Öğe Association of Urinary Incontinence with Sensory-Motor Performance in Women with Multiple Sclerosis(Springer London Ltd, 2024) Ozden, Fatih; Ozkeskin, Mehmet; Sari, Zubeyir; Ekici, Ece; Yuceyar, NurIntroduction and HypothesisThe relationship between somatosensory and motor components of urinary incontinence in individuals with MS has not been extensively addressed. The study was aimed at investigating the association of urinary incontinence severity with motor and sensory performance in women with multiple sclerosis (MS). MethodsA cross-sectional single-center prospective study was conducted in 337 women with MS. The severity of MS symptoms was assessed using the SymptoMScreen questionnaire. The urinary incontinence status of the participants was evaluated using the Urinary Incontinence Inventory (UDI-6) and the Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7). Physical performance was considered with the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test and the 5-Times Sit-to-Stand (5TSTS) test. In addition, the sensory performance of the individuals with MS was queried using the Somatosensory Amplification Scale (SSAS) and Sensory Sensitivity Scale (SeSS). ResultsThe UDI-6 (r=0.685, p<0.05) and IIQ-7 (r=0.759, p<0.05) correlated highly with SymptoMScreen. Among the physical performance measures, TUG (r=0.012, p<0.05) and 5TSTS (r=0.096, p<0.05) were weakly associated with UDI-6, but not statistically significantly. Similarly, there was a low correlation between IIQ-7 and TUG (r=-0.005, p<0.05) and 5TSTS (r=0.068, p<0.05). UDI-6 (0.360, p<0.05) and IIQ-7 (0.378, p<0.05) correlated moderately with SASS. On the other hand, SeSS had a low correlation coefficient with UDI-6 (0.305, p<0.05) and IIQ-7 (0.272, p<0.05). ConclusionsThe results revealed that sensory performance was more associated with urinary incontinence in women with MS than physical performance. The urinary incontinence severity was also related to MS symptoms (bladder control, walking, spasticity, stiffness cognitive function). Future studies should consider the potential impact of sensory performance on urinary incontinence and focus on explaining the mechanism behind this relationship.Öğe The comparison of fatigue, sleep quality, physical activity, quality of life, and psychological status in multiple sclerosis patients with or without COVID-19(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2021) Ozkeskin, Mehmet; Ozden, Fatih; Karaman, Bedriye; Ekmekci, Ozgul; Yuceyar, NurPurpose: The study was purposed to investigate the effect of COVID-19 disease on fatigue, sleep quality, physical activity, quality of life, and psychological status in people with MS. Methods: A total of 104 people with MS, including 46 of them with COVID-19 disease history, were enrolled in the study. All patients were evaluated with the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQSF), the EuroQoL Instrument (EQ-5D-3L), the Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S) and the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS). Results: People with MS in the COVID-19 positive group had a significantly lower IPAQ-Total score (p = 0.014). Besides, the FCV-19S scores of COVID-19 positive patients were significantly higher (p = 0.006). EQ-5D-3L Index and EQ-5D-3L VAS scores were higher in the group with COVID-19 (p1 = 0.021, p2 = 0.014, respectively). FCV19S had a moderate correlation with EDSS (r = -0.362). IPAQ-Total was moderately associated with MS duration, EDSS and FSS (r1 = -0.471, r2 = -0.389, r3 = -0.388, respectively). The EQ-5D-3L Index was moderately correlated with FSS (r1 = -0.404). There was a weakly significant relationship between EQ-5D-3L Index and BMI, MS duration, PSQI and CAS (r1 = -0.471, r2 =-0.389, r3 = -0.388, r4 = -0.326, respectively). On the other hand, EQ-5D-3L was moderately associated with VAS and EDSS and PSQI (r1 = -0.393, r2 = -0.357, respectively). Conclusion: COVID-19 negatively affected the people with MS's physical activity and coronavirus related fear parameters. However, the causality of this influence should be investigated in detail.Öğe Cross-cultural adaptation, reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Fear of Relapse Scale (FoR) in individuals with multiple sclerosis(Elsevier, 2022) Ozden, Fatih; Ozkeskin, Mehmet; Yuceyar, NurObjective: The study aimed to translate and cross-culturally adapt the Fear of Relapse Scale (FoR) into Turkish and determine its psychometric properties. Methods: International guidelines were used for the translation and adaptation process. The patients were asked to fill the FoR, Intolerance of Uncertainty (IUS-12) and Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21). One week later, participants refilled the FoR. The test-retest reliability, internal consistency, and construct validity of the FoR were analyzed. Results: A total of 101 MS patients (37.6 +/- 10.0 years, 81.2% women) were included in the research. The test retest reliability of the FoR was excellent (ICC:0.883; CI:0.64-0.92). The reproducibility of the items of the FoR ranged from 0.2 to 0.8. