Implant placement after ultrasonic preparation can be considered a predictable technique leading to clinical and biological responses similar to SD 4 weeks after insertion.
Although chronic multi-site musculoskeletal pain is known to cause decreased physical function and impair work and social life, there is insufficient research about its impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in women. The aim of this study was to investigate multiple factors affecting HRQoL in women with chronic multi-site musculoskeletal pain. This study included 227 women with two or more musculoskeletal areas which were painful during the last 3 months. The HRQoL and musculoskeletal system symptoms were evaluated with the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) and the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ), respectively. Physical activity level, social functionality and depressive symptoms were assessed with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ- SF), Social Functioning Scale (SFS) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), respectively. Significant predictors for the total score on the NHP were found to be the number of children (p < 0.001), social engagement/withdrawal scale (p:0.094), the number of regions with musculoskeletal pain during the last year (p:0.002) and last 7 days (p:0.036), depressive symptoms (p < 0.001), current employment status (p:0.084), and the presence of chronic disease (p < 0.001). The results of this study demonstrated that both sociodemographic characteristics, and social and psychological factors may affect the HRQoL in women with chronic multi-site musculoskeletal pain.
BackgroundThere are many factors that affect negatively mobility and daily life activity of older people. Fraility is one of these. frailty is a state of decline in physiologic reserve capacity and resiliency due to impairment in multiple physiological systems, thereby causing vulnerability to death and adverse health outcomes.ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to analyse gender differences in frailty, mobility and daily life activity score.MethodsThe study included 173 women, 124 men total 197 persons aged 65 years and older. The demographic information including age, height and weight, the individuals marital status, educational state, chronic diseases were taken. Elderly Mobility Scale (EMS), Edmonton Frail Scale (EFS) and KATZ were used to evaluate mobility, fraility and daily life activities level, respectively. Individuals were divided into groups according to their gender.ResultsThere was significant difference between women and men in EMS (p=0.001), EFS (p<0.001) and KATZ scores (0.048). Fraility score were lower, mobility score and daily life activity score higher than women in men. In both men and women were found positively a relation between mobility and daily life activity (p<0.001), were found negatively a relation between fraility and mobility, daily life activity (p<0.001).ConclusionsIt was seen that female gender affected mobility, fraility and daily life activity. It is important that Strategies for preventing or delaying the predisposing factor of frailty need to address gender differences and determinants among women.References[1] Fried, L.P., Ferrucci, L., Darer, J., Williamson, J.D., & Anderson, G.

Physical inactivity is an important determinant of chronic disease such as obesity, cardiovascular disease and certain types of cancer. Therefore, evaluation of physical activity becomes more important day by day. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the validity, reliability and Turkish version of The Recent Physical Activity Questionnaire (RPAQ) in healthy population. Materials and Methods: A total of 192 adults were included in the study. Standard "forward-backward" procedure used in translation of RPAQ. International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Long Form (IPAQ-LF) was used as the gold standard for the validity of RPAQ. It was re-adminestered on 50 participants one week interval for reliability of RPAQ analysis. Results: 122 (63.5%) were women, 70 (36.5%) were men of participants, and their mean age was 34.469.45 years. There was a high correlation between total score of IPAQ-LF and RPAQ (r: 0.747, p<0.001). When analysed validity for sub-scales, there was significant relationship between the subscales related to work and leisure activities while no significant relationship was found in scores for home and tranport domains. The test-retest reliability was showed that the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) (between 0.978 and 1) were significant for RPAQ. Conclusion: RPAQ is a valid and reliable tool for measuring physical activity in Turkish people. The Turkish version of the RPAQ is a powerful measurement for assessing the physical activity levels of adult individuals. Amaç: Fiziksel inaktivite, obezite, kardiyovasküler hastalıklar ve belirli kanser türleri gibi kronik hastalıkların önemli bir belirleyicisidir. Bu nedenle fiziksel aktivitenin değerlendirilmesi her geçen gün daha da önem kazanmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Yeni Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi'nin (YFAA) sağlıklı popülasyonda geçerliliğini, güvenilirliğini ve Türkçe versiyonunu incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya toplam 192 yetişkin dahil edildi. YFAA'nın çevirisinde standart "ileri-geri çevirisi" prosedürü kullanıldı. YFAA'nın geçerliliği için altın standart olarak Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi-Uzun Form (UFAA-UF) kullanıldı. YFAA güvenilirliği için anket bir hafta arayla 50 katılımcıya yeniden uygulandı. Bulgular: Katılımcıların 122'si (%63,5) kadın, 70'i (%36,5) erkek ve yaş ortalamaları 34,46 ± 9,45 yıldı. UFAA-UF toplam puanı ile YFAA arasında yüksek bir korelasyon vardı (r: 0.747, p <0.001). Alt ölçekler için geçerlilik incelendiğinde, iş ve boş zaman etkinlikleri ile ilgili alt ölçekler arasında anlamlı ilişki bulunurken, ev ve ulaşım alanları puanlarında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmamıştır. Testtekrar test güvenilirliği, Sınıf İçi Korelasyon Katsayısının (ICC) (0.978 ile 1 arasında) RPAQ için anlamlı olduğunu göstermiştir. Sonuç: YFAA, Türklerde fiziksel aktiviteyi ölçmek için geçerli ve güvenilir bir araçtır. YFAA'nın Türkçe versiyonu, yetişkin bireylerin fiziksel aktivite düzeylerini değerlendirmek için güçlü bir ölçümdür.
Objective: The aim of the current study was to compare the spatio-temporal parameters of gait and gross motor skills in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder-combined type with those of typically developing children and to search the effect of motor skills on gait parameters in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder-combined type. Methods: A total of 50 children (n = 25 attention deficit hyperactivity disorder-combined type, n = 25 typically developing children) aged 5-12 years were included. Gross motor skills were evaluated using the Bruininks–Oseretsky Test Second Edition-Short Form. Spatio-temporal parameters of gait were assessed with a GAITRite ® computer-based system. Results: In the subtests of Bruininks–Oseretsky Test Second Edition-Short Form (bilateral coordination ( P < .001), balance ( P = .013), running speed and agility ( P = .003)), lower scores were obtained by the children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder-combined type. The swing phase of gait was found to be longer in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder-combined type ( P = .01). Conclusion: The current study results show that gross motor skills are affected negatively and the swing phase is prolonged in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder-combined type. Upper limb coordination and balance were also seen to have an effect on the velocity, step, and stride length. It is important to include an objective gait assessment as well as gross motor skills in the comprehensive clinical evaluation of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder-combined type.
Yaşlanma ile birlikte vücut sistemlerinde fonksiyon kaybı meydana geldiği bilinmektedir. Yaşlıların yaşadığı çevre ve buna bağlı olarak sahip oldukları imkanlar da sağlık durumlarını etkileyebilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, geriatrik bireylerin görme ve işitme gibi duyusal, kognