Öğe Comparison of Nutritional Habits, Physical Activity Levels and Quality of Life among Normal Cognition Elderly Individuals Living in Nursing Homes or at Their Residence(Taiwan Soc Geriatric Emergency & Critical Care Medicine-Tsgecm, 2019) Duran, Sedef; Ozdinc, Sevgi; Celik, Ozge Mengi; Selcuk, Halit; Sonmez, Zehra SerayBackground: The process of ageing affects an individual's nutritional status, quality of life and physical activity level. This study aimed to compare these parameters among elderly individuals living either in nursing homes or at their residence. Methods: The study included 88 elderly individuals aged >= 65 years, 59 living at their residence and 29 in a official nursing home. The patients' sociodemographic characteristics, quality of life, physical activity levels, hand-grip strength and nutritional habits were evaluated. Results: The mean ages of those individuals living in nursing homes and at their own residence were 72.58 +/- 6.62 and 68.39 +/- 3.89 years, respectively. Those living in nursing homes skipped meals less frequently. Therefore, their energy and nutrient intake levels were significantly higher than in those living at their residence (p <0.05). Regarding quality of life, those living in nursing homes provided more favourable responses to questions regarding emotional role difficulties and social functioning subscales (p < 0.05). No difference was observed between the two groups in terms of physical activity levels and hand-grip strength (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Compared with those living at their residence, elderly individuals living in official nursing homes were less likely to skip meals and therefore had better energy and nutrient intake levels. They also demonstrated better quality of life in terms of social functioning subscales and emotional role difficulties.

Therefore, the physiotherapists and physiotherapy students must have adequate knowledge of scoliosis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the current knowledge of physiotherapists and physiotherapy students in Turkey on scoliosis. Methods: A previously designed questionnaire based on International Society on Scoliosis Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Treatment (SOSORT) guideline consists of two sections was used in this study. The first section included eight questions to evaluate the knowledge level on the definition, cause, development, prevalence, diagnosis, treatment, and bracing of scoliosis. The second section included three multiple-choice questions to analyze the participants' opinions on exercises for scoliosis. All Turkish universities offering physiotherapy degrees and graduated physiotherapists from certain social media groups were invited to participate in the study. Results: 649 physiotherapists and 497 students completed the questionnaire. Scoliosis is recognized as a 3-dimensional deformity of the spine by 39.8% of the students and 57.2% of the physiotherapists. Only 19.5% of the students and 30.7% of the physiotherapists correctly identified the diagnostic criteria for scoliosis. For therapeutic exercise, 48.7% of the students and 61.3% percent of the physiotherapists identified the appropriate approach, and also 57.3% of the students and 62.6% of the physiotherapists correctly identified the bracing recommendations. Conclusion: Results of this study showed that physiotherapists and physiotherapy students do not have sufficient knowledge of scoliosis. Action needs to be taken to improve the awareness and basic knowledge level of scoliosis.Öğe Do self-reported knee instability, difficulty twisting, and knee confidence change after exercise and education in patients with knee osteoarthritis?(Wiley, 2024) Selcuk, Halit; Roos, Ewa M.; Gronne, Dorte T.; Thorlund, Jonas B.; Sari, Zubeyir; Skou, Soren T.[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Evaluation of vestibular functions and balance in Edirne Band musicians(Ios Press, 2021) Selcuk, Halit; Ozdinc, Sevgi; Karahan, Menekse; Kayatekin, Ayse Zeynep Yilmazer; Ulucam, EnisBACKGROUND: It has been found that intense noise may affect the peripheral vestibular system and consequently causes problems in balance mechanisms. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of exposure to chronic noise on vestibular functions and balance in Edirne Band musicians. METHODS: Twenty-two individuals working in the Edirne Band for at least 5 years and a control group of 22 individuals working at Trakya University with similar sociodemographic characteristics were included. The socio-demographic questionnaire was used to inquire about the demographic characteristics of individuals, the ABC Scale to assess how they felt about the balance, and the DHI to determine the quality of life related to dizziness. A 3D ultrasonic system was used to assess the static and dynamic balance of the individuals. RESULTS: There was a statistically significant difference between the band and the control group in terms of longitudinal deviation and self-spin parameters of the Unterberger test, dizziness handicap inventory scores, functional balance according to activity-specific balance confidence scale (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: As a result of our study, it has been shown that the balance, quality of life and vestibular system functions are negatively affected in the band exposed to noise for a long time.