    Comparison of Physiotherapy Approaches in Low Back Pain: A Randomized Controlled Trial
    (2021) Senbursa, Gamze; Pekyavas, Nihan Ozunlu; Baltaci, Gul; 0000-0003-0603-5688; 32438535
    Background: The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of rehabilitation approaches in individuals with low back pain (LBP) on pain, spinal mobility, disability, and muscular strength. Methods: Ninety volunteers were included and divided into four groups depending on the rehabilitation approach: group 1, soft tissue mobilization techniques and stabilization exercises (n=24; 11 females [F], 13 males [M]); group 2, Kinesio Taping and stabilization exercises (n=24; 12F, 12M); group 3, stabilization exercises (n=22; 11F, 11M); and group 4, reflex therapy and stabilization exercises (n=20; 10F, 10M). Visual Analog Scale for pain intensity, an isokinetic evaluation for strength at 60 degrees/s and a side-plank position test for trunk stabilization were measured before and assessed at the beginning, after a 4-week treatment and during 4 weeks of follow-up. The functional status was evaluated with the Oswestry Disability Index. Results: Individuals in all groups showed similar decrease in pain after the treatment and at 1-month follow-up, but there were no significant differences in pain levels between the groups (P<0.05). Conclusion: All therapeutic approaches were found to be effective in diminishing pain and thus helpful in increasing strength and stabilization in patients with LBP.

    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-4826-2020
    Objectives: 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.