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the FoR was 0.914. The internal consistency of the items was ranged between 0.90 and 0.91 The relationship between FoR with IUS-12, DASS-21 (depression), DASS-21 (anxiety), DASS-21 (stress) was 0.609, 0.641, 0.648 and 0.631, respectively. The correlation coefficients were greater than 0.50 (p < 0.01). Conclusion: The Turkish version of the FoR is a reliable and valid tool to measure relapse fear in patients with MS.Öğe Cross-cultural adaptation, reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the modified Gait Efficacy Scale in community-dwelling older adults(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2022) Ozden, Fatih; Ozkeskin, Mehmet; Sahin, SevnazBackground There are no published studies on the cross-cultural adaptation of the modified Gait Efficacy Scale (mGES) to Turkish and investigated its reliability and validity. Purpose The aim of the study was to cross-culturally adapt the mGES to Turkish (T-mGES) and to prove its psychometric properties in community-dwelling older adults. Methods International translation strategies and cultural adaptation procedures were used. A total of 103 community-dwelling older adults (73 women, 30 men) have participated in psychometric property analysis. Participants were assessed using the T-mGES, Activity Specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC) and the Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I). T-mGES was recompleted one week later. Results The mean age of the individuals was 67.8 +/- 4.8 years. The T-mGES had strong test-retest reliability (ICC: 0.835, CI 95%: 0.72-0.90). The T-mGES' overall score had strong internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha: 0.961). The SEM95 and MDC95 values for the total score were 6.62 and 18.34, respectively. T-mGES had a strong relationship with ABC and FES-I (r(1): 0.899, r(2): -0.707, p < .01), indicating a high (r > 0.50) construct validity. On the other hand, factor analysis results proved a one-dimensioned structure of the T-mGES. Conclusion T-mGES is a reliable and valid questionnaire for assessing gait efficacy in Turkish speaking community-dwelling older adults. T-mGES provides a straightforward measure due to its unidimensional form.Öğe Cross-cultural adaptation, reliability, and validity of the Turkish version of the SymptoMScreen(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2021) Ozkeskin, Mehmet; Ozden, Fatih; Bakirhan, Serkan; Yuceyar, NurPurpose: The study aimed to translate and cross-culturally adapt the SymptoMScreen into Turkish and evaluate its reliability and validity. Methods: One hundred nine MS patients were included in the study. SymptoMScreen was translated into Turkish according to the standardized guidelines and cross-culturally adapted. For construct validity, SymptoMScreen was compared with the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), Multiple Sclerosis-Related Symptom Checklist (MS-RS), and Beck Depression Scale (BDS) by Spearman?s correlation coefficient. Thirty patients refilled SymptoMScreen one week later, and the test-retest reliability was analyzed by the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC). Internal consistency was evaluated with Cronbach?s alpha coefficient. The standard error of measurement (SEM95) and the minimum detectable change (MDC95) were calculated. Results: Test-retest reliability and internal consistency of the SymptoMScreen were excellent (ICC = 0.925, ? = 0.914). SEM95 and MDC95 were 3.28 and 9.29, respectively. There was a strong correlation between the SymptoMScreen with the MS-RS and EDSS (r1= 0.908, p < 0.00; r2= 0.511, p < 0.001). Besides, the SymptoMScreen was moderately correlated with BDS (r = 0.584, p < 0.001). Conclusion: The Turkish version of the SymptoMScreen is a reliable and valid questionnaire for multiple sclerosis patients.