Öğe Individuals with a COVID-19 history exhibit asymmetric gait patterns despite full recovery(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2022) Keklicek, Hilal; Selcuk, Halit; Kurt, Ilke; Ulukaya, Sezer; Ozturk, GulnurCOVID-19 is a multisystem infectious disease affecting the body systems. Its neurologic complications include -but are not limited to headache, loss of smell, encephalitis, and cerebrovascular accidents. Even though gait analysis is an objective measure of the neuro-motor system and may provide significant information about the pathophysiology of specific diseases, no studies have investigated the gait characteristics in adults after full recovery from COVID-19. This was a cross-sectional, controlled study that included 12 individuals (mean age, 23.0 +/- 4.1 years) with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 history (COVD) and 20 sedentary controls (CONT; mean age, 24.0 +/- 3.6 years). Gait was evaluated using inertial sensors on a motorized treadmill. Spatial-temporal gait parameters and gait symmetry were calculated by using at least 512 consecutive steps for each participant. The effect-size analyses were utilized to interpret the impact of the results. Spatial-temporal gait characteristics were comparable between the two groups. The COVD group showed more asymmetrical gait patterns than the CONT group in the double support duration symmetry (p = 0.042), single support duration symmetry (p = 0.006), loading response duration symmetry (p = 0.042), and pre-swing duration symmetry (p = 0.018). The effect size analyses of the differences showed large effects (d = 0.68-0.831). Individuals with a history of mild-to-moderate COVID-19 showed more asymmetrical gait patterns than individuals without a disease history. Regardless of its severity, the multifaceted long-term effects of COVID-19 need to be examined and the scope of clinical follow-up should be detailed.Öğe Temporomandibular joint disorder determined by Fonseca anamnestic index and associated factors in 18-to 27-year-old university students(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2020) Ozdinc, Sevgi; Ata, Hilal; Selcuk, Halit; Can, Hilal Basak; Sermenli, Nimet; Turan, Fatma NesrinObjective The aim of this study was to investigate temporomandibular disorder (TMD) and associated risk factors. Methods This study was conducted using 212 university students. Based on the Fonseca anamnestic index, the population was divided into two groups: those with TMD and those without TMD. The two groups were compared in terms of global body posture, craniohorizontal and craniovertebral angles, neck and temporomandibular joint range of motion, stress level, and sleep quality. Results Stress level, sleep quality, and left cervical rotation were found to have statistical differences between the groups (p = 0.00, 0.00, and 0.046, respectively). Sleep quality and stress level were found to be important risk factors for the presence of TMD (p = 0.017 and 0.00, respectively). Discussion In the prevention and treatment of TMD, a holistic approach that evaluates mechanical factors and psychosocial factors should be adopted.Öğe Thoracal motion-based analysis of breathing patterns in individuals with a mild-moderate Covid-19 history using machine learning techniques: A single blinded multidisciplinary study on post-Covid(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2024) Kurt, Lke; Selcuk, Halit; Ulukaya, Sezer; Ozturk, Guelnur; Keklicek, HilalBackground: Covid-19 led to deaths worldwide and left significant sequelae in a lot of people. Thoracic movements are important for the proper functioning of the respiratory system. However, there is no study on how the thoracic mobility of individuals who have recovered fully from Covid-19 is affected. Methods: In this study, the differences between thorax movements of healthy individuals and individuals with Covid-19 were investigated from a multidisciplinary perspective for the first time. Spontaneous and deep breathing data under two (at sitting- at standing) different conditions were collected and analyzed. In terms of engineering, using the Boruta feature selection method and various machine learning algorithms, discriminative features that will benefit clinically were determined. Clinically, the effect of Covid-19 was examined statistically in terms of respiratory biomechanics with thoracal motion-based analysis of 22 individuals. Results: The use of Boruta in sitting and standing positions during deep breathing increased the classification performance. In spontaneous breathing, using Boruta only in the sitting position provided an increase in classification performance achieving an accuracy of 95.45 %. The results of the study showed that respiratory movements of the thoracic cage in the anteroposterior and craniocaudal directions were more restricted and had weaker respiratory acceleration skills in individuals with a Covid-19 history (p < 0.05). Conclusion: From a clinical point of view, it was observed that the respiratory acceleration movements were restricted in individuals with a Covid-19 history even though full recovery. Also, it was revealed that machine learning models can classify with high performance in situations requiring effort.
