Item The Effects Of Exercise And Lifestyle Modification On Pain And Function In Mobıie Phone Users: A Randomized Controlled Study(2021) Pekyavas, Nihan Ozunlu; Saygili, Fettah; Yuruk, Zeliha Ozlem; Sahin, Fatma Nese; AAX-5562-2021Introduction: Repetitive head flexion is one of the most important risk factors causing neck pain associated to mobile phone use. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of exercise and lifestyle modifications on pain and neck function in mobile phone users with neck pain. Materials and methods: Eighty-five sedentary participants using smartphones for more than 5 hours daily were included in the study. The participants were divided into three groups: exercise (EG n=29), exercise+lifestyle modification (EGL n=28), and control group (CG n=28). The EG received a home exercise treatment program for 4 weeks. The EGL received lifestyle modification suggestions added to the home exercise program. The CG did not receive any treatments. Pain intensity was evaluated during rest and activity with the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and neck function was assessed with the Neck Disability Index at the beginning and at the end of the intervention. Results: There were significant improvements in the EG and EGL for all parameters (p<0.05). However, no significant changes were present in the CG (p>0.05). Post-hoc analysis highlighted a significant difference only in VAS during activity between groups (p<0.05). The lifestyle modification had no added benefit over exercise (p>0.05). Conclusion: Exercise has positive effects on pain and neck function and should be recommended for individuals who frequently use mobile devices.Item 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, NihalObjective: 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.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.