Öğe Cross-cultural adaptation, validation, and the reliability of the Sleep-Related Behaviors Questionnaire in patients with multiple sclerosis(Springer-Verlag Italia Srl, 2022) Ozden, Fatih; Ozkeskin, Mehmet; Yuceyar, NurPurpose Examining sleep-related behavioral disorder strategies in detail for MS patients provides an essential assessment to address specific disease findings. The aim of the study was to demonstrate the reliability and validity of the Turkish Sleep-Related Behaviors Questionnaire in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods A total of 100 MS patients were filled Sleep-Related Behaviors Questionnaire (SRBQ), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). One week later, 30 randomly selected patients were refilled the SRBQ. The test-retest reliability, internal consistency, and contruct validity were determined. Results The mean age of the individuals included in the study was 38.9 +/- 11.0 years. The ICC value of the reproducibility of SRBQ was calculated as 0.877 (CI: 0.74-0.94). The test-retest reliability of the SRBQ was excellent (ICC > 0.80). Cronbach's alpha value of the SRBQ was 0.877, which indicates excellent consistency. The SRBQ had correlation coefficients of 0.573, 0.509, and 0.523 with ISI, PSQI, and BDI, respectively. The SRBQ had high validity (r > 0.50, p < 0.01). Conclusion The Turkish SRBQ was found to be valid and reliable in patients with MS. Owing to the long but comprehensive nature of the SRBQ, a low-cost detailed measurement could be obtained in clinical practice.Öğe Cross-cultural adaptation, validation, and the reliability of the Sleep-Related Behaviors Questionnaire in patients with multiple sclerosis (Jun, 10.1007/s10072-022-06196-4, 2022) [Correction](Springer-Verlag Italia Srl, 2022) Ozden, Fatih; Ozkeskin, Mehmet; Yuceyar, Nur[No Abstract Available]Öğe Does backward gait require more proprioception and balance in older adults after total knee arthroplasty?(Elsevier, 2024) Ozden, Fatih; Uysal, Ismail; Tumturk, Ismet; Ozkeskin, Mehmet; Ozyer, FatihObjectives: Some basic and instrumental daily living activities include backward gait. There is a need to clarify which parameters should be focused more on to improve backward gait in older individuals. This research investigated the proprioception, and balance in forward-backward gait of older individuals with total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods: A prospective cross-sectional research was conducted with 105 older adults with TKA. Individuals' forward and backward gait performance was assessed with the Timed Up & Go Test (TUG) and 3 Meter Walk Back Test (3MBWT), respectively. Proprioception was measured with a mobile application-based inclinometer. Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Activity Specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC) were used to assess balance and balance confidence levels, respectively. A single clinician evaluated the individuals. Results: TUG was weakly and positively correlated with the Right and Left Leg Proprioception Test (RLPT and LLPT) (r(1) = 0.386, r(2 )= 0.391, p < 0.01). Also, the 3MBWT was weakly and positively correlated with RLPT and LLPT, respectively (r(1) = 0.293, r(2) = 0.251, p < 0.01). In addition, TUG was strongly and negatively correlated with BBS and ABC, respectively (r(1) = -0,693, r(2) = -0.722, p < 0.01). Besides, 3MBWT was strongly and negatively correlated with BBS and ABC (r(1) = -0.642, r(2) = -0.645, p < 0.01). Conclusion: The study revealed that forward and backward walking were similarly associated with balance and proprioception in older adults with TKA. Clinicians should focus more on balance ability than proprioception to improve backward walking performance in older individuals with THA.Öğe The Effect of Kinesio Taping on Shoulder Symptoms in Patients with Stroke: A Systematic Review(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022) Ozden, Fatih; Ozkeskin, Mehmet; Tumturk, Ismet; Ezgin, Bennu DenizAims: The present review was aimed to indicate the existing effectiveness of kinesio taping (KT) use in stroke patients with shoulder symptoms. Methods: The literature search was carried out in PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, Web of Science (WoS) databases. The quality assessment was accomplished using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale. A narrative synthesis was conducted to present the results. Results: Thirteen studies were included in the study. The contribution of the KT to internal and external range of motion (ROM), specifically flexion and abduction, was emphasized. KT's additional advantages to reducing pain, spasticity, and increasing motor function (including electromyography findings) were highlighted. Function scores and stroke staging of the individuals were improved with reducing the severity of the subluxation and a more stable shoulder joint. Conclusion: The present systematic review reported the positive effects of KT on shoulder pain, spasticity, passive-ROM, active-ROM, and motor function in individuals with stroke.