Öğe Effect of Kinesio taping on elbowmuscle strength in healthy individuals: A randomized trial(Ios Press, 2017) Karahan, Ali Y.; Yildirim, Pelin; Kucuksarac, Seher; Ordahan, Banu; Turkoglu, Gozde; Soran, Neslihan; Ozen, Kemal E.INTRODUCTION: The effect of the application of kinesiotape on muscle strength is still uncertain. This trial represents the first randomized-controlled trial to investigate the immediate and delayed effects of kinesiotape application on triceps muscle strength in healthy subjects. METHOD: The trial was randomized and placebo-controlled. Young adult (18-35 years of age), healthy men were randomly assigned in a 1: 1 ratio to either a kinesiotape group or a sham tape for the control group. Y-shaped kinesiotape was applied to the triceps muscle in the sitting position. I-shaped tape was used for the control group, and the sham tape was placed horizontally on the triceps muscle. A hand-held digital dynamometer was used to evaluate the peak force of elbow extension and flexion. Assessments were carried out before taping, an hour after taping, and after the first week. RESULTS: The mean ages of the participants in the kinesiotape and control groups were 26.2 +/- 4.8 and 26.7 +/- 4.8, respectively. The mean values of the peak force before taping, after the first hour, and after first week were statistically analyzed using one-way repeated measures. No statistical significance was found for in-group analysis of either the kinesiotape group or the control group (p > 0.05). In addition, there was no statistical significance in the between-group assessments (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: The triceps muscle is appropriate for studying the effects of kinesiotape on muscle strength because elbow extension is provided by only one fusiform-shaped muscle. The results of this study did not show any significant changes in immediate or delayed muscle strength according to the initial measurements and between-group assessments.Öğe The effect of proprioception exercises on functional status in patients with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction(Ios Press, 2015) Ordahan, Banu; Kucuksen, Sami; Tuncay, Ibrahim; Salli, Ali; Ugurlu, HaticeOBJECTIVE: To evaluate knee proprioception in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries and to assess the effectiveness of an exercise program consisting mainly of proprioception exercises addressing pain, proprioception, and functional status following ACL reconstruction. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty male patients, diagnosed with unilateral ACL injury and scheduled for reconstruction, participated in the study along with 16 age-and sex-matched healthy volunteers. Arthroscopic reconstruction of the ACL using autologous hamstring tendon was performed in every case by the same surgeon. After the operation, a six-month rehabilitation program was initiated. Knee proprioception, pain, and functional status were evaluated before and six months after the reconstruction. An isokinetic dynamometer was used to evaluate proprioception and a visual analog scale (VAS) and the Tegner Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale were used to evaluate pain and functional status respectively. RESULTS: Preoperative proprioception loss was detected on the patients' injured side when compared to the uninjured side and to healthy volunteers (p = 0.00). A significant improvement was found in pain severity, proprioception, and functional capacity after the postoperative six-month rehabilitation program (p = 0.00). CONCLUSION: Preoperative proprioception loss was detected in ACL-injured patients. The rehabilitation program predominantly consisting of proprioception exercises provided considerable improvement on knee proprioception and functional status.Öğe Effectiveness of kinesiotaping in pregnant women with sacroiliac joint pain: A randomised controlled study(Wiley-Hindawi, 2021) Ordahan, Banu; Horasanl, Jule EricAim Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) dysfunction is an especially common cause of pain during pregnancy. Treatment options during pregnancy are very limited in order to reduce pain and increase the quality of life. We aimed to determine the efficacy of kinesiotaping (KT) in the treatment of SIJ pain in pregnant women. Methods A total of 50 pregnant women with SIJ pain were included in the study. Patients were randomised into two groups as KT and sham KT groups. Women in the KT group underwent a total of 5 weeks of KT once per week; the sham KT group also underwent 5 weeks of KT applications, but without tension in the kinesiotape. Patients were assessed before and 5 weeks after the treatment with a visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain and the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) and Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire (PGQ) for disability and quality of life. Results The KT and sham KT groups were similar in terms of age, parity, gravidas, gestational week and body mass index. At the beginning of the study, there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in their VAS, RMDQ or PGQ scores. Five weeks later, the KT group showed significant improvement in all parameters, but no significant differences were observed for the sham KT group in terms of VAS, RMDQ or PGQ. Conclusions KT treatment improved the pain levels, functioning and quality of life among pregnant women with SIJ pain.