Alt Ekstremiteye İlişkin Parametrelerin Mesane ve Bağırsak Fonksiyonları Üzerine Etkisi: Duchenne Musküler Distrofili Çocuklarda Bir İnceleme
ÖzGiriş ve amaç: Duchenne Musküler Distrofili (DMD) bireylerde mesane ve bağırsak fonksiyonları da etkilenmektedir. Çalışmamızda 5-12 yaş aralığında yürüme becerisi olan DMD’li çocuklarda alt ekstremite kas kuvvetinin, eklem hareket açıklığının (EHA), esneklik ve fonksiyonellik seviyesinin mesane ve bağırsak problemleri üzerindeki etkisini sağlıklı akranlarıyla karşılaştırarak incelenmesi amaçlandı.Gereç ve yöntemler: Çalışmaya, Grup 1: Sağlıklı çocuklar (n=12) ve Grup 2: DMD’li çocuklar (n=12) olmak üzere toplam 24 çocuk dahil edildi. Alt ekstremite kas kuvveti hand-held dinamometre cihazı ile, EHA gonyometre ile, esneklik otur-uzan testi ile, fonksiyonellik seviyesi “Çocuklar için Fonksiyonel Bağımsızlık Ölçümü (WeeFIM)” ile, mesane ve bağırsak fonksiyonları ise olan “Çocukluk Çağı Mesane ve Bağırsak Disfonksiyon Anketi (ÇÇMBDA)” ile değerlendirildi. Verilerin analizi basit doğrusal regresyon analizi ile gerçekleştirildi. Bulgular: Grup 1’de alt ektremite kas kuvvetlerinin ÇÇMBDA’ya ait toplam değer üzerinde negatif yönlü bir etkisi bulunurken (p0,05). Grup 1’de alt ekstremiteye ait fonksiyonellik parametrelerinin ÇÇMBDA’nın mesaneye ait değeri üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisi yok iken (p>0,05), Grup 2’de diz ekstansör kas kuvvetinin ve WeeFIM-kendine bakım alt parametresinin negatif yönlü anlamlı bir etkisi bulundu (p

Pelvik organ prolapsusu olan kadınlarda semptomatik rahatsızlık düzeyi ile temporomandibular ekleme ait parametrelerin ilişkisinin incelenmesi
Amaç: Çalışmamızın amacı, pelvik organ prolapsusu (POP) olan kadınlarda temporomandibular ekleme (TME) ait parametrelerin semptomatik rahatsızlık düzeyi üzerindeki etkisinin incelenmesidir. Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı epidemiyolojik araştırma olarak planlanan çalışmamıza, uzman bir hekim tarafından POP tanısı alan 50 kadın dâhil edildi. Katılımcıların POP’a ilişkin semptomatik rahatsızlık düzeyi “Pelvik Organ Prolapsusu Distres Envanteri-6 (POPDE-6)” ile değerlendirildi. TME’ye ait parametreler kapsamında masseter kası üzerindeki tetik nokta varlığı palpasyon yöntemi ile, TME’ye ait hareketlerin değerlendirilmesi cetvel ile, TME’nin fonksiyon kısıtlılığı ise “Çenenin Fonksiyon Kısıtlanma Skalası-20 (ÇFKS-20)” ile bir kereye mahsus olmak üzere değerlendirildi. İstatistiksel analiz, POPDE-6 bağımlı değişken, TME’ye ait parametreler ise bağımsız değişkenler olarak ele alınarak çoklu regresyon analizi ile gerçekleştirildi. Bulgular: ÇFKS-20’nin POPDE-6 üzerinde istatistiksel olarak pozitif yönde anlamlı bir etkisi (p=0,008, B=0,386); sol lateral hareketin ise POPDE-6 üzerinde negatif yönde anlamlı bir etkisi (p=0,012, B=-0,472) bulunurken, TME ait diğer parametrelerin POPDE-6 üzerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir etkisi bulunmadı (p>0,05). Sonuç: Çalışmamızın sonuçları, TME’ye ait parametrelerin POP’a ait semptomatik rahatsızlık düzeyi üzerinde farklı etkiler göstermesi nedeniyle, klinikte POP tanısı alan bireylerde TME’ye ait parametrelerin de değerlendirilmesinin gerekliliğini vurgulamaktadır.

