Predictors of Functional Independence in Children with Spinal Cord Tumors After Surgery: From Physiotherapist Perspective.

Knowledge of the factors affecting functional outcomes has an important role in the development of the care plan in children with spinal cord tumors. Retrospective study was planned to determine predictors of functional independence in children with spinal cord tumors. Data from 80 children treated for spinal cord tumors over 2001-2020-year period was analyzed.

The validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Fear of Pain Questionnaire for Children-Short Form (FOPQC-SF) in children and adolescents with juvenile idiopathic arthritis.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Fear of Pain Questionnaire for Children-Short Form (FOPQC-SF) in children/adolescents with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).

Methods: To evaluate validity of FOPQC-SF, 70 children/adolescents with JIA were included. Data were collected using Pediatric Quality Of Life Inventory 3.

Preschool Children's Loose Parts Play and the Relationship to Cognitive Development: A Review of the Literature.

Play is an integrative process, and the skills acquired in it-overcoming impulses, behavior control, exploration and discovery, problem-solving, reasoning, drawing conclusions, and attention to processes and outcomes are foundational cognitive structures that drive learning and motivation. Loose parts play is a prominent form of play that many scholars and educators explicitly endorse for cognitive development (e.g.

Evaluation of daily and social participation of children with Cerebral Palsy across different age groups with a focus on the 'F'-words: Function, family, fitness, fun, friends and future.

Background: The impact of disability differs across cultures. This study aimed to determine the predictors of participation in children with cerebral palsy (CP) in Turkey, based on the six F-words.

Methods: Cross-sectional study exploring participation profiles of 450 children with CP, aged between 2 and 18 years.

The effects of fatigue, gross motor function, and gender on participation in life situations of school-aged children with cerebral palsy: A parental perspective.

Objective: To investigate the effects of fatigue, gross motor function, and gender on participation in life situations of school-aged children with cerebral palsy (CP) from a parental perspective.

Methods: The study included 209 children with CP aged between 5 and 13 years (mean age, 8.06 ± 2.

Clinical evaluation of muscle functions in neurofibromatosis type 1.

Aim: Muscle weakness, fatigue and speech problems can occur in neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). The pathogenesis of these symptoms is unclear, likely multifactorial. We examined motor function in limb and speech muscles in NF1 patients.

Relationship among four functional classification systems and parent interpredicted intelligence level in children with different clinical types of cerebral palsy.

Objective: To investigate the relationships between four functional classification systems in children with cerebral palsy (CP) and parent-interpredicted intelligence level, and the functional status in clinical types of CP.

Methods: Two hundred and twenty-five children with CP ages between 2 and 18 (mean age 6.5 ± 4.

Construct-concurrent validity and reliability of the European Child Environment Questionnaire (ECEQ) in a sample of Turkish children with cerebral palsy.

Purpose: To investigate the construct-concurrent validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the European Child Environment Questionnaire (ECEQ-T) in children with cerebral palsy (CP).

Methods: Mean age 9.53 ± 4.

Effects of different nose types on class II treatments for female patients.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different nose types on the perception of facial aesthetics following camouflage treatment and orthognathic surgery for skeletal class II female patients.

Methods: A pre-treatment profile photograph of a skeletal class II adult patient was selected from the department archive. Two constructed photographs were created to represent orthognathic surgery and camouflage treatments with the aid of computer software.

Charting the role of the number line in mathematical development.

Individuals who do well in mathematics and science also often have good spatial skills. However, the predictive direction of links between spatial abilities and mathematical learning has not been firmly established, especially for young children. In the present research, we addressed this issue using a sample from a longitudinal data set that spanned 4 years and which includes measures of mathematical performance and various cognitive skills, including spatial ability.

Does proclination of maxillary incisors really affect the sagittal position of point A?

Objective: To examine the effect of maxillary incisor proclination due to orthodontic treatment upon the sagittal position of point A and evaluate the effect of this possible movement of point A on sella-nasion-point A (SNA) angle.

Materials And Methods: A study group was formed from 25 subjects (12 male and 13 female) who had Class II division 2 malocclusion with retroclined upper incisors, and a control group was formed from 25 subjects (12 male and 13 female) who had minor crowding in the beginning of the treatment and required no or minimal maxillary anterior tooth movement. Treatment changes in maxillary incisor inclination, sagittal position of point A, SNA angle, and movement of incisor root apex and incisal edge were calculated on pretreatment and posttreatment lateral cephalographs.