Öğe Effects of high-intensity laser therapy on pain, functional status, hand grip strength, and median nerve cross-sectional area by ultrasonography in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome(Springer London Ltd, 2023) Yigit, Fatih; Ordahan, BanuThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of high intensity laser therapy (HILT) on pain, functional status, hand grip strength, and median nerve cross-sectional area by ultrasonography in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. Sixty patients who were diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome were included in the study. The patients observed during the research were randomly divided into two groups with 30 patients in each group. Splint+ exercise and HILT (pulsed mode with a power of 8.0 W and energy density of 8 J/cm(2) for 1.40 minutes for every 25 cm(2), continuous mode with a power of 3.0 W and energy density of 80 J/cm(2) for 11 minutes for each 25 cm(2); total 10 sessions 5 days a week) were applied for 2 weeks for the first group, and splint+exercise and sham laser treatment were applied for 2 weeks for the second group. Randomization was undertaken with the assistance of a computer-generated random number table before beginning the treatment processes. The patients were evaluated with the determined scales before the treatment, at the end of the treatment, and at the 3rd month. Hydraulic hand dynamometer was used to measure hand grip strength, visual analog scale (VAS) for pain, Boston CTS Questionnaire to assess function, and ultrasonography to measure median nerve cross-sectional area. The impact of time on the change in VAS levels was found to be of statistical significance within each group of patients (p<0.001), but between-group comparisons did not yield significant results (p<0.454). The effects of time on variations in Boston CTS Questionnaire scores were found to have been of statistical significance for both groups (p<0.001), but significance was not subsequently observed when the results of the two groups were compared on a between-group basis (p=0.226 and p=0.973 for the FSS and SSS, respectively). While time had a statistically significant effect on the change in hand grip strength for both groups (p=0.000), between-group comparisons statistical significance finding in favor of HILT was found in the early period (p=0.012). The time-group association patterns of the groups showed significant difference (p=0.025). While time had a statistically significant effect on the changes in the median cross-sectional areas of the nerve for the patients of both treatment groups (p<0.001), between-group comparisons yielded no findings of statistical significance (p=0.438). The time-group relationship patterns of the groups were found to reflect statistical significance (p=0.001). In conclusion, the results of the research presented here have confirmed that hand grip strength may increase and the median nerve's cross-sectional area may decrease upon the application of high-intensity laser for individuals experiencing CTS. However, this effect was demonstrated here only in the short-term and the evidence was not maintained through the course of follow-up of a longer duration.Öğe Efficacy of low-level laser versus high-intensity laser therapy in the management of adhesive capsulitis: A randomized clinical trial(Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2023) Ordahan, Banu; Yigit, Fatih; Mulkoglu, CevriyeBackground: Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) are effective in alleviating pain and improving functionality in patients with adhesive capsulitis (AC); however, no study has compared the efficacy of these two laser treatments.Objective: To compare the effectiveness of LLLT and HILT in improving the shoulder joint range of motion and functional status and in reducing pain level in patients with AC.Trial Design: Prospective, randomized, parallel group, patient- and assessor-blinded.Methods: A total of 45 patients (aged: 18-65 years) with complaint of shoulder pain were evaluated for inclusion criteria, which included being aged 18-65 years and a diagnosis of AC based on physical examinations. Using computer-generated random numbers, eligible patients were randomized into two groups: HILT + stretching exercise and LLLT + stretching exercise groups. Both HILT and LLLT were performed three times/week for 3 weeks. Functional status and pain of the patients were evaluated with Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS), while shoulder joint range of motion was measured with goniometry. All assessments were done before and 3 weeks after treatment.Results: A total of 40 patients (20 in each group) completed the study. At baseline, there was no statistically significant difference in the demographic and clinical characteristics between both groups. Both the LLLT and HILT groups showed significant improvement in the VAS and SPADI scores 3 weeks after treatment; however, the improvement was significantly higher in the HILT group than the LLLT group. There was no significant improvement in goniometric scores in both groups compared with baseline. No injury or other musculoskeletal complications were recorded during or after the treatments.Conclusion: HILT + stretching exercise treatment was more effective than LLLT + stretching exercise for improving functional parameters and pain in patients with AC.