    (Acıbadem Sağlık Bilimleri Dergisi, 2018) Talu, Burcu
    Öz: Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı amatör adölesan sporcularda iki farklı genç sporcu geliştirme programının [Amerika Çocuk Akademisi (American Academy of Pediatrics-AAP) ve Amerika Ulusal Kuvvet ve Kondüsyon Birliği (National Strength and Conditioning Association-NSCA)] fiziksel uygunluk üzerine etkisini belirlemektir. Çalışma planı: Deneysel Araştırma Modeli Hastalar ve yöntemler: Çalışma, 14-18 yaş arası, 20 kız ve 41 erkek olmak üzere toplamda 61 olgu ile yapıldı. Değerlendirmede bireylerin kişisel özellikleri kaydedilip, vücut yağ yüzdesi, vücut yoğunluğu belirlendikten sonra, fiziksel uygunluğu ölçmek için ise EUROFIT Test Bataryasının Flamingo Denge Testi, Disklere Dokunma Testi, Otur Uzan Testi, Durarak Uzun Atlama Testi, Kavrama kuvveti, Mekik Testi değişkenleri kullanıldı. Çalışmada, 1. gruba American Academy of Pediatrics ve 2. gruba National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) nın kriterlerine göre eğitim verildi. 8 haftalık eğitim sonunda değerlendirmeler tekrarlandı. Bulgular: Çalışmanın sonucunda hız, esneklik ve kassal kuvvet üzerine her iki eğitim programının da etkili olduğu, denge üzerine sadece NSCA eğitimin; anaerobik güç ve kassal dayanıklılık üzerine ise sadece AAP eğitim programın etkili olduğu bulundu. Gruplar arası karşılaştırmada denge üzerinde NSCA daha etkiliyken, anaerobik güç üzerinde AAP eğitim programının daha etkin olduğu görüldü. Bölgesel yağ ölçümleri, vücut yoğunlukları ve vücut yağ yüzdelerine bakıldığında; AAP programının eğitim sonunda erkeklerde uyluk bölgesi yağ ölçümünü etkilediği, bunun sonucunda vücut yoğunluğu ve vücut yağ yüzdesinin de etkilendiği görülürken, NSCA eğitiminin bu değerleri etkilemediği görüldü. Sonuç: Genel egzersiz eğitimlerinin adölesan yaş grubu gençlerde, yönlenilen spora özel fiziksel uygunluk parametrelerini geliştirmede yetersiz kalabileceği, bu nedenle spesifik genç sporcu geliştirme programlarının daha etkili olabileceğini düşünmekteyiz.

    Assessment of Pain in Different Patient Populations
    (2023) Karaoba, Dilan Demirtaş; Talu, Burcu
    Pain is an experience that negatively affects a person's life. When choosing the intervention strategies to be planned for the treatment of pain, an accurate assessment of the patient's level of pain is crucial. Asking the patient if they are in pain is the simplest way to determine their level of pain. However, a simple "yes or no" assessment is insufficient. To assess pain, both single-dimensional and multidimensional scales are employed nowadays. In this article, due to the subjectivity and individuality of pain; Information about commonly used pain scales developed specifically for certain patient populations will be given.

    A comparison of taping and neuromuscular electric stimulation outcomes in hemiplegic shoulder: a randomized controlled trial
    (2020) Karabıçak, Gül Öznur; Talu, Burcu
    Abstract: Purpose: Shoulder function plays an important role for survivors to gain independency after stroke. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of shoulder taping (Tp) and neuromuscular electric stimulation (NMES) on shoulder function, motor activity, and pain in patients with hemiplegia. Methods: Outpatients with upper extremity involvement were enrolled in the study. Sixty patients were randomly assigned to kinesio taping group (TpG), NMES, or control groups (CG) after 1-3 months of stroke. Treatment duration was 4 weeks. The Fugl– Meyer Sensorimotor Assessment Scale (FMSAS) and the Motor Activity Log-28 (MAL) were used for shoulder functional assessment. A Visual Analog Scale was used for shoulder pain assessment. Results: Statistically significant improvements in the FMSAS (TpG p?0.001; NMES p=0.002; CG p?0.001) and MAL scores (TpG p?0.001; NMES p?0.001; CG p?0.001) were found in within-group comparisons. Within-group comparisons showed a significant decrease in shoulder pain intensity both at rest (TpG p=0.007 and NMES p=0.014) and with activity (TpG p?0.01 and NMES p=0.016), whereas no significant decrease was found in the CG either at rest or with activity pain (p=0.054 for both). Between-group comparisons revealed a significant change (p=0.0026) in the FMSAS in favour of TpG (p?0.001). No difference was found in the MAL in between-group comparisons (p>0.05). Conclusion: In the conservative treatment of patients with hemiplegia, taping and NMES options could be used to increase isolated motor activity on the affected shoulder; however, if function is desired, kinesio taping would be more effective.

