An investigation of machine learning algorithms for prediction of temporomandibular disorders by using clinical parameters.

This study aimed to predict temporomandibular disorder (TMD) using machine learning (ML) approaches based on measurement parameters that are practically acquired in clinical settings. 125 patients with TMD and 103 individuals without TMD were included in the study. Pain intensity (with visual analog scale), maximum mouth opening (MMO) and lateral excursion movements (with millimeter ruler), cervical range of motion (with goniometer), pressure pain threshold (PPT; with algometer), oral parafunctional behaviors (with Oral Behaviors Checklist), psychological status (with Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), and quality of life (with Oral Health Impact Profile) were evaluated.

Validity and Reliability of the Timed 360° Turn Test in Individuals with Ankle Sprain.

Background: The Timed 360° turn test (T-360° TT) was developed to assess balance and turning ability. Although validity and reliability have been performed in different diseases, validity and reliability have not been performed in individuals with ankle sprain (AS).

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the T-360° TT in individuals with AS.

Validity and reliability of the Turkish Version of the Oral Behaviors Checklist.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Oral Behavior Checklist (OBC-TR).

Materials And Methods: The study included 223 patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) and 94 individuals without TMD. Face and content validity were analyzed.

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.

Validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the 20-item jaw functional limitation scale.

Purpose: This study aimed to translate the 20-item Jaw Functional Limitation Scale (JFLS-20) into Turkish (JFLS-20-TR) and investigate the psychometric properties of the JFLS-20-TR.

Methods: This study included 232 patients with temporomandibular disorder (TMD) and 130 individuals without TMD. Structural (with confirmatory factor analysis [CFA]), convergent (with pain intensity, Fonseca Anamnestic Index [FAI], and Oral Health Impact Profile [OHIP-14]), discriminant (with maximum mouth opening [MMO]) and known-group validity were investigated to assess the construct validity.

The Reliability and Validity of the Modified Four Square Step Test in Individuals with Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Background: The modified four square step test (mFSST) is frequently used in the evaluation of dynamic balance in individuals with balance problems. However, the reliability of the mFSST has not been examined in individuals undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) surgery.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine the test-retest reliability of the mFSST in individuals undergoing ACLR surgery.

Predictors of the masticatory muscle activity during chewing in patients with myogenous temporomandibular disorder.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to identify predictors of the masticatory muscle activity during chewing (MMA) of the masseter and temporalis anterior (TA) muscles in patients with unilateral myogenous temporomandibular disorder (mTMD).

Materials And Methods: This observational and cross-sectional study included 109 patients diagnosed with unilateral mTMD. Surface electromyography was used to separately evaluate the MMA of the masseter and TA on the affected and unaffected sides.

Validity and Reliability of the Turkish Version of Mandibular Function Impairment Questionnaire.

Objective: To assess the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Mandibular Function Impairment Questionnaire (MFIQ-TR).

Methods: Included in this study were 248 patients diagnosed with temporomandibular disorder (TMD) according to Diagnostic Criteria for TMD Axis I protocol. Construct-related validity was evaluated through internal and external construct validity; convergent and divergent validities were evaluated by the average variance extracted (AVE), composite reliability (CR), and bivariate correlations between factors.

Reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Foot Function Index in patients with foot disorders.

Background/aim: The Foot Function Index (FFI) is a valid, reliable, and widely used self-reported questionnaire for the foot. The purpose of this study was to provide evidence for the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the FFI (FFI-TR) among patients with foot disorders such as plantar fasciitis, hallux valgus, pes planus, and hammertoe deformities. Materials and methods: One hundred and fifty-nine patients with foot disorders were enrolled.
