Publication Validity and reliability of turkish version of the recent physical activity questionnaire(Çukurova Universitesi, 2021-01-01) Demircioğlu, Arzu; Dağ, Osman; Özkal, Özden; Özkal, Özden; ÖZKAL, ÖZDEN; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi.Purpose: Physical inactivity is an important determinant of chronic disease such as obesity, cardiovascular disease and certain types of cancer. Therefore, evaluation of physical activity becomes more important day by day. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the validity, reliability and Turkish version of The Recent Physical Activity Questionnaire (RPAQ) in healthy population.Materials and Methods: A total of 192 adults were included in the study. Standard "forward-backward" procedure used in translation of RPAQ. International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Long Form (IPAQ-LF) was used as the gold standard for the validity of RPAQ. It was re-adminestered on 50 participants one week interval for reliability of RPAQ analysis.Results: 122 (63.5%) were women, 70 (36.5%) were men of participants, and their mean age was 34.46 +/- 9.45 years. There was a high correlation between total score of IPAQ-LF and RPAQ (r: 0.747, p<0.001). When analysed validity for sub-scales, there was significant relationship between the subscales related to work and leisure activities while no significant relationship was found in scores for home and tranport domains. The test-retest reliability was showed that the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) (between 0.978 and 1) were significant for RPAQ.Conclusion: RPAQ is a valid and reliable tool for measuring physical activity in Turkish people. The Turkish version of the RPAQ is a powerful measurement for assessing the physical activity levels of adult individuals.Publication Lower limb functional status and its determinants in moderate/major burns 3-6 months following injury: A two-center observational study(Elsevier, 2021-05-07) Özkal, Özden; Seyyah, Mine; Topuz, Semra; Konan, Ali; ÖZKAL, ÖZDEN; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi/Fizyoterapi ve Rehabilitasyon Bölümü.; 0000-0002-8826-9930; Q-8729-2016Introduction: Severe complications which may cause impaired physical functionoften develops over time following severe burn to the lower extremities. The purpose of this study was to clarify the clinical determinants of lower limb functional status, functional mobility and exercise capacity in moderate/major burns 3-6 months following the injury.Methods: The study included 42 patients, 12 with moderate injury and 30 with major injury, aged 19-59 years old. Lower Limb Functional Index was used to determine the lower limb functional status. Functional mobility and exercise capacity were evaluated with the Timed Up and Go test and the 6-min walk test, respectively. Scar quality and kinesiophobia were assessed with the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) and the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia, respectively. Active range of motion (ROM) was measured with a universal goniometer.Results: Significant and independent predictors of lower limb functional status, functional mobility and exercise capacity related to POSAS score, kinesiophobia level, gender, burn severity, the number of operations, the presence of burnsinvolving any of the lower limb joints, knee ROM limitations, limitation in any of the lower limb joint ROMs, comorbidities, and truncal burns (p < 0.05).Conclusions: Burn characteristics and clinical evaluations of patients are important determinants of the lower limb functional status, mobility and exercise capacity in burn patients. These predictors should be considered to improve physical functions related to the lower limb when creating a personalized rehabilitation program.Publication Multiple factors affecting health-related quality of life in women with chronic multisite musculoskeletal pain: A cross-sectional study in ankara, turkey(Sage Publications Inc, 2021-09-27) Demircioğlu, Arzu; Özkal, Özden; Dağ, Osman; ÖZKAL, ÖZDEN; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi/Fizyoterapi ve Rehabilitasyon Bölümü; 0000-0002-8826-9930; Q-8729-2016Although chronic multi-site musculoskeletal pain is known to cause decreased physical function and impair work and social life, there is insufficient research about its impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in women. The aim of this study was to investigate multiple factors affecting HRQoL in women with chronic multi-site musculoskeletal pain. This study included 227 women with two or more musculoskeletal areas which were painful during the last 3 months. The HRQoL and musculoskeletal system symptoms were evaluated with the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) and the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ), respectively. Physical activity level, social functionality and depressive symptoms were assessed with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ- SF), Social Functioning Scale (SFS) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), respectively. Significant predictors for the total score on the NHP were found to be the number of children (p < 0.001), social engagement/withdrawal scale (p:0.094), the number of regions with musculoskeletal pain during the last year (p:0.002) and last 7 days (p:0.036), depressive symptoms (p < 0.001), current employment status (p:0.084), and the presence of chronic disease (p < 0.001). The results of this study demonstrated that both sociodemographic characteristics, and social and psychological factors may affect the HRQoL in women with chronic multi-site musculoskeletal pain.
