Investigation of the Effectiveness of a Biopsychosocial-Based Exercise Approach in Rheumatic Diseases: A Mixed Methods Research With Patients' Perspectives.

Aims And Objectives: To investigate the effectiveness and acceptability, and thus practicability of a biopsychosocial-based exercise model in rheumatic diseases by a mixed method.

Method: This study is within the framework of mixed-method research that combines the strengths of quantitative and qualitative research methodologies. For the quantitative part of the study, 81 patients were divided into two groups Bilişsel Egzersiz Terapi Yaklaşımı (BETY)- (Cognitive Exercise Therapy Approach in English) exercise group (BETY Group-BG) and control group (CG).

Comparison of Biopsychosocial Characteristics of Children with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis According to Common Disease Subtypes.

Objective: In this study, we assessed the functional and biopsychosocial characteristics of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) patients according to disease subtypes.

Materials And Methods: Child Health Assessment Questionnaire (CHAQ), Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score-71 (JADAS-71), and Juvenile Arthritis Biopsychosocial Questionnaire (JAB-Q) scales were administered to 304 JIA patients, and the subscale of JAB-Q was administered to their families.

Results: The median age of JIA patients at diagnosis was 7.

Countermovement push-up test to assess the upper extremity force-time characteristics in swimmers during a macrocycle.

Although it is known that swimming training can improve upper extremity performance, the force-time characteristics of the upper extremity during different training periods are not well understood. The objective of this study was to measure changes in the force-time characteristics of the upper extremity of young swimmers during different training periods within a season. Seventeen young swimmers, comprising 5 males (age: 15.

Shoulder structures and strength in competitive preadolescent swimmers: A longitudinal ultrasonographic study.

Background: Repetitive shoulder movements during competitive training may cause changes in the strength of periarticular shoulder structures in preadolescent swimmers.

Objective: To prospectively determine the effects of training on shoulder periarticular structures and muscle strength in preadolescent swimmers.

Design: Prospective cohort study.

A Modified Version of the Forgotten Joint Score-12 in Lower Limb Amputees: Validity and Reliability Study.

Adaptation to prosthesis is important for occupation, quality of life, and participation in social life, so it needs to be evaluated. The aim of this study was to determine the validity and reliability of the Forgotten Joint Score-12 (FJS-12) in lower limb amputees. The FJS-12 was applied to 80 amputees.

A new biopsychosocial and clinical questionnaire to assess juvenile idiopathic arthritis: JAB-Q.

Objective: To create a new multidimensional questionnaire for the assessment of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) patients in standard clinical practice and study the validity and reliability of this questionnaire.

Methods: The Juvenile Arthritis Biopsychosocial and Clinical Questionnaire (JAB-Q) was created using the Delphi technique and consensus conference following an initial literature search. The questionnaire has three parts including a clinician form, child form and parent form.