Öğe Efficacy of peloidotherapy in unilateral plantar fasciitis: A pilot study(Baycinar Medical Publ-Baycinar Tibbi Yayincilik, 2021) Karaarslan, Fatih; Ordahan, BanuObjectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of peloidotherapy on pain, functional status, and quality of life (QoL) in patients with unilateral plantar fasciitis (PF). Patients and methods: This prospective, observational pilot study included a total of 80 patients (13 males, 67 females; mean age: 47.7 +/- 9.9 years; range, 28 to 68 years) with a diagnosis of unilateral PF between April 2018 and October 2018. The patients were divided into two equal groups. The study group (n=40) received peloidotherapy (five days per week for two weeks, total of 10 sessions) + Achilles tendon and plantar fascia stretching exercises (self-stretching for two weeks twice per day for 30 sec, 10 repeats) + heel cup treatment. The control group (n=40) received Achilles tendon and plantar fascia stretching exercises + heel cup treatment. The patients were evaluated before and after treatment using the Visual Analog Scale-pain (VAS-pain), Foot and Ankle Outcome Scores (FAOS), and Heel Tenderness Index (HTI). Results: The study group showed statistically significant improvements for all parameters after treatment compared to baseline (p<0.05). Control group showed statistically significant improvements in the VAS-pain, HTI, and FAOS-QoL subscales after treatment compared to baseline (p<0.05). The study group had a better improvement in the VAS-pain, FAOS-pain, and FAOS-work daily life subscales than the control group (p<0.05). Conclusion: These results indicate that peloidotherapy may be effective in reducing pain and improving functional status and QoL for patients with unilateral PF.Öğe Evaluation of Sexual Dysfunction in Females With Ankylosing Spondylitis(2016) Akkurt, Halil Ekrem; Yılmaz, Halim; Yılmaz, Sema; Parlak, Lütfiye; Ordahan, Banu; Sallı, AliObjectives: This study aims to evaluate sexual function in females with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), compare them with healthy controls, and demonstrate the effects of AS on female sexual functions.Patients and methods: Fifty-four AS patients (mean age 39.33±8.57 years; range 20 to 55 years) and 56 similar aged healthy controls were included in the study. Depression levels and sexual functions of all participants were evaluated by the Beck Depression Inventory and Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), respectively. Other assessment methods included the visual analog scale for pain, fatigue, and importance of sexual life; Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index for disease activity, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index for functionality, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index for spinal mobility, and Short Form-36 (SF-36) for quality of life.Results: Total FSFI and all FSFI subscale scores and number of weekly sexual intercourse were significantly lower while Beck Depression Inventory score was significantly higher in females with AS when compared to controls. In AS patients with depression, total FSFI score and FSFI subscales scores of desire and arousal were significantly lower than those without depression. In females with AS, there were negative correlations between total FSFI score and duration of complaint, Beck Depression Inventory score, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index score, visual analog scale score, age, and duration of marriage while positive correlations existed between total FSFI score and visual analog scale importance of sexual life score and number of weekly sexual intercourse, SF-36 fatigue, SF-36 social function, SF-36 pain, and SF-36 mental component scores.Conclusion: Sexual dysfunction was more common in female AS patients without marked impairment in body image and hip involvement when compared to normal population. Sexual problems which are generally neglected should be handled regardless of disease activity when evaluating patients with AS and establishing a treatment plan.Öğe Evaluation of the effect of high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) on function, muscle strength, range of motion, pain level, and femoral cartilage thickness in knee osteoarthritis: randomized controlled study(Springer London Ltd, 2023) Ekici, Burak; Ordahan, BanuThis study was designed as a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled study. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) on pain, range of motion, function, muscle strength, and femoral cartilage thickness in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Sixty patients who were admitted between November 2021 and April 2022 and diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis based on anamnesis, physical examination, and imaging methods were included in the study. The patients observed during the research were randomly divided into two groups with 30 patients in each group. Hotpack, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), exercise (5 days a week for a total of 15 sessions), and HILT (analgesic mode with a power of 10.0 w, energy density of 12 j/cm2, and 2 min for every 25 cm(2), biostimulant mode with a power of 5.0 W, energy density of 120 j/cm(2), and 10 min for each 25 cm(2); total 9 sessions 3 days a week) were applied for 3 weeks for the first group, and hot pack, TENS, exercise (5 days a week for a total of 15 sessions), and sham laser treatment (0 W total 9 sessions 3 days a week) was applied for 3 weeks for the second group. The patients were evaluated with the determined scales before the treatment, at the end of the treatment, and at the third month. A goniometer was used to measure joint range of motion measurement, a visual analog scale (VAS) for pain, WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index to assess pain and function, Biodex System 3 isokinetic device for knee flexion-extension muscle strength measurement, and ultrasonography to measure femoral cartilage thickness. There was no statistically significant difference in VAS, range of motion, WOMAC, muscle strength, and femoral cartilage thickness measurement between the groups, whether before treatment, after treatment or at the third-month follow-up (p > 0.05). There was a statistically significant decrease in pain intensity, an increase in flexion range of motion, WOMAC, and femoral cartilage thickness in both groups (p < 0.005). A statistically significant increase was found in the average peak torque flexion muscle strength measurements at isokinetic 60(degrees)/s angular velocities in the post-treatment and third-month checkup compared to the pre-treatment analysis in both groups (p < 0.05). In conclusion, there was no statistically significant difference between HILT + exercise and placebo laser + exercise observed. However, the exercise program performed under the supervision of a physiotherapist has been shown to be effective in improving all parameters.