    Comparison of the effectiveness of isokinetic exercise vs isometric exercise performed at different angles in patients with knee osteoarthritis
    (Ios Press, 2020) Kilinc, Serdar; Kabayel, Derya D.; Ozdemir, Ferda
    BACKGROUND: Strengthening exercises help improve physical function and muscle strength in knee osteoarthritis (OA). However, optimal exercise programmes for treating knee OA remain unclear. OBJECTIVE: To compare efficacy of isometric exercises performed at different angles and isokinetic exercises in patients with knee OA. METHODS: Patients were randomly divided into two groups. For four weeks, Group I (n = 15) and II (n = 17) patients with grade 2-4 performed isokinetic and isometric exercises at several different angles, respectively. Flexor and extensor knee muscle strengths were measured. Pain and physical function were assessed using VAS, WOMAC, the Lequesne Index and SF-36. All parameters were recorded at three time points: baseline (T0), after treatment (T1) and at 10-week follow-up (T2). RESULTS: VAS on movement, WOMAC, Leuqesne and SF-36 physical scores improved from T0 to T2 within each group, but Grade 3 and Grade 4 patients in the Group I showed better results compared with Group II at T2. Isokinetic exercise yielded higher extensor PM values than its isometric counterpart at T2 (P < 0.05) at 180 degrees/s for Grade 2 and Grade 3 patients. CONCLUSIONS: Both isokinetic and isometric exercises were effective in the treatment of knee OA of all grades in terms of pain reduction and functional improvements. However, isokinetic exercise produced longer lasting effects than isometric exercise.

    From Pathology to Diagnosis: A Symptom-Free Patient with a Rheumatoid Nodule in the Foot
    (Turkish League Against Rheumatism, 2012) Tastekin, Ebru; Birtane, Murat; Kilinc, Serdar; Ciftdemir, Mert; Usta, Ufuk; Tastekin, Nurettin
    Subcutaneous rheumatoid nodules (RNs) are most commonly seen superficial soft tissue lesions which occur in 20-30% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The foot involvement is rare and only seen in about 1% of all rheumatoid nodules. In this article, we present a 39-year-old female case with a pathologically verified as RN in an uncommon localization with no clear clinical symptoms of RA at onset. The possible role of RNs in early RA was stressed in the patient presenting with inflammatory joint signs in the course of follow-up.