Öğe The effect of pelvic floor muscle training on urinary incontinence in patients with stroke: a systematic review and meta-analysis(Springer London Ltd, 2022) Ozden, Fatih; Tumturk, Ismet; Ozkeskin, Mehmet; Bakirhan, SerkanBackground No other systematic review presented the effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) in individual with stroke. Aims The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to demonstrate the effectiveness of PFMT for urinary incontinence in patients with stroke. Methods Web of Science (WoS), Cochrane Library, PubMed and Scopus databases were searched. Revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool randomized trials (RoB 2) and PEDro were used to assess the risk of bias and methodological quality of the studies. Narrative synthesis and meta-analysis were conducted to present the results. Results A total of 8 articles were included in the review. Seven articles were classified as good level evidence. Four articles were considered to have high risk of bias for the overall score. Regarding two homogenous studies, PFMT-based rehabilitation was not superior standard urinary incontinence therapy on SF-36-Social Function score at 12-week follow-up (ES 0.47, 95% CI - 0.16-0.96). Data pooling of two studies did not provide an additional advantage of pelvic muscle training on 3 days voiding diary (night, total day) score at 12-week follow-up (ES 28, 95% CI - 0.61-0.48; ES 0.30, 95% CI - 0.23-0.95). On the other hand, low-quality evidence demonstrated that pelvic muscle training yielded better results on daytime voiding (ES 0.28, 95% CI 0.04-1.16). Conclusions The results demonstrated that PFMT had positive effects in terms of daytime urination frequency and incontinence. Although some studies have reported positive effects on symptoms, function, strength, and endurance, the generalizability of these results is controversial. Further studies should assess the quality-of-life and function with urinary incontinence and stroke-specific tools.Öğe Effect of Telerehabilitation-Based Exercise and Education on Pain, Function, Strength, Proprioception, and Psychosocial Parameters in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2024) Tumturk, Ismet; Bakirhan, Serkan; Ozden, Fatih; Gultac, Emre; Kilinc, Cem YalinObjectiveIn middle-aged individuals with early-stage knee osteoarthritis, follow-up with remote rehabilitation methods may provide effective clinical outcomes. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of telerehabilitation on pain, function, performance, strength, proprioception, and psychosocial parameters in patients with knee osteoarthritis. DesignA randomized controlled study was conducted with 54 participants with knee osteoarthritis. All patients were randomized into two groups: the home-based telerehabilitation group (n = 29) and the home-based paper group (n = 28). The home exercise program and training were provided with an instruction manual to paper group. The same home exercise and education prescriptions were given to individuals in telerehabilitation group via an online platform. Pain, function, quality of life, physical performance, muscle strength, and proprioception were evaluated at baseline and after 8 wks of intervention. In addition, satisfaction and usability were evaluated at week 8. ResultsTelerehabilitation group demonstrated better improvement in terms of pain, function, quality of life index score, and left extremity proprioception (P < 0.05). Telerehabilitation group was not superior to paper group in terms of muscle strength and performance tests (except the Five Times Sit to Stand Test) (P > 0.05). ConclusionsThe home-based telerehabilitation program was superior to the home-based paper group program for pain, function, quality of life, and proprioception in patients with knee osteoarthritis.Öğe The effectiveness of physical exercise in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis: a systematic review(Springernature, 2022) Ozden, Fatih; Tumturk, Ismet; Yuvakgil, Zahide; Sari, ZubeyirBackground To our knowledge, no other systematic review comprehensively demonstrated the effectiveness of exercise and conventional physiotherapy in lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). Aims The purpose of the present systematic review was to provide a comprehensive review of exercise therapy on LSS. Methods A literature search was carried out in the following databases on October 2021: PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science (WoS) database. The study quality assessment was independently determined according to the PEDro scores by two reviewers. A narrative synthesis was used to synthesize the data of the compiled studies and express their results. Results Records identified through database searching; PubMed (n = 352), Web of Science (n = 180), Science Direct (n = 2801), Cochrane Library (n = 423) and Scopus (n = 12). A total of 3768 papers were screened. Studies unrelated to the question, another study language, undesired study design, duplicate articles, undesired intervention, undesired sample feature (n = 3757) were excluded. An analysis was conducted on the full text of 11 journals. The vast majority (90.9%) of articles received a PEDro score of 6-8 (good). The mean PEDro score of the studies was 6.8 +/- 1.5 (min:1, max:8). Four of the studies (36.3%) focused on neurogenic claudication in the LSS. Other studies have focused on LSS due to various causes (e.g., degenerative). Conclusions The review results showed that supervised exercise was more effective in LSS than self-management or home exercise. In addition, core stabilization, aqua therapy or aerobic (e.g., treadmill, cycling) exercises can be advantageous in different parameters.