Öğe Effectiveness of game-based core exercise in children with non-neuropathic bladder dysfunction and comparison to biofeedback therapy(Wiley, 2023) Kilcik, Melek Havva; Ozdemir, Filiz; Elmas, Ahmet TanerObjectives This study was planned to evaluate the effectiveness of game-based core exercises in children diagnosed with non-neuropathic bladder dysfunction and compare this effectiveness to that of the biofeedback treatment method. Methods The study included 48 children, aged 6-13 years, who were diagnosed with non-neuropathic bladder dysfunction. The children satisfying the inclusion criteria were selected by drawing lots from the population with the method of nonprobability random sampling. The patients were divided into three groups: group I, game-based core stabilization exercise training; group II, biofeedback program; and group III, game-based core stabilization exercise training in addition to the biofeedback program. The Dysfunctional Voiding and Incontinence Symptom Scale (DVISS) scores and uroflowmetry values of the patients were evaluated before and after the treatment. Results The mean age of the participants was 8.81 +/- 2.08 years. There was a statistically significant difference between the pretreatment and post-treatment DVISS scores in all three groups (p < .05). However, no significant difference was found among the groups. There was no statistically significant difference in the uroflowmetry results of the patients in group I and II before and after the treatment. In group III, the time to maximum flow rate after treatment was significantly reduced, and the average flow rate was significantly increased. Conclusions According to the results of this study, the use of game-based exercises along with biofeedback treatment may reduce DVISS scores in children with non-neuropathic bladder dysfunction. A combination of the two methods may have positively affected the uroflowmetry results of the patients. We think that game-based exercises will contribute to the literature as a new treatment option in the treatment of non-neuropathic bladder dysfunction.Öğe EVALUATION OF POSTURE AND CORE ENDURANCE IN ELITE JUNIOR CLIMBERS(Dokuz Eylul Univ Inst Health Sciences, 2021) Ozdemir, Filiz; Tutus, Nisanur; Kilcik, Melek Havva; Arslan, Faruk; Gurer, Huseyin; Akcinar, FarukObjectives: Climbing, which is a popular sport in recent years, requires high performance and agility levels. The characteristics of climbers are still unclear. This study has been carried out to evaluate the posture and core endurance levels of climbers. Methods: Forty-nine elite climbers (mean age 15.02 +/- 2.68 years) and forty-four healthy sedentary controls (mean age 14.48 +/- 1.17 years) participated in this study. Postural assessment was conducted with New York Posture Rating Chart. McGill Core Endurance Test was used to assess the core endurance levels of the participants. Results: Of the participants included in the study, 58.2% were male and 41.8% were female. 69.3% of the climbers had been involved in climbing for more than 2 years. No statistically significant differences were found between in age, height, and body weight between the groups (p>0.05). A difference was observed in the core endurance scores between the groups (p<0.05). An increase was seen in the climbers' group when compared to the control group in the scores of the endurance levels of core flexors and right and left lateral core muscles (p<0.05). The postures of the climbers' group were also observed to be deteriorated when compared to the control group (p<0.05). Conclusion: The studies conducted on climbing which has become highly popular in recent years are limited considering the importance of the issue. We believe that including posture exercises and endurance training in the exercise programs of the sportspeople will contribute to their climbing performances as well as their overall health.Öğe Evaluation of work-related musculoskeletal disorders and ergonomic risk levels among instrumentalist musicians(2019) Ozdemir, Filiz; Tutus, Nisanur; Akgun, Sakir Orcun; Kilcik, Melek HavvaAim: The study aimed to evaluate work-related musculoskeletal disorders and ergonomic risk levels in instrumentalist musicians. Material and Methods: This is a cross - sectional study. The present study consists of 46 musicians, including 11 violinists, 11 side flutists, 13 pianists and 11 baglama players between the ages of 18 and 50 years who are play at least one of the instruments. The socio-demographic characteristics of the musicians and the data of instrument were questioned by using a descriptive questionnaire. The Quick Exposure Check method was used to analyze the ergonomic risk and Expanded Nordic Musculoskeletal System Questionnaire was used to question musculoskeletal diseases. Results: 48.2% of the participants were male and 52.8% were female. 79.3% of all participants had a daily instrument playing time more than 2 hours. Only 9.6% of the musicians had a low level of ergonomic risk. The most common musculoskeletal problems were seen on the wrist, neck and shoulders. The ergonomic risk levels of the musicians who reported pain were also high. Ergonomic risk levels were significantly higher in musicians who reported low back pain and hip-thigh pain (p <0.05). There was a significant difference between the musical instrument types and ergonomic risk levels of musicians, and it was found that the level of ergonomic risk was higher among piano and violin users (p <0.05). Conclusion: In our study, the ergonomic risk levels and the incidence of musculoskeletal disorders related to work of musicians were found to be remarkably high. For this reason, preventive rehabilitation studies should be conducted in musicians. We think that our study will shed light on intervention research in which ergonomic risk management is planned.Öğe Prediction of neuropathy, neuropathic pain and kinesiophobia in patients with type 2 diabetes and design of computerized clinical decision support systems by using artificial intelligence(Elsevier, 2020) Ozdemir, Filiz; Ari, Ali; Kilcik, Melek Havva; Hanbay, Davut; Sahin, IbrahimExercise is a key component for prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes. However, diabetes complications affect exercise habits. Computerized clinical decision support systems (CCDSSs) may help specialists improve their decision-making abilities in the management of diseases. We hypothesized that patients' diabetic neuropathy, neuropathic pain, and kinesiophobia will quickly be identified in the early stages by using the designed CCDSSs. It is thought that such systems will help in planning exercise programs for patients with diabetes and in maintaining the appropriate programs. Based on our hypothesis, we conclude that CCDSSs will also be effective in managing complications and movement dysfunctions occurring in the musculoskeletal system.
