Öğe Investigation of the relationship between kinesiophobia and sensory processing in fibromyalgia patients(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2020) Inal, Ozgu; Aras, Berke; Salar, SinemPurpose/aim: The aims of this study are to investigate the relationship between kinesiophobia and sensory processing in fibromyalgia (FM) patients and obtain new information about kinesiophobia in light of these results. Materials and methods: This study has been conducted with 82 literate subjects aged 18-65 years and diagnosed with FM based on ACR 2010 diagnostic criteria. Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire was used for measuring functional status in FM patients, The Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia was used for determine the levels of kinesiophobia and Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile was used for determine the characteristics of sensory process patterns of the individuals. Results: Among the participants, sensory sensitivity scores of 65.85% and sensation avoiding scores of 40.24% were higher than that in the general population. Sensation seeking scores of 48.78% the subjects were lower compared to the general population. A significant and weak positive correlation was found between the kinesiophobia scores and responses of sensory sensitivity and sensation avoiding (r = 0.23, p = 0.04; z = 0.29, p = 0.01) Conclusion: This is the first study conducted to investigate the relationship between kinesiophobia and sensory processing in fibromyalgia patients. However, different studies investigating this subject are warranted in order to be able to generalize the findings and increase the value of evidence.Öğe Response to Speech and Language Therapy According to Artery Involvement and Lesion Location in Post-stroke Aphasia(Elsevier, 2020) Aras, Berke; Inal, Ozgu; Kesikburun, Serdar; Yasar, EvrenPurpose: Aphasia is one of the most common complications after stroke and occurs in 21-38% of the patients during acute period. The present study aimed to investigate the response to speech and language therapy according to artery involvement and lesion location in patients with post-stroke aphasia. Method: The medical records of 107 patients with post-stroke aphasia (mean age, 58.8 +/- 14.8 years) who were admitted to a single rehabilitation center for usual care after stroke were reviewed. Location of the ischemic lesion and involved artery was determined assessing the brain MRI of the patients. All the patients received 24 sessions speech and language therapy (3 days a week) as a part of 8-week rehabilitation program. Evaluation of the aphasia was performed with Gulhane Aphasia Test-2 (GAT-2) at baseline and at the end of the rehabilitation program. Results: Baseline GAT-2 scores was significantly worse in patients with middle cerebral artery (MCA) involvement compared to patients with other artery involvements (p = 0.007). While the GAT-2 scores of patients with MCA involvement were improved significantly after speech and language therapy (p < 0.001), the changes in those with anterior cerebral artery (ACA) and posterior cerebral artery (PCA) involvements were not significant (p > 0.05). Conclusions: The present findings suggested that speech functions might be more affected in ischemic lesion of MCA and response to SLT might be better in patients with MCA involvement.