Öğe FLARE-RA in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: translation and cross-cultural adaptation into Turkish(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2023) Ozden, Fatih; Ozkeskin, Mehmet; Aktan, Ozge Ocaker; Yildirim, Tuba Demirci; Sari, IsmailBackground: Flare Assessment in Rheumatoid Arthritis (FLARE-RA) is a patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) to evaluate the flare-related symptoms of individuals with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) in the last three months. Objective: The present study aimed to demonstrate the translation, cultural adaptation and psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the FLARE-RA. Methods: A cross-sectional psychometric analysis study was conducted with a total of 80 patients (61 Women, 19 Men; 49.6 +/- 15.4 years). Patients filled-out the Global Health Assessment (GHA), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Disease Activity Score-28 (DAS-28), Rheumatoid Arthritis Quality-of-Life Questionnaire (RAQoL), Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) in addition to the Turkish FLARE-RA. In addition, participants' Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were recorded. Thirty patients refilled the FLARE-RA again, one-week later. Results: In the cross-cultural adaptation, translation procedures and pilot study, each item of the Turkish version of the FLARE-RA was found to be comprehensible. The ICC (two-way random-effect, single-measure model) and alpha values of the Turkish FLARE-RA were 0.97 and 0.96, respectively. The MDC95 values calculated for the FLARE-RA, FLARE-RA-arthritis, and FLARE-RA-symptoms scores were 2.01, 1.60, and 1.18, respectively. FLARE-RA, FLARE-RA-arthritis, and FLARE-RA-symptoms scores were highly correlated with VAS-rest, VAS-activity, DAS-28, RAQoL, and HAQ scores (r > 0.50). On the other hand, scores of FLARE-RA, FLARE-RA-arthritis, and FLARE-RA-symptoms were moderately correlated with the GHA-patient subscale, GHA-clinician subscale, ESR, and duration of morning stiffness (0.35 < r < 0.50). Conclusion: The present study results demonstrated the reliability and validity of the Turkish FLARE-RA. FLARE-RA is a practical tool to assess the flare of RA patients.Öğe Gait assessment in shaped pathways: The test-retest reliability and concurrent validity of the figure of eight test and L test in multiple sclerosis patients without mobility aids(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2022) Ozden, Fatih; Ozkeskin, Mehmet; Ar, Ege; Yuceyar, NurPurpose: To our knowledge, no other studies have demonstrated the reliability and validity of the Figure of Eight Walking Test (F8WT) and L Test in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). The aim of the study was to prove the test-retest reliability and concurrent validity of the F8WT and L Test in patients with MS.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 52 patients with MS. A clinical neurologist evaluated patients by Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS). Participants completed the F8WT, L Test, Timed Up and Go Test (TUG), and Timed 25-Foot Walk Test (T25FW) in the first assessment session. Then, the F8WT and L Test was retested one hour later. The same evaluator completed all of the assessments.Results: The ICC of both tests were excellent (ICCF8WT: 0.972, ICCL Test: 0.986). F8WT and L test measurement did not show a systematic bias and were within the agreement limits. The Standard Error of Measurement (SEM95) and Minimal Detectable Change (MDC95) values of the F8WT was 0.58 and 1.60, respectively. Besides, L Test's SEM95 and MDC95 were 0.59 and 1.63. The correlation between F8WT with TUG, T25FW and EDSS was 0.849, 0.810 and 0.453. On the other hand, the L test's correlation coefficient with TUG, T25FW and EDSS 0.682, 0.706 and 0.535, respectively (p < 0.01). Individuals with EDSS <= 1 '' had statistically significantly better L-test and F8WT scores than those with EDSS: 1 to 4.5 ''(p < 0.01).Conclusion: F8WT and L Test is a valid and reliable physical performance test in MS patients without mobility aids. Both tests demonstrate advanced gait assessment in L and 8 shaped pathways to provide more comprehensive evaluation than horizontal pathways.