Evaluation and Management of Idiopathic Unilateral Footdrop.

Background: We evaluated patients who were followed after acutely developing single-sided footdrop and improving with conservative management or spontaneously.

Methods: In 2019 and 2020, ten patients were retrospectively evaluated for unilateral weakness of the lower extremity in the form of absent dorsiflexion at the ankle joint and were given a diagnosis of footdrop without etiologic cause. Patients were followed for 18 months.

Exercise in patients coping with breast cancer: An overview.

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women, but fortunately has high survival rates. Many studies have been performed to investigate the effects of exercise in patients diagnosed with breast cancer. There is evidence that exercise after the diagnosis of breast cancer improves mortality, morbidity, health related quality of life, fatigue, physical functioning, muscle strength, and emotional wellbeing.

Bladder wall thickness and ultrasound estimated bladder weight in healthy adults with portative ultrasound device.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate bladder wall thickness (BWT) and ultrasound estimated bladder weight (UEBW) values in healthy population with a portative ultrasound device and their relationship with demographic parameters.

Materials And Methods: The study was carried out in Neurorehabilitation Clinic of Ege University Hospital. Ninety-five subjects (48 women and 47 men) aged between 18 and 56 were included in the study.

Phagocytic and oxidative burst activity of neutrophils in patients with spinal cord injury.

Objective: To evaluate phagocytic activity and neutrophil oxidative burst functions in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) because alterations in neutrophil metabolic activity can be one of the causes of immune mechanism damage contributing to repeated bacterial infections.

Design: A controlled and cross-sectional study.

Setting: Departments of physical medicine and rehabilitation and immunology.

Interferential current therapy in patients with knee osteoarthritis: comparison of the effectiveness of different amplitude-modulated frequencies.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of different amplitude-modulated frequencies of interferential current (IFC) and sham IFC on knee osteoarthritis.

Design: A randomized and single-blind study was performed on 60 patients diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis. The patients were allocated to three active IFC groups (40, 100, and 180 Hz), and one sham IFC group.

Spinal epidural hematoma associated with oral anticoagulation therapy.
