for people with osteoarthritis (OA), however, there is a lack of evidence about the effects of these exercises. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of two different aquatic exercise trainings on cardiopulmonary endurance and emotional status in patients with knee osteoarthritis. METHODS: Eighty-nine patients who had been diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis were divided into three groups as two different aquatic exercise training groups (only lower extremity training vs lower extremity + upper extremity and trunk exercises) or the control group. All groups have received the conventional therapy which consisted of hotpack, ultrasound, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), and home exercises. Six-minute walk test (6MWT) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD) were used for assessing cardiopulmonary endurance and emotional status, respectively. RESULTS: Following the treatment, all groups improved in terms of systolic blood pressure, walking distance and total HAD scores. Group 1 showed additional improvements in diastolic blood pressure, heart rate and perceived exertion, while Group 2 showed additional improvements only in perceived exertion. Greater changes before and after the treatment in diastolic blood pressure at rest and following 6MWT, perceived exertion following 6MWT, walking distance, HAD depression scores and HAD anxiety scores were observed in Group 1. CONCLUSIONS: Exercise therapy consisting of only lower extremity exercises in water might be more effective in improving exercise capacity and depression levels in comparison to upper extremity and trunk added exercises or conventional physical therapy.

    Effects of Radial Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy on Pain, Grip Strength, and Functionality in Patients with Lateral Epicondylitis: A Randomized Controlled Study
    (2016) Yuruk, Zeliha Ozlem; Kirdi, Nuray; Simsek, Nihal
    Objective: In this study, the effects of radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (RESWT) on pain, grip strength, and functionality were investigated in patients with lateral epicondylitis. Methods: The study included 30 patients who were divided into two groups: RESWT and exercise and placebo RESWT and exercise. In the RESWT and exercise group, RESWT was applied at 2000 pulses, once a week, for a total of three sessions, and in the placebo RESWT and exercise group, RESWT was applied at 20 pulses, once a week, for a total of three sessions. Patients in all groups underwent stretching and eccentric strengthening exercises. Patients were evaluated before and after undergoing the treatment and at 6 and 12 weeks after undergoing the treatment using a visual analog scale (VAS) for pain intensity during palpation and gripping, dynamometer for grip strength, and patient-rated tennis elbow evaluation (PRTEE) for functionality. Results: There were statistically significant differences between groups with respect to all parameters, except VAS during palpation (p<0.05). With time, there were more significant changes in VAS during palpation and gripping, grip strength, and PRTEE in the RESWT and exercise group compared with those in the placebo RESWT and exercise group (p<0.05). Conclusion: We concluded that using RESWT combined with other conservative treatments, mostly exercise, could be more effective.
