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 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 Hot and cold knees: exploring differences in patella skin temperature in patients with patellofemoral pain(2020) Janssen, Jessie; Selfe, James; Gichuru, Phillip; Richards, Jim; Yosmaoglu, Hayri Baran; Sonmezer, Emel; Erande, Renuka; Resteghini, Peter; Dey, Paola; 32711228Objectives To investigate the distribution of patella skin temperature (Tsk) measurements and to explore the presence of temperature subgroups in patellofemoral pain (PFP) patients. Design Cross-sectional observational study design. Participants One dataset of 58 healthy participants and 232 PFP patients from three different datasets. Main outcome measures Patella skin temperature, measured by physiotherapists using a low cost hand held digital thermometer. The distribution of patella skin temperature was assessed and compared across datasets. To objectively determine the clinically meaningful number of subgroups, we used the average silhouette method. Finite mixture models were then used to examine the presence of PFP temperature subgroups. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to estimate optimal patella Tsk thresholds for allocation of participants into the identified subgroups. Results In contrast to healthy participants, the patella skin temperature had an obvious bimodal distribution with wide dispersion present across all three PFP datasets. The fitted finite mixture model suggested three temperature subgroups (cold, normal and hot) that had been recommended by the average silhouette method with discrimination cut-off thresholds for subgroup membership based on receiver operating curve analysis of Cold = <30.0 degrees C; Normal 30.0-35.2 degrees C; Hot >= 35.2 degrees C. Conclusion A low cost hand held digital thermometer appears to be a useful clinical tool to identify three PFP temperature subgroups. Further research is recommended to deepen understanding of these clinical findings and to explore the implications to different treatments. (C) 2020 Chartered Society of Physiotherapy.

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 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.
