Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of body posture and apnea severity on the tone, stiffness, and elasticity of upper airway muscles in awake patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS).
Methods: Eighty adult patients with OSAS from the Sleep Laboratory of the Bitlis State Hospital between April and December 20...
The primary objective of this study was to investigate the reliability of the myotonometer in the mechanical properties of the forearm muscles [m. extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB), and m. flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU)] in healthy individuals. The secondary objective was to investigate the relationship between the handgrip strength and mechanical...
Background: Quantifying the biomechanical properties of the thenar muscle can provide valuable insight into hand assessment methods.
Purpose: This study aimed to examine the reliability of myotonometer measurements in determining the biomechanical properties (tone, stiffness and elasticity) of thenar muscles in healthy individuals and explore sex-...
Objectives : To compare muscle tone and stiffness in ambulatory children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy (UCP) with typically developing peers and explore their relationship with postural balance and functional mobility. Methods : Forty ambulatory children with UCP and age-matched typically developing peers were assessed for tone and stiffne...
Dentistry is a profession that requires mental and physical attention due to the nature of the work performed. Especially manual dexterity, psychomotor skills and long-term static stay in the same position due to procedures in a small area can disrupt the symmetry of the body and cause neck pain and disability in upper extremity functions over time...

Technology-assisted physical activity interventions for older adults in their home-based environment have been used to promote physical activity. While previous reviews focused on health-related outcomes of such interventions, this scoping review explores the characteristics of the technology in relation to the characteristics of popul...
Purpose: The study aimed to explore the potential correlation between physical performance and health metrics in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Furthermore, it sought to compare the variations in health metrics and physical performance across different severities of OSA. Material and Methods: Eighty-four participants undergoing polyso...
Purpose: Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNBH) is a neurological disorder associated with ventriculomegaly and normal cerebrospinal fluid pressure and characterized by gait disturbances, cognitive changes and urinary incontinence. We aimed to compare patients' gait characteristics with iNBH before and after the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) t...
Background: Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a disease that is clinically characterized by gait disturbance and balance impairment. Our purpose was to evaluate the effects of cerebrospinal fluid tap test procedures on gait, turning and balance parameters in the first 24 hours following the procedure in patients.
Methods: Twenty-e...
Aims: Events that cause a state of isolation, such as a pandemic, and affect the training status of athletes can lead to loss of performance and increased risk of injury. The aim of this study was to compare the injuries of football players faced with the isolation and lack of training caused by COVID-19 and an intense match tempo after stress and...
Aims:
The primary objective was to compare patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and healthy peers in terms of plantar fascia (PF) stiffness, fall risk, and gait speed. The second objective was to examine the relationship between stiffness of PF and fall risk, gait speed.
Methods:
Fifty patients diagnosed with T2DM (mean duration = 10.74...
Purpose:
To translate and culturally adapt the Diabetes Quality of Life Brief Clinical Inventory (DQoL-BCI) into Turkish and assess the psychometric properties of the translated version.
Methods:
A forward-backward translation process was conducted in conformity with international guidelines. A total of 150 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus...
Purpose: The study aimed to examine plantar fascia stiffness in individuals over and under 65 years of age, and to question the predicted effect of age and vitamin D level on plantar fascia stiffness. Material and Methods: Forty adults were included to the study. The participants were divided into two groups as equal or above 65 years and below 65...
Objectives:
The whole-body vibration (WBV) effects on muscle strength show inconsistent results. Moreover, there is no study about the WBV effect on stiffness, elasticity, and muscle strength. Therefore, the study aimed to examine the effect of WBV exposure with static squat posture on the stiffness, elasticity, and strength of the lower-limb exte...
Introduction: Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) have become an increasing problem worldwide. Academicians working in the field of health sciences undertake a workload that may cause WMSD and the psychosocial impact associated with this situation, while fulfilling their professional theoretical and clinical teaching duties. Aim: This st...
Amaç: Obstrüktif uyku apne sendromu (OUAS), hastaların sağlıkla ilgili yaşam kalitesini ve duygusal durumunu etkileyen bir uyku bozukluğudur. Hastalık şiddetinin sağlıkla ilgili yaşam kalitesi, depresyon ve anksiyete için etkisi ise henüz net değildir. Çalışmanın amacı OUAS şiddetine göre hastaların yaşam kalitesi ile depresyon-anksiyete düzeyleri...
Giriş: Pandemi döneminde enfeksiyonun yayılma oranlarını yavaşlatmak amacıyla, dünya çapında sosyal mesafe ve izolasyon politikaları benimsenmiştir. Bu önlemler, enfeksiyon kontrolü için etkili olmasına rağmen, potansiyel davranışsal ve klinik yansımalara sahiptir ve bu etkilerin bilinmesi uzun vadede toplum sağlığını geliştirmeye yönelik hedefleri...
Amaç: Pek çok kadın gebelik döneminde uyku bozukluğu ve yorgunluk hissinden yakınmaktadır. Dolayısıyla; bu şikayetler gebeleri fizyolojik, psikolojik ve sosyal açıdan olumsuz etkileyerek yaşam kalitelerini
düşürmektedir. Bu derlemenin amacı, gebelik döneminde yapılan çeşitli fiziksel aktivite ve egzersiz programlarının uyku bozukluğu ve yorgunluk ş...
