Reliability and validity of the L test in people with multiple sclerosis.

Objectives: Functional mobility is an essential factor affecting the activities of daily living in people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). The L test is a comprehensive assessment tool for functional mobility that incorporates sit-to-stand, transfers and bidirectional turning. The purpose of this study was to determine the psychometric properties of the L test in PwMS.

Molecular characterization and antibiotic resistance of clinical Bacteroides and related genera from a tertiary care center in Türkiye (Turkey).

Objectives: This study was conducted to measure the prevalence of antibiotic resistance, and corresponding resistance genes among Bacteroides and related genera in a tertiary hospital.

Methods: We examined 138 clinical strains of Bacteroides, Phocaeicola and Parabacteroides species isolated between July 2018 and June 2022. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted using agar dilution.

Investigating the acute effect of low and moderate intensity aerobic exercise on whole-body task learning and cognition in young adults.

Recent studies have shown that a single bout of exercise has acute improvements on various forms of memory, including procedural motor learning, through mechanisms such as the plasticity-promoting effect. This study aimed to examine (1) the acute effects of timing and intensity of aerobic exercise on the acquisition and retention of motor learning in healthy adults, (2) the effect of sleep quality of the night before and after acquisition on motor learning, and (3) the acute effects of low and moderate-intensity aerobic exercise on cognitive functions. Seventy-five healthy adults were divided into five groups: Two groups performed low or moderate intensity aerobic exercise before motor practice; two groups performed low or moderate intensity aerobic exercise after motor practice; the control group only did motor practice.

Development, reliability, and validity of the telerehabilitation satisfaction questionnaire in neurological diseases.

Background: Measuring satisfaction with telerehabilitation provides a way to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of both the technology used and the rehabilitation provided. On the other hand, valid and reliable tools are needed to evaluate satisfaction of patients receiving physiotherapy via telerehabilitation.

Aims: The purpose of the current study was to develop Telerehabilitation Satisfaction Questionnaire (TrSQ) and evaluate its validity and reliability.

Effects of modified-constraint induced movement therapy based telerehabilitation on upper extremity motor functions in stroke patients.

Introduction: The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of Modified-Constraint Induced Movement Therapy (m-CIMT) based telerehabilitation on upper extremity motor functions in stroke patients.

Methods: Eighteen stroke patients were included and randomly allocated into two groups. The Tele-CIMT (modified-constraint induced movement therapy-based telerehabilitation) (n = 10) group received m-CIMT based telerehabilitation for 90 min a day, 5 weekdays for 3 weeks at home.