Acute Effects of Passive and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) Stretching Techniques on Speed, Agility, and Explosive Strength in Youth Basketball Players: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the acute effects of static passive and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching techniques on agility, speed, and lower-extremity explosive power in youth basketball players. Methods: Twenty male basketball players were randomized as passive and PNF groups. A single session of passive or PNF stretching techniques was applied to each group on the hamstring, quadriceps and calf group muscles. Outcome measurements consisted of the T Agility Test for agility, the 30-Meter Sprint Test for speed, the Standing Long Jump Test and the Lateral Jump Test for lower-extremity explosive power. Results: In within-group comparisons, statistically significant improvements were found in the passive group in all tests (p0.05). In the PNF group, a significant improvement was found only in the T Agility Test in within-group comparisons (p=0.05). In the between-group comparison, no statistical difference was found between the two groups (p>0.05). Conclusion: In conclusion, static passive stretching before activity may have a greater effect on lower-extremity explosive power compared to PNF stretching. Additionally, PNF stretching improved agility, and did not cause any negative acute effects on speed and explosive strength. In the future, we think that conducting studies on how long the positive or negative acute effects of stretching techniques continue will be important for warm-up programs.

INVESTIGATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PRESSURE-PAIN THRESHOLD OF MASTICATORY MUSCLES AND NECK MUSCLES IN WOMEN WITH TEMPOROMANDIBULAR DISORDERS
Purpose: The aim of our study is to determine the relationship between the pain pressure threshold (PPT) of masticatory and the neck muscles in women with temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Methods: Twenty women diagnosed with myofascial TMD who were followed up at Istanbul University, Capa Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Total-Partial Prosthesis, between August 2019- November 2019, were included and data analysis of the cases was performed retrospectively. PPT values of the anterior temporal and masseter muscles as masticatory muscles, and the upper trapezius and sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscles as neck muscles were included in the study. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to provide statistical analysis of the data. Results: A statistically significant and positive correlation was found between the some PPT values of the masticatory and neck muscles (p

The effect of the ischaemic compression technique on pain and functionality in temporomandibular disorders: A randomised clinical trial
Background: Interventions addressing pain and impaired functionality in individuals with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are needed.Objective: To compare the effects of 4 weeks of exercise combined with ischaemic compression and exercise alone in patients with TMDs.Methods: Fifty patients who were diagnosed with TMDs were randomised into Group 1 (exercise combined with ischaemic compression technique) (n = 25) or Group 2 (exercise alone) (n = 25). Both groups performed 4 weeks of Rocabado's exercise and 3 weeks of postural exercise, while Group 1 received ischaemic compression to the masseter muscle for a total of 3 sessions in addition to exercise. A ruler was used to assess range of motion (ROM) (painless mouth opening (PMO), maximum mouth opening, maximum assisted mouth opening (MAMO), left lateral movement and right lateral movement), the visual analogue scale and graded chronic pain scale were used to assess pain, an algometer was used to determine the pain pressure threshold (PPT), and the 8‐item jaw functional limitation scale was used to assess, functionality. The assessments were performed at baseline, at week 1 and at week 4.Results: The participants in Group 1 exhibited larger PMO (F = 5.26, P = .02) and MAMO values (F = 6.71, P = .01) than did the patients in Group 2 at week 1. The effect size was small for MAMO (ES = 0.27) and moderate for PMO (ES = 0.51). However, there were no significant differences in any other outcomes between groups at week 1 or 4.Conclusion: In summary, this randomised controlled trial indicates that exercise combined with ICT and exercise alone have similar effects on ROM, pain, the PPT and functionality in patients with TMDs.
