Publication The impact of whole body vibration therapy on spasticity and disability of the patients with poststroke hemiplegia(Hindawi Ltd, 2018-01-01) ALP, ALEV; Alp, Alev; Efe, Bilge; Adalı, Mihriban; Bilgiç, Adnan; Türe, Sevda Demir; DEMİR TÜRE, SEVDA; Karabulut, Merve; Coşkun, Feyma; Günay, Selim Mahmut; Ertem, Uğur; ERTEM, UĞUR; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Fizik Tedavi ve Rehabilitasyon Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0003-2142-2264; 0000-0002-7550-5244; ABG-2019-2020; AAD-2089-2021Objective. To determine if whole body vibration therapy (WBV) effectively improves functional outcome in patients with poststroke hemiplegia. Materials and Methods. In this single-blind RCT, WBV group (n = 10) had 40 hz frequency/4 mm amplitude vibration during 5 minutes/session, 3 days a week, for a duration of 4 weeks. The control group (n = 11) had no vibration therapy for the same duration while standing on the same platform. Patients in both of the groups did 15 minutes of stretching and active range of motion exercises before the intervention. Outcome measures were Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), Functional Independence Measurement (FIM), and Timed 10-Meter Walk Test (10 mWT). Results. Only 10 mWT improved at the 1st week (p = 0.002), 1st month (p < 0.001), and 3rd month (p < 0.001) in favor of the intervention group. There was positive correlation also between 10 mWT and ankle spasticity (p < 0.001, r = 0.931). Conclusion. This study suggests that WBV therapy may be a complementary therapy in gait rehabilitation and functional outcome of the patients with calf muscle spasticity.Publication Kinesiophobia and related factors in fibromyalgia syndrome(Galenos Yayıncılık, 2023-04-01) Ertem, Uğur; Alp, Alev; ERTEM, UĞUR; ALP, ALEV; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Fiziksel Tıp ve Rehabilitasyon Anabilim Dalı; 0000-0003-2142-2264; AAD-2089-2021; EKZ-2544-2022Objective: This study aimed to determine the kinesiophobia levels in female patients with fibromyalgia (FMS). In addition, we intended to search the factors associated with kinesiophobia in patients with FMS and to evaluate the effect of kinesiophobia on work outcomes in this patient population.Materials and Methods: Between January 2021 and May 2021, 50 female patients with FMS and 44 female patients with musculoskeletal pain but not meeting the diagnostic criteria for FMS were included in the study. Pain was evaluated using the numeric scale, kinesiophobia levels with the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK), and the work outcomes with a questionnaire form prepared by us.Results: The median TSK scores were 41,50 (21-61) in the FMS group and 37 (23-61) in the control group. TSK score was significantly higher in the FMS group (p=0.030). Pain scores (p<0.001), and symptom duration (p<0.001) were significantly associated with high levels of kinesiophobia. When multiple linear regression analysis was performed, it was found that body mass index (p=0.411) was not associated with kinesiophobia levels, whereas age (p<0.001) was associated with kinesiophobia levels. Increased levels of kinesiophobia in patients with FMS patients have been associated with worse work outcomes.Conclusion: Evaluating the level of kinesiophobia in patients with FMS and developing preventive strategies in the presence of kinesiophobia can provide useful information when creating a treatment program.Publication Youtube as a source of information on piriformis syndrome exercises(Bayçınar Tıbbı Yayıncılık, 2023-01-01) Ertem, Uğur; Özçakır, Sueheda; İrdesel, Fatma Jale; Günay, Selim Mahmut; ERTEM, UĞUR; ÖZÇAKIR, ŞÜHEDA; İRDESEL, FATMA JALE; Günay, Selim Mahmut; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Fiziksel Tıp ve Rehabilitasyon Anabilim Dalı; 0000-0003-2142-2264; 0000-0002-1456-9121; 0000-0002-7550-5244; AAD-2089-2021; JVA-8378-2023; DVJ-8547-2022; EZL-5296-2022Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the quality and reliability of the most viewed YouTube videos on piriformis syndrome (PS) exercises and identify criteria that may be important for selecting high-quality and reliable videos. Materials and methods: We searched for the keywords "piriformis syndrome exercise," "piriformis syndrome rehabilitation," "piriformis syndrome physical therapy," and "piriformis syndrome physiotherapy" on November 28, 2021. The modified DISCERN (mDISCERN), and the Global Quality Score were used to evaluate the quality and reliability of the videos. Results: Of the 92 videos evaluated, most (58.7%) of the videos were shared by healthcare professionals. The median mDISCERN score was 3, and