Öğe An important cause of pes planus: the posterior tibial tendon dysfunction(Pagepress Publ, 2015) Erol, Kemal; Karahan, Ali Yavuz; Kerimoglu, Ulku; Ordahan, Banu; Tekin, Levent; Sahin, Muhammed; Kaydok, ErcanPosterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD) is an important cause of acquired pes planus that frequently observed in adults. Factors that play a role in the development of PTTD such as age-related tendon degeneration, inflammatory arthritis, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity, peritendinous injections and more rarely acute traumatic rupture of the tendon. PTT is the primary dynamic stabilizer of medial arch of the foot. Plantar flexion and inversion of the foot occurs with contraction of tibialis posterior tendon, and arch of the foot becomes elaveted while midtarsal joints are locked and midfoot-hindfoot sets as rigid. Thus, during the walk gastrocnemius muscle works more efficiently. If the PTT does not work in the order, other foot ligaments and joint capsule would be increasingly weak and than pes planus occurs. We present a 10-yearold female patient diagnosed as PTTD and conservative treatment with review of the current literature.Öğe Osteomalacia due to Vitamin D Deficiency: A Case Report(Galenos Yayincilik, 2020) Ordahan, Banu; Uslu, Kaan; Ugurlu, HaticeOsteomalacia is a metabolic bone disease characterized by demineralization of the newly formed osteoid in adults.

(Türk Osteoporoz Dergisi 2015;21: 5-9)Öğe Polypharmacy in Osteoporosis Patients(Galenos Yayincilik, 2015) Karahan, Yavuz Ali; Basaran, Aynur; Ordahan, Banu; Yildirim, Pelin; Kucuksarac, Seher; Oktar, Suleyman; Soran, NeslihanObjective: In this study, it was aimed to determine the rates of multiple drug use in the patients with osteoporosis as well as the use of drugs affecting bone metabolism and balance. Materials and Methods: We included outpatients from Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Policlinics diagnosed with primary or secondary osteoporosis between January 2014 and May 2014. Written consent of the participants was obtained. Data of the first 1000 patients who agreed to participate in the study were evaluated. Data regarding age, history, drugs currently being used and newly initiated were recorded. The drugs that affect bone metabolism were determined. The drugs that heva side effects including dizziness, somnolence, distractibility, decrease in the visual acuity, orthostatic hypotension and ototoxicity and were recorded because these can cause a balance disorder. Results: In this study, 64% of the participants were on five or more drugs. The most commonly used drugs were analgesics (65.4%), anti-hypertensives (52.6%), and drugs for digestive system (37.3%). We found that 65.5% of the participants were using drugs that may have side effects on bone metabolism and 93.7% were using drugs that may have side effects on balance. Conclusion: Multi-drug use and drug interactions should be considered during the treatment of osteoporosis and the drugs used should be recorded. Drugs that affect bone metabolism should only be used over the short term. Also, patients should be informed about side effects that might affect visuality, somatosensorial system and vestibular system and their daily activities should be regulated.Öğe Short-Term Efficacy Comparison of High-Intensity and Low-Intensity Laser Therapy in the Treatment of Lateral Epicondylitis: A Randomized Double-Blind Clinical Study(Turkish League Against Rheumatism, 2020) Kaydok, Ercan; Ordahan, Banu; Solum, Sezin; Karahan, Ali YavuzObjectives: This study aims to evaluate and compare the short-term efficacies of high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) and low-intensity laser therapy (LILT) in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis (LE). Patients and methods: Sixty patients (16 males, 44 females; mean age 44.2 +/- 9.3 years; range, 18 to 65 years) with unilateral elbow pain were randomized into two groups as 30 patients treated with HILT (9 males and 21 females) and 30 patients treated with LILT (7 males and 23 females). The HILT (1,064 nm) and LILT (904 nm) were administered three times a week for three weeks, and each treatment was combined with an epicondylitis bandage. A visual analog scale (VAS), quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QDASH) questionnaire, Medical Outcomes Study Questionnaire Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36), and hand grip strength test were used to evaluate the patients before and three weeks after treatment. Results: The two groups had similar demographic characteristics, including age, sex, occupation, and body mass index (p>0.05). There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of the pretreatment VAS, QDASH, hand grip strength, and SF-36 scores ( p>0.05). After three weeks, both groups showed significant improvements in all of the parameters (p<0.05). However, in the HILT group, the QDASH, hand grip strength, and SF-36 physical component summary (PCS) scores showed superior improvement compared to the LILT group (p<0.05). Conclusion: Each treatment modality was found to be effective and safe for the short-term treatment of LE. However, the HILT exhibited more significant effects on the hand grip strength, QDASH, and SF-36 PCS scores than the LILT.Öğe Tibia Platosunun Spontan Osteonekrozu: Olgu Sunumu(2014) Çubukçu, Murat; Ordahan, Banu; Adem, Küçük; Kaya, BuğraTibia platosunun spontan osteonekrozu: Olgu sunumuOsteonekroz nedeni tam olarak bilinmeyen eklemin yapısını bozan ve ilerleyici fonksiyon kaybına neden olan bir hastalıktır.