Öğe The investigation of cognition, proprioception, sensory and physical function in stroke patients with urinary incontinence(Springer, 2023) Ozden, Fatih; Ozkeskin, Mehmet; Tumturk, Ismet; Yalcin, MustafaPurposeThis study aimed to investigate cognition, proprioception, and sensory/physical function in stroke patients with urinary incontinence (UI).MethodsA prospective cross-sectional study was conducted on 53 individuals with stroke (23 had UI and 21 matched controls). The Incontinence Impact Questionnaire Short Form (IIQ-7) and Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6) were used to assess the patients' UI symptoms. Participants were also evaluated with Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Barthel Index (BI), Fugl-Meyer Sensory Assessment (FMA-S), Five Times Sit to Stand Test (FTSST), Functional Reach Test (FRT) and Proprioception Test.ResultsFTSST, FRT and FMA-S were better in stroke subjects without UI (p < 0.05). There was a moderate correlation between IIQ-7 with FMA-S, FTSST and proprioception (left extremity) (r(1): - 0.415, r(2): 0.440, r(3): 0.430, p < 0.05) and a low correlation with BI (r: - 0.356, p < 0.05).ConclusionIndividuals with UI had worse sensory/motor function and static balance. Stroke patients with UI were more dependent, had less sensory function, and had worse lower extremity muscle strength and proprioception as the level of urinary incontinence increased. To reduce urinary incontinence, emphasis on motor/sensory function, balance, and proprioception should be considered.Öğe THE INVESTIGATION OF KINESIOPHOBIA , PAIN CATASTROPHIZING, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, ANXIETY, AND DEPRESSION IN PATIENTS WITH OR WITHOUT MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION(Dokuz Eylul Univ Inst Health Sciences, 2023) Ozden, Fatih; Ozkeskin, Mehmet; Tumturk, Ismet; Ozlek, Eda; Ozlek, BulentPurpose: The study aimed to investigate kinesiophobia, pain catastrophizing, physical activity, anxiety, and depression in patients with MI.Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 100 participants (50 myocardial infarction, 50 age-sex matched controls). Participants were evaluated with the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia for Heart (TSK Heart), Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF), and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD).Results: IPAQ-SF (except sitting time) was higher in the control group (p<0.01). PCS score (p<0.01), HAD-A (p=0.001) and HAD-D (p=0.006) scores were significantly higher in the MI group. TSK Heart was correlated with Sitting PA (r=0.425), Walking PA (r=-0.574), Moderate PA (r=-0.632), HAD-A (r=0.641) and HAD-D (r=0.827) (p<0.01). There was a relationship between HAD-A with Sitting PA, Walking PA and Moderate PA (r1=0.445, r2=-0.485, r3=-0.378, p<0.01). Lastly, HAD-D was correlated with Sitting PA, Walking PA and Moderate PA (r1=0.475, r2=-0.520, r3=-0.578, p<0.01).Conclusion: The study results showed decreased physical activity, increased kinesiophobia, pain catastrophizing, depression and anxiety in patients with MI. In addition, kinesiophobia was related to mild -moderate physical activity and depression-anxiety.Öğe The life balance inventory in patients with multiple sclerosis: Cross-cultural adaptation, reliability and validity of the Turkish version(Sage Publications Ltd, 2022) Ozden, Fatih; Ozkeskin, Mehmet; Yuceyar, NurIntroduction: The aim of the study was to present the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the life balance inventory in individuals with multiple sclerosis. Methods: Life balance inventory was translated and adapted considering common suggestions. Participants were cross-sectionally evaluated twice with life balance inventory, with a 1-week interval. Expanded Disability Status Scale, Beck Depression Scale, and Short Form-12 were used to assess the convergent validity. Results: A total of 113 individuals with multiple sclerosis were enrolled in the study. Test-retest reliability of the total score and all subscores of the life balance inventory were excellent (intraclass correlation coefficient > 0.80). The internal consistency of the life distress inventory was excellent (alpha = 0.73-0.95). The correlation of Expanded Disability Status Scale with life balance inventory and its subscores was low in the scope of divergent validity, as expected (r < 0.35). The correlation between life balance inventory total score and Expanded Disability Status Index was -0.337 (p < 0.01). Life balance inventory scores were moderately correlated (p < 0.01), except life balance inventory health score. Life balance inventory scores were correlated with SF-12 physical-subscales and mental-subscales, in a low and moderate degree, respectively. The life balance inventory total score was highly correlated with the life balance inventory subscores (r = 0.69-0.96, p < 0.01). Conclusion: The Turkish life balance inventory is a reliable and valid inventory in patients with multiple sclerosis. Life balance inventory comprehensively evaluates the life balance parameters of multiple sclerosis patients.