Effectiveness of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation and myofascial release techniques in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome.

Purpose: To compare the effectiveness of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation and myofascial release technique in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome on pain, range of motion, muscle strength, quality of life, functionality and disability.

Methods: Thirty patients were randomly divided into two groups: proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation group ( = 15) and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation combined with myofascial release technique group ( = 15). Both treatment methods were performed 3 times a week for 4 weeks.

The effects of clinical pilates exercises on functional disability, pain, quality of life and lumbopelvic stabilization in pregnant women with low back pain: A randomized controlled study.

Background: Although the Pilates method has been reported to be effective in women with low back pain (LBP), the efficacy of Pilates exercises in pregnant women with LBP has not been evaluated widely.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of clinical Pilates exercises on lumbopelvic stabilization, pain, disability and quality of life in pregnant women with LBP.

Methods: Fourty pregnant women were randomized into either a Pilates exercise group (n= 20) or control group (n= 20).

Objectives: This study was conducted in order to produce translation, cultural adaptation, and validation of Assessment of Pelvic Floor Disorders and Their Risk Factors During Pregnancy and Postpartum Questionnaire (APFDQ) to Turkish in pregnant and postpartum population.

Material And Methods: The study included 80 pregnant women. Internal consistency was tested using Cronbach's alpha.

Hot and cold knees: exploring differences in patella skin temperature in patients with patellofemoral pain.

Objectives: To investigate the distribution of patella skin temperature (Tsk) measurements and to explore the presence of temperature subgroups in patellofemoral pain (PFP) patients.

Design: Cross-sectional observational study design.

Participants: One dataset of 58 healthy participants and 232 PFP patients from three different datasets.

Targeted Treatment Protocol in Patellofemoral Pain: Does Treatment Designed According to Subgroups Improve Clinical Outcomes in Patients Unresponsive to Multimodal Treatment?

Background: Targeted intervention for subgroups is a promising approach for the management of patellofemoral pain.

Hypothesis: Treatment designed according to subgroups will improve clinical outcomes in patients unresponsive to multimodal treatment.

Study Design: Prospective crossover intervention.

Effects of two different aquatic exercise trainings on cardiopulmonary endurance and emotional status in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Background: Aquatic exercises are often recommended for people with osteoarthritis (OA), however, there is a lack of evidence about the effects of these exercises.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of two different aquatic exercise trainings on cardiopulmonary endurance and emotional status in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Methods: Eighty-nine patients who had been diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis were divided into three groups as two different aquatic exercise training groups (only lower extremity training vs.

The reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the oxford shoulder instability score.

The aim of this study was to adapt the Oxford Shoulder Instability Score to Turkish culture and test its reliability and validity. This study included 118 patients with shoulder instability. Confirmatory factor analyses, and correlation coefficient between Oxford Shoulder Instability Score and Short Form 36 were calculated in order to test construct validity.

The effects of two different water exercise trainings on pain, functional status and balance in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Methods: Eighty-nine female patients who had been diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis were divided into three groups as two experimental and a control group. All groups have received the standard therapy (hotpack, ultrasound, TENS). Both experimental groups underwent water exercise program.

Do peak torque angles of muscles change following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using hamstring or patellar tendon graft?

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.

The reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Oxford Elbow Score.

Background: Objective measures of outcome ensure reliable decisions with regard to treatment planning. Oxford Elbow Score (OES) is one of the common outcome measures used for assessing quality of life of patients with elbow disorders. OES consists of three domains: pain, elbow function and social/psychological.
