Carpal tunnel syndrome prediction with machine learning algorithms using anthropometric and strength-based measurement.

Objectives: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) stands as the most prevalent upper extremity entrapment neuropathy, with a multifaceted etiology encompassing various risk factors. This study aimed to investigate whether anthropometric measurements of the hand, grip strength, and pinch strength could serve as predictive indicators for CTS through machine learning techniques.

Methods: Enrollment encompassed patients exhibiting CTS symptoms (n = 56) and asymptomatic healthy controls (n = 56), with confirmation via electrophysiological assessments.

Validity and reliability of the Modified Four Square Step Test in individuals with ankle sprain.

Background: Postural instability and gait abnormalities are frequently observed after an ankle sprain. A modified Four Square Step Test (mFSST) was developed to assess dynamic balance during gait. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the mFSST in individuals with ankle sprains.

Five-times sit-to-stand test following anterior cruciate ligament surgery: a cross-sectional reliability study.

Aims: Patients who have had anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R) should periodically have their muscle strength assessed. The five-times sit-to-stand test (FTSST) can evaluate the muscle strength and balance of the lower extremities. This study's primary purpose was to assess the validity and reliability of the FTSST in patients who have undergone ACL-R.

Validity and Reliability of Turkish Version of the Munich Wrist Questionnaire in Patients With Wrist Problems.

Evidence for the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Munich Wrist Questionnaire (MWQ), a patient reported outcome measurement tool (PROM) was evaluated. A total of 80 patients (54.1 ± 1.

The effectiveness of two different exercise approaches in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: A single-blind, randomized-controlled trial.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of two different types of exercise methods in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.

Methods: In total, 28 subjects with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis with a mild curve magnitude (10°-26°) were randomly divided into two groups: the Schroth group (n = 14) and the core group (n = 14). The patients in the Schroth group were treated with supervised Schroth exercises, and the patients in the core group were treated with supervised core stabilization exercises; both groups performed the exercises for three days per week for a total of 10 weeks, and both were given additional traditional exercises to perform.

Effects of Tai Chi on partial anterior cruciate ligament injury: A single-blind, randomized-controlled trial.

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the effects of Tai Chi (TC) exercises on muscle strength, pain, proprioception, and knee function in patients with partial anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries.

Patients And Methods: Between March 2017 and January 2018, a total of 58 patients with partial ACL injuries (30 male, 28 female; mean age 25.5±6.

Lumbar spine posture and spinopelvic parameters change in various standing and sitting postures.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare differences in lumbosacral and spinopelvic parameters between pain developers and non-pain developers as well as the effects of various posture changes.

Methods: A total of 38 consecutive participants, 20 standing-induced low back pain developers (mean age: 27.7 ± 5.

Results of 'two above- one below approach' with intermediate screws at the fracture site in the surgical treatment of thoracolumbar burst fractures.

The aim of this retrospective clinical study was to evaluate and compare the results of the technique so called 'two above one below approach' with intermediate screws at the fracture site with long-segment posterior fusion in the surgical treatment of thoracolumbar burst fractures. For this purpose neurologically intact 27 patients having isolated one level thoracolumbar burst fracture underwent posterior instrumentation and fusion in our clinic via 'two above-one below approach' with intermediate screws at the fracture site. A control group consisting of 15 patients having one level thoracolumbar burst fracture treated with long segment posterior spinal fusion in our institute was formed.