    Conservative, interventional and regenerative methods in chronic pain management
    (2020) Candiri, Busra; Talu, Burcu
    Pain is a complex condition that affects an individual physically, mentally and socially and in which clinicians find it difficult to cope. In particular, the impact of chronic pain on patients’ lives can range from small restrictions to complete loss of independence. Therefore, there are many applications for improving the quality of life of individual and controlling the pain. In recent years, a better understanding of the physiological and chemical mechanisms involved in chronic pain has gained pain management many new treatment methods. These are starting from non-invasive treatment methods such as physiotherapy, manual therapy, emotional therapy, and progressing to more invasive methods such as spinal cord stimulation and deep brain stimulation. Although current advances have taken effective steps in chronic pain control, more comprehensive research is needed on the effectiveness of these treatments and in which situations they are used in coping with pain. In this review, we aimed to summarize current conservative and interventional multidisciplinary methods and special treatment methods used in chronic pain management and to guide clinicians in cope with pain.

    (Korean Pain Soc, 2021) Koc, Meltem; Bazancir, Zilan; Apaydin, Hakan; Talu, Burcu; Bayar, Kilichan
    Background: Yellow flags are psychosocial factors shown to be indicative of long-term chronicity and disability. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Turkish Yellow Flag Questionnaire (YFQ) in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP). Methods: The cross-cultural adaptation was conducted with translation and back-translation of the original version. Reliability (internal consistency and test-retest) was examined for 231 patients with CMP. Construct validity was assessed by correlating the YFQ with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Orebro Musculoskeletal Pain Questionnaire (OMPQ), and Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale (TKS). Factorial validity was examined with both exploratory and confirmatory factorial analysis. Results: The YFQ showed excellent test/retest reliability with an Intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.82. The internal consistency was moderate (Cronbach's alpha of 0.797). As a result of the exploratory factor analysis, there were 7 domains compatible with the original version. As a result of confirmatory factor analysis, the seven-factor structure of YFQ was confirmed. There was a statistically significant correlation between YFQ-total score and OMPQ (r = 0.57, P < 0.001), HADS-anxiety (r = 0.32, P < 0.001), HADS-depression (r = 0.44, P < 0.001), and TKS (r = 0.37, P < 0.001). Conclusions: This study's results provide considerable evidence that the Turkish version of the YFQ has appropriate psychometric properties, including test-retest reliability, internal consistency, construct validity and factorial validity. It can be used for evaluating psychosocial impact in patients with CMP.

    The effect of core strength training on flexibility and balance in sedentary healthy young individuals
    (Gdansk Univ Physical Education & Sport, 2021) Yakut, Hatice; Talu, Burcu
    Background: The aim of this study is to examine the effect of core strength training on the static and dynamic balance and flexibility of the sedentary young indivudals. Material and methods: 41 healthy sedentary students participated in the study (age=21.56 +/- 1.05; height=171.90 +/- 8.18 cm; body weight=66.63 +/- 11.99 kg). Training was applied for 20-30 minutes a day, 2 days a week for 6 weeks. The sit-and-reach test, lateral bending test, hip flexion flexibility test, and the static and dynamic balance scores were used for outcome measures, which were calculated using the Balance System SD (Korebalance Premier-19 Systems Inc. USA). Results: Statistically significant increases were observed in the flexibility tests and dynamic balance parameters between before and after training (p<0.05). In static balance, there was no significant difference between the preliminary and final values. Conclusions: 6-week training was effective in increasing dynamic balance and flexibility, but had no effect on static balance. In the light of this information, we think that training should be a part of life, especially when considering functions that require dynamic balance such as walking in sedentary young individuals. We think that this study is important in terms of preventing injuries of young individuals who do/will do sports recreationally.

