    A Comparison Between People With and Without Subacromial Impingement Syndrome and a New Method for Measuring Thoracolumbar Fascia Flexibility
    (2021) Sarioglu, Kubra; Pekyavas, Nihan Ozunlu; 0000-0003-0603-5688; 34025300
    Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the flexibility of the thoracolumbar fascia (TLF) in individuals with and without subacromial impingement syndrome (SAIS). A secondary purpose was to demonstrate a new method for measuring TLF flexibility. Methods: A total of 60 participants-30 diagnosed with SAIS and 30 asymptomatic-were included. In both groups, trunk flexibility was assessed by the modified Schober test, TLF flexibility by rotational measurement on a goniometric platform, and shoulder posterior capsule tightness by tape measurement. The data obtained were compared using t tests for independent variables. Results: No statistically significant difference was observed for any parameter between participants with SAIS and healthy controls (P>.05). Conclusion: For the participants we studied, the flexibility of the TLF was not associated with SAIS. The goniometric evaluation method used in this study was affordable and feasible. The validity and reliability of this measurement method should be assessed further in future studies.

    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.

    Comparison of virtual reality exergaming and home exercise programs in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome and scapular dyskinesis: Short term effect
    (2017) Pekyavas, Nihan Ozunlu; Ergun, Nevin; 28446376; AAC-6522-2020
    Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the short term effects of home exercise program and virtual reality exergaming in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome (SAIS). Methods: A total of 30 patients with SAIS were randomized into two groups which are Home Exercise Program (EX Group) (mean age: 40.6 +/- 11.7 years) and Virtual Reality Exergaming Program (WII Group) (mean age: 40.33 +/- 13.2 years). Subjects were assessed at the first session, at the end of the treatment (6 weeks) and at 1 month follow-up. The groups were assessed and compared with Visual Analogue Scale (based on rest, activity and night pain), Neer and Hawkins Tests, Scapular Retraction Test (SRT), Scapular Assistance Test (SAT), Lateral Scapular Slide Test (LSST) and shoulder disability (Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI)). Results: Intensity of pain was significantly decreased in both groups with the treatment (p < 0.05). The WII Group had significantly better results for all Neer test, SRT and SAT than the EX Group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Virtual reality exergaming programs with these programs were found more effective than home exercise programs at short term in subjects with SAIS .
