Pulmonary rehabilitation in connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease: A systematic review.

Background And Aim:  Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is the major contributor to mortality in between chronic lung diseases. ILD originates from voluminous pathophysiological factors. One of the reasons is connective tissue diseases (CTD).

The effects of exercise-based prehabilitation in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting surgery: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials.

Background: Postoperative exercise-based rehabilitation improves the physical performance and health-related outcomes of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). However, the effectiveness of exercise-based prehabilitation in patients undergoing CABG remains unknown.

Objective: The purpose of this systematic review was to investigate the effects of exercise-based prehabilitation on functional exercise capacity, postoperative complications, anxiety, depression, self-efficacy, quality of life, length of hospital and intensive care unit stay, frailty, and endothelial function in patients undergoing CABG surgery.

The effect of single-limb exercises on functional exercise capacity, pulmonary function and dyspnea in patients with COPD.

Background: Aeorobic exercise is an essential component of the pulmonary rehabilitation program for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Single-limb exercises are a type of aeorobic exercise that aims to increase patient tolerance by reducing the workload of the respiratory system.

Objektives: The aim of our systematic review was to determine the effects of single-limb exercises on pulmonary function, dyspnea, fatigue, and muscle dysfunction in patients with COPD.

Investigation of Joint Position Sense and Balance in Individuals With Chronic Idiopathic Neck Pain: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between joint position sense and static and dynamic balance in female patients with chronic neck pain compared with healthy controls.

Methods: The study sample comprised 25 female patients with chronic neck pain and 25 healthy (asymptomatic) female controls. Pain severity with the visual analog scale, joint position sense with the laser pointer method, static balance with the Single-Leg Balance Test, and dynamic balance with the Y Balance Test were assessed.

Education level is a strong determinant of cognitive function as measured by MoCA in people with chronic low back pain.

Background: Over recent years there has been increasing clinical interest in the relationship between chronic pain and cognitive function. There are very few studies on individuals with low back pain (LBP) in the literature, which has remained under-researched.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate cognitive function in individuals with chronic back pain and investigate the effects of different variables on cognition.

Determination of cognitive status and influencing variables in patients with chronic neck pain: A cross-sectional study.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate cognitive function in individuals with chronic neck pain (CNP) and investigate the effects of different variables on cognition.

Methods: The sociodemographic characteristics of the individuals who participated in this study were recorded. Pain intensity of the individuals was evaluated using the Visual Analog Scale, pain-related disability was evaluated with the Neck Disability Index and cognitive function was evaluated using Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA).

Limited Association between the Total Healthy Eating Index-2015 Score and Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Individuals with Long-Standing Spinal Cord Injury: An Exploratory Study: An Exploratory Study.

Background: The healthy eating index-2015 (HEI-2015) reflects diet quality in reference to the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA). Little is known regarding its application in individuals with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI).

Objective: To explore the relationship between diet quality as assessed by the HEI-2015 and cardiovascular risk factors among individuals with chronic SCI.

Evaluation of a ketogenic diet for improvement of neurological recovery in individuals with acute spinal cord injury: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Therapies that significantly improve the neurological and functional recovery of individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) are still urgently needed. The ketogenic diet (KD) has been shown to improve forelimb motor function in an SCI rat model, likely by reducing inflammation and cell death in the spinal cord. Furthermore, our recent pilot study in patients with SCI showed that, compared with a standard hospital diet (SD), 5 weeks of KD started during acute care improved upper extremity motor function and reduced serum levels of a neuroinflammatory blood protein.

Body awareness and chronic low back pain: validity and reliability study of Turkish version of body awareness rating scale.

Background/aim: Previous studies reported that patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) had trouble describing senses or body functions. A questionnaire, the body awareness rating questionnaire (BARQ), was recently developed for assessing body awareness. The aim of the study was to develop a Turkish version of the BARQ and investigate the validity and reliability in patients with CLBP.

Effectiveness of physiotherapy and minimal invasive technics on functional status and quality of life in geriatric patients with low back pain.

The aim of the study was to determine the effect of physiotherapy and minimal invasive technics (MIT) on pain, quality of life and functional disability in geriatric patients with chronic low back pain. According to previous files, 61 geriatric patients who received MIT and physiotherapy allocated to group 1, the patient who received physiotherapy alone allocated to group 2. All patients received soft tissue mobilizations, muscle-energy technics and spinal stabilization exercises.

The effect of minimal invasive techniques and physiotherapy on pain and disability in elderly: A retrospective study.

Background: Low back pain is one of the major musculoskeletal problems seen in elderly, and it's the fifth common cause for hospitalization.

Objective: This retrospective study has determined whether minimal invasive techniques or physiotherapy methods are effective for decreasing pain and improving functions in the geriatric population.

Methods: A retrospective design was used in this study.

The effect of manual therapy and exercise in patients with chronic low back pain: Double blind randomized controlled trial.

Background And Objectives: To determine the effects of spinal stabilization exercises (SSE) and manual therapy methods on pain, function and quality of life (QoL) levels in individuals with chronic low back pain (CLBP).

Methods: A total of one-hundred thirteen patients diagnosed as CLBP were enrolled to the study. The patients allocated into Spinal Stabilization group (SG) and manual therapy group (MG), randomly.

Regression of lumbar disc herniation by physiotherapy. Does non-surgical spinal decompression therapy make a difference? Double-blind randomized controlled trial.

Background And Objectives: The aim of the study determining whether or not Non-invasive Spinal Decompression Therapy (NSDT) was effective in resorption of herniation, increasing disc height in patients with lumbar disc herniation (LHNP).

Methods: A total of twenty patients diagnosed as LHNP and suffering from pain at least 8 weeks were enrolled to the study. Patients were allocated in study (SG) and control groups (CG) randomly.