    The effect of different ankle and knee supports on balance in early ambulation of post-stroke hemiplegic patients
    (Springer-Verlag Italia Srl, 2017) Talu, Burcu; Bazancir, Zilan
    The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of different ankle and knee supports on balance in early ambulation of post-stroke hemiplegic patients. This is a randomized experimental study. The study sample included 20 hemiplegic patients who were able to stand with support and who had been diagnosed with a cerebrovascular accident within the last month. A knee immobilization brace (KIB) was first placed on each individual (first application), followed by placement of knee immobilizer brace and Foot Lifter Orthosis A (R) (FLO) (second application), and lastly, placement of KIB and rigid taping (RT) (third application). The balance parameters of the patients were evaluated using the Korebalance system. The mean age of the patients was 65.1 +/- 4.7 years, and the mean number of days that had passed since stroke occurred was 14.6 +/- 4.97. In calculating the front/left balance scores of the applications, statistically significant differences were observed in the comparisons of all three supports and first-second applications performed (p = 0.041 and p = 0.021, respectively). Regarding the total scores between the applications, statistically significant differences were determined in balance in the comparisons on all three supports, in comparisons between the first and second applications, and in the comparisons between the second and third applications (p = 0.004, p = 0.007, and p = 0.001, respectively). Based on the findings from this study, it is recommended that the use of a knee immobilizer brace in combination with a foot lifter orthosis for post-stroke hemiplegic patients in early ambulation can lead to considerably improved standing balance.

    The effect of graded motor imagery training on pain, functional performance, motor imagery skills, and kinesiophobia after total knee arthroplasty: randomized controlled trial
    (Korean Pain Soc, 2023) Candiri, Busra; Talu, Burcu; Guner, Emre; Ozen, Metehan
    Background: The aim was to investigate the effect of graded motor imagery (GMI) added to rehabilitation on pain, functional performance, motor imagery ability, and kinesiophobia in individuals with total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods: Individuals scheduled for unilateral TKA were randomized to one of two groups: control (traditional rehabilitation, n = 9) and GMI (traditional rehabilitation + GMI, n = 9) groups. The primary outcome measures were the visual analogue scale and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC). Secondary outcome measures were knee range of motion, muscle strength, the timed up and go test, mental chronometer, Movement Imagery Questionnaire-3, lateralization performance, Central Sensitization Inventory, Pain Catastrophizing Scale, and Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale. Evaluations were made before and 6 weeks after surgery. Results: Activity and resting pain were significantly reduced in the GMI group compared to the control group (P < 0.001 and P = 0.004, respectively). Movement Imagery Questionnaire-3 scores and accuracy of lateralization performance also showed significant improvement (P = 0.037 and P = 0.015, respectively). The Pain Catastrophizing Scale and Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale scores were also significantly decreased in the GMI group compared to the control group (P = 0.039 and P = 0.009, respectively). However, GMI did not differ significantly in WOMAC scores, range of motion, muscle strength, timed up and go test and Central Sensitization Inventory scores compared to the control group (P > 0.05). Conclusions: GMI improved pain, motor imagery ability, pain catastrophizing, and kinesiophobia in the acute period after TKA.

    Background: Back pain caused by lumbar region pathologies is a condition that leads to loss of productivity and physical disability, with high costs of diagnosis and treatment. This study was planned to investigate the effect of taping and soft orthosis application on the pain and functional disability in the pathology of lumbar region without neurological deficit. Methods: This study is randomized controlled trial. Sixty-three volunteer patients were randomly divided into three groups of 21 people. Group I, soft orthotics and stabilization exercise program; Group II, Kinesio taping and stabilization exercise program; Group III, stabilization exercise program was applied. After obtaining demographic data of the participants; patients were evaluated in terms of range of motion and muscle strength. We used visual analog scale for pain level assessment, sit and reach test for flexibility assessment, timed up and go test (TUG) for functional ambulation and balance, modified Schober test for lumbar spine flexibility, Oswestry Disability Index in the assessment of functional disability. They were assessed at the pretreatment, third (post treatment) and six week (home programs and follow-up). Results: The results showed that significant differences (p<0.05) occurred over time in the study parameters such as functional ambulation, flexibility, lumbar flexibility, functional disability, pain, strength, range of motion in all groups. In comparisons between groups, there was a difference mainly in favor of Group II (p<0.05). Conclusions: We have concluded that in lumbar region pathologies without neurological deficits, stabilization exercises combined with orthotics and Kinesio taping applications reduces pain and functional disability.