most of the videos were found to be medium or low quality. Videos with more subscribers (p=0.001), a shorter upload duration (p=0.001), videos uploaded by physicians (p=0.004), and videos uploaded by other healthcare professionals (p=0.001) were found to have high reliability. Conversely, videos uploaded by independent users were found to have low reliability (p<0.001). When the parameters of the videos were compared among the quality groups, significant differences were found in all video features (p<0.05), some upload sources (other healthcare professionals and independent users; p=0.001), and mDISCERN scores (p<0.001). Conclusion: It is beneficial for physicians and other health professionals to upload more videos about health to increase the amount of reliable and high-quality information.Publication Youtube as a source of information on piriformis syndrome exercises(Bayçınar Medikal Yayın, 2022-07-27) Ertem, Uğur; Özçakır, Şüheda; İrdesel, Fatma Jale; Günay, Selim Mahmut; ERTEM, UĞUR; ÖZÇAKIR, ŞÜHEDA; İRDESEL, FATMA JALE; Günay, Selim Mahmut; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Fizik Tedavi ve Rehabilitasyon Bölümü; 0000-0003-2142-2264; 0000-0002-1456-9121; AAD-2089-2021; AAH-5375-2021; DVJ-8547-2022; JJQ-6978-2023Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the quality and reliability of the most viewed YouTube videos on piriformis syndrome (PS) exercises and identify criteria that may be important for selecting high-quality and reliable videos.

This study, aimed to determine the level of health literacy and the factors related health literacy in patients aged 65 years and over who applied to the outpatient clinic. Materials and Methods: This single-center, descriptive study was conducted between December 1, 2020, and April 31, 2021. A total of 98 patients aged 65 years and over who applied to the physical therapy and rehabilitation outpatient clinic due to musculoskeletal problems were included in the study. We assessed the patients' age, sex, education level, monthly income, marital status, and frequency of hospital admission in the last 3 months, determined patients health literacy levels, and examined the relationship between them. The Turkish Health Literacy Scale was used to evaluate patients health literacy. Results: The mean The Turkish Health Literacy Scale index score of the participants in the study was 27.92 +/- 7.53. The increase in health literacy level was statistically significant among the young aged, with high monthly income, and high education level (p 0.001). There was no statistically significant relationship between gender, marital status, frequency of admission to hospital in the last 3 months and health literacy (p 0.05). Conclusion: We determined that the level of health literacy was low in older adult patients. Informing these patients regarding this issue and improving their health literacy levels is important to ensure a more efficient use of health services.Publication Transient radial nerve paralysis after a lateral epicondylitis injection: A case-based review(Galenos Yayıncılık, 2021-08-01) Ertem, Uğur; İrdesel, Fatma Jale; ERTEM, UĞUR; İRDESEL, FATMA JALE; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Uluslararası Tıp ve Rehabilitasyon Anabilim Dalı; 0000-0003-2142-2264; 0000-0002-1456-9121; AAD-2089-2021; DVJ-8547-2022Lateral epicondylitis is a painful tendinosis of the lateral epicondyle of the humerus, which is the attachment site for the wrist extensor muscles and tendons. It is most commonly caused by repetitive gripping or wrist extension. Moreover, lateral epicondylitis is one of the most common causes of elbow flank pain in adults. While most patients respond to conservative treatment, surgical treatment is used in some patients. In this study, we reviewed the case of a 68-year-old man who presented to the clinic with elbow pain. In this patient with lateral epicondylitis, who had not responded to various conservative treatments, 0.5 cc prilocaine hydrochloride and 1 cc triamcinolone hexacetonide were injected in the left elbow lateral epicondyle tendon adhesion area. After the injection, the patient's second, third and fourth fingers dropped. Further, the patient was diagnosed with radial nerve paralysis, and his hand was properly splinted. After 72 hours, in the follow-up to reevaluate the patient's muscle strength, it was observed that the patient's complaints after the injection resolved. This review focuses on the treatment methods of lateral epicondylitis and on complications that occur after a lateral epicondyle injection in the context of a case of transient radial nerve paralysis after a very common type of injection.
