Study Design: Case report. Introduction: Congenital radioulnar synostosis (CRUS) is a rare malformation that causes the restriction of the rotational movements of the forearm, and it is common in congenital elbow anomalies. Purpose of the Study: The aim of this case report was to present the results of physiotherapy in a patient with CRUS who did not undergo surgery. Methods: A 7-year-old male patient with CRUS began outpatient physical therapy. The child underwent a physiotherapy program for a total of 10 weeks in the presence of a physiotherapist, 2 days per week, and with a home schedule at other times. Observational posture asse . . .ssment, range of motion measurements of the upper extremities, the Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test, finger and hand grip strength, and Ca- nadian Occupational Performance Measure were used to evaluate the patient before and after the physiotherapy program. Results: An increase in Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test, Canadian Occupational Performance Measure, and grip strengths were found; however, there was no change in the range of motion values for our patient. Discussion: This report contains physiotherapy results of a patient with CRUS who did not undergo surgery. Further short- and long-term follow-up studies are needed to demonstrate the effects of physiotherapy on surgical and nonsurgical patients with CRUS. Conclusions: Physiotherapy can be effective in the functional use of the upper extremities in patients with CRUS who do not undergo surgery; long-term follow-up would demonstrate whether functional changes are permanent over time Daha fazlası Daha az

Pain involves a complex and comprehensive phenomenon with sensory, affective, cognitive and behavioral components. The control of pain has a key role in determining the quality of life in health. Pain has a detrimental effect on every aspect of the life of individuals, and produces anxiety and emotional distress, affects the general well-being negatively, inhibits the functional capacity, and inhibit the ability to perform family, social and vocational roles in daily life. Because of the broad based effects of pain, it significantly affects the physical, social and spiritual functions of the individuals and have an effect of diminis . . .hing the quality of life at all points. It has been reported that sleep quality, daily life activities, working ability and social interactions of patients who has moderate or severe pain were impaired. Pain and quality of life share several essential characteristics. Therefore, in this work the relationship between pain and quality of life is reviewed Daha fazlası Daha az

The Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) is a well-known, norm-referenced scale that evaluates the gross motor development of children from birth to 18 months. The aim of the study was to compare the Canadian norms with the AIMS scores of a Turkish sample of infants, and to investigate whether the current reference values of the AIMS are representative for Turkish full-term infants. The study was conducted with 411 Turkish infants of both sexes (195 girls and 216 boys), born with gestational age 38 weeks and older, weighing ≥2500 g at birth. Motor performance of all the cases at different ages were assessed with the AIMS which was used . . . by a physiotherapist. The mean AIMS scores of Turkish infants were compared with the norm values of the original AIMS established in a Canadian sample of infants. The results showed no statistically significant differences between the AIMS scores of Turkish and Canadian infants during the first 18 months of life except at 0 Daha fazlası Daha az

The acute effects of physiotherapy on general movement patterns in preterm infants: A single-blind study

Büşra KEPENEK VAROL

Makale/Derleme | 2019 | EARLY HUMAN DEVELOPMENT

Background: The General Movement Assessment (GMA) is a video analysis method developed by Heinz Prechtl that examines the infant's spontaneous movements. In recent years, although many studies have been performed in preterm infants by applying GMA, few studies have shown the effects of early intervention on GMA. Aims: Current study was planned to determine the acute effects of a single-session early physiotherapy approach on preterm infants' general spontaneous movements, and to reveal the change in Motor Optimality Scale (MOS) score including FMs. Study design: Prospective, single-blind study. Subjects: Current study was carried ou . . .t with 32 preterm infants at postterm 12–16 weeks. Outcome measures: The infants included in the study were videotaped by a physiotherapist during 10–15 min before the physiotherapy session at postterm 12–16 weeks for GMA. After a single physiotherapy session, the same physiotherapist performed the same video footage second time. A blind evaluator assessed the videos taken before and after session and scored Motor Optimality Scale (MOS). Results and conclusions: There was no statistically significant difference between MOS sub-category and total score of the infants before and after the session (p > 0.05). According to the results of present study, a single- session early physiotherapy intervention did not have an acute effect on the spontaneous movements of preterm infants at postterm 12–16 weeks. Future studies are needed to demonstrate the short and long-term effects of early physiotherapy approaches to risky infants Daha fazlası Daha az

Effects of inspiratory muscle and balance training in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy: A randomized controlled trial

The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of inspiratory muscle and balance training on pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength (RMS), functional capacity, and balance in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP). Thirty children with hemiplegic CP (Gross Motor Function Classification System I-II) included in this study. The control group (n = 15) underwent conventional physiotherapy rehabilitation program (CPRP) that included balance exercises, and the training group's (n = 15) program included inspiratory muscle training (IMT) in addition to CPRP for 8 weeks. The outcome measures were pulmonary function test, . . .RMS measurement, the six-minute walk test (6MWT), and balance tests. There were no significant differences in the score changes of pulmonary function, balance, and 6MWT distance between groups (p > .05), whereas maximum inspiratory and expiratory pressure further increased in the training group (p > .05). RMS assessment and the identification of children who need it, and adding IMT to CPRP will contribute greatly to the rehabilitative approach of children with CP Daha fazlası Daha az

Amaç: Down sendromu (DS), ciddi bir zihinsel engele sahip olmakla birlikte genel olarak fizyolojik ve fonksiyonel kısıtlılıklara yol açan gelişimsel bir bozukluktur. Daha çok musküloskeletal problemlerle ilişkili olan bu bozukluklar çoğunlukla göz ardı edilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, DS’li çocukların fiziksel aktivite ve performans düzeylerini incelemek ve tipik gelişim (TG) gösteren çocuklarla karşılaştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya 8-12 yaş arası 24 DS ve 24 TG gösteren çocuk dâhil edildi. Tüm çocukların antropometrik ölçümleri alındı. Fiziksel aktivite ve performans düzeyleriyle ilişkili olabilecek değerlendirmeler Be . . .ighton Hipermobilite Testi, Fiziksel Aktivite Soru Formu (FASF), 6 Dakika Yürüme Testi (6DYT), Otur Kalk Testi (OKT), Süreli Kalk Yürü Testi (SKYT) ile yapıldı ve hem sağ hem sol taraf gövde rotasyonları ölçüldü. 6DYT ile yürüme hızları hesaplandı. Bulgular: DS’li çocukların FASF, 6DYT, OKT, SKYT sonuçları, yürüme hızları TG gösteren çocuklarla karşılaştırıldığında düşük bulundu ( Daha fazlası Daha az
