Effects of inspiratory muscle training versus calf muscle training on quality of life, pain, venous function and activity in patients with chronic venous insufficiency
(Elsevier, 2022) Aydin, Gamze; Yeldan, Ipek; Akgul, Ahmet; Ipek, Gokhan; Fizyoterapi ve Rehabilitasyon / Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation
Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) and calf muscle exercise training (CMET), in addition to compression therapy (CT), on quality of life (QoL), venous refilling time, disease severity, pain, edema, range of motion, muscle strength, and functionality in patients with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) compared with CT alone. Methods: A total of 32 participants with a diagnosis of CVI were randomly divided into three groups: group 1, IMT plus CT; group 2, CMET plus CT; and group 3, CT alone. All 32 patients were assessed using the chronic venous disease QoL 20-item questionnaire, Nottingham health profile, photoplethysmography, venous clinical severity score, visual analog scale for pain, intraoral pressure measurements, dynamometer, digital goniometer, 6-minute walking test, and lower extremity functional scale. Results: After treatment, group 2 had improved more than had groups 1 and 3 in QoL, venous refilling time, pain, edema, range of motion, muscle strength, and functionality. Group 1 had improved more than had groups 2 and 3 in disease severity and inspiratory and expiratory muscle strength values (P < .05). Only physical mobility and right leg venous refilling time had increased in group 3 (P < .05). Conclusions: The use of IMT and CMET had improved venous function in both legs in patients with CVI, and CT alone had improved venous function only in the right leg of patients with CVI.

Functional evaluation of physical performance, gait, balance and activities of daily living in older individuals with long COVID syndrome
(Wiley, 2024) Kosel, Izzettin; Aydin, Gamze; Tascilar Uyanik, Lacin Naz; Fizyoterapi ve Rehabilitasyon / Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation
Objective: The aim of our study was to evaluate the physical performance, balance, gait and activities of daily living (ADL) of older individuals with long COVID syndrome (LCS). Methods: A total of 124 individuals (49% women) with a mean age of 71.8 +/- 5.8 years were included in the study. Participants were divided into two groups, older individuals with LCS in the LCS group and older individuals who were not diagnosed with COVID-19 in the CON (control) group. Physical performance of participants was evaluated with the Alusti Test, balance and gait assessment was evaluated with the Tinetti Balance and Gait Assessment (TBGA), and ADL were evaluated with the Barthel Index (BI). Results: In the evaluations between groups, the mean score of active muscular mobility of right and left upper extremities, transfer supine position to sitting, trunk in sitting position and standing, which are among the subparameters of the Alusti Test, were statistically significantly lower in LCS compared to CON (p < .05). TBGA total score and gait section mean score of TBGA were statistically significantly lower in LCS than in CON (p < .05). There was no significant difference between the groups in the balance section of the TBGA and the mean BI scores (p > .05). Conclusions: It was concluded that physical performance parameters related to active muscular mobility of the upper extremity, transfer supine position to sitting, trunk in sitting position and walking in LCS were negatively affected by the disease, but this did not affect the level of balance and independence in ADL.

The Turkish version of the childhood bladder and bowel dysfunction questionnaire (CBBDQ): Cross-cultural adaptation, reliability and construct validity
(Aves, 2020) Aydin, Gamze; van Engelenburg-van Lonkhuyzen, Marieke L.; Baktir, Seda; Mutlu, Ebru Kaya; Mutlu, Caner; de Bie, Rob A.; Fizyoterapi ve Rehabilitasyon / Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation
Background/Aims: Bladder and bowel dysfunctions are both prevalent health problems in pediatric population. The Childhood Bladder and Bowel Dysfunction Questionnaire (CBBDQ) is a parent-reported tool to evaluate and quantitatively assess bladder and bowel dysfunction symptoms in pediatric patients. This study aimed to translate the CBBDQ into Turkish language and culturally adapt it for use among 5-12-year-old children. Moreover, this study was also aimed to determine the reliability and the construct validity of the Turkish version. The main hypothesis of our study was that the CBBDQ would be translated into Turkish and culturally adapted so that Turkish parents could understand it. Additionally, we estimated that the Turkish version would have eventual internal consistency and test-reest reliability and admissible construct validity. Materials and Methods: The CBBDQ was translated into Turkish language as per the guidelines and given two times to the parents of children with one-week interval to assess the test-retest reliability. The internal consistency was determined using the Cronbach's a value and the test-retest reliability was calculated using the inter-rater correlation coefficient. In the estimation of the construct validity, he dysfunctional voiding and incontinence scoring system (DVISS) and the pediatric quality of life inventory (PedsQL) in 5-12-year-old children were used as the external criteria. Results: The participants were parents of 5-12-year-old children. The internal consistency was 0.83, that was the Cronbach's a value, which reflects a good result. The Turkish-CBBDQ5-12y and the DOSS showed a satisfactory correlation (r=0.64 p<0.001). There was no correlation between the Turkish-CBBDQ5-12y and the PedsQL -General Health and PedsQL -Psychological Health (r=-0.17, p=0.1 and r=0.12, p=0.25, respectively). Conclusion: The Turkish-CBBDQ5-12y is a reliable and valid instrument in terms of content and construction and can be safely used in clinical practice.