Öğe Opinions, satisfaction and expectations of individuals with multiple sclerosis about telerehabilitation services(Elsevier, 2024) Ozden, Fatih; Ozkeskin, Mehmet; Ekici, Ece; Tumturk, Ismet; Ekmekci, Ozguel; Yuceyar, NurObjective: The opinions, satisfaction, and expectations of telemedicine can provide essential data for remote health services in individuals with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The study aimed to demonstrate the views (barriersbenefits), satisfaction, and expectations of individuals with MS about telerehabilitation services. Methods: A prospective cross-sectional was conducted with 82 individuals with MS who received telerehabilitation services for at least one year. The participants have completed SymptoMScreen, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Telehealth Usability Questionnaire (TUQ), Telemedicine Satisfaction Questionnaire (TSQ), Telehealth Barriers Questionnaire (TBaQ and Telehealth Benefits Questionnaire (TBeQ). Results: As the age of individuals with MS increased, TUQ (r: -0.517, p < 0.001) and TBeQ (r: -0.383, p < 0.001) decreased, while TSQ (r: 0.405, p < 0.001) and TBaQ (r: 0.390, p < 0.001) increased. SymptoMScreen score (r: -0.288, p < 0.05) was weakly associated with TUQ. In addition, TUQ, TSQ, TBeQ, and TBaQ were strongly correlated (p < 0.001). Conclusion: In order to improve usability and satisfaction in telerehabilitation services, the age, symptom severity, and education levels of individuals with MS should be considered. Telehealth methods with high usability should be preferred to increase patient satisfaction.Öğe Performance-Based Outcome Measures in Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022) Ozden, Fatih; Tumturk, IsmetAims: To present a comprehensive report of the psychometric properties of performance-based outcome measures in older adults with Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). Methods: A literature search was carried out in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science electronic databases. The bias risk and methodological validity of the studies included in the study were analyzed using the four-point COSMIN tool. Results: The systematic review contained 16 articles. Intra-rater reliability was presented in nine studies, validity in nine studies, calculation error in nine studies, inter-rater reliability in four studies, and responsiveness analysis in five studies. The floor-ceiling effect was not stated in any of the experiments. Conclusion: The present systematic review demonstrated the quality and the evidence of physical performance-based outcome measures in TKA. All psychometric property analysis of studies has a poor, fair or good quality. Further studies should focus on inter-rater reliability, responsiveness, and floor-ceiling effect with higher sample size.Öğe Physical exercise intervention via telerehabilitation in patients with neurological disorders: a narrative literature review(Springer, 2022) Ozden, Fatih; Ozkeskin, Mehmet; Ak, Suleyman MertBackground In recent years, telerehabilitation applications have increased with the rapid development of mobile technology. Remote rehabilitation services have utmost importance in chronic neurological disorders. The aim of this narrative literature review was to discuss the physical exercise interventions via telerehabilitation in patients with neurological disorders. The literature search was conducted via PubMed using the neurological pathology terms in the MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) database. Physical exercise-based studies within the scope of neurological rehabilitation were included in the study. The contents of the studies were discussed with narrative synthesis. Results A total of 329 studies were obtained in the initial search. Twelve studies including cases of multiple sclerosis (MS), stroke, parkinson's disease, intracranial tumors, spinal-cord injury were interpreted. A vast majority of studies (50%) was conducted with stroke cases. On the other hand, half of the studies addressed the specific results of balance or balance-falling. The results of the studies were discussed comprehensively. Conclusion Physical exercise with telerehabilitation provides productive results to improve quality of life, muscle strength-endurance, hand function, balance, aerobic capacity in neurologic rehabilitation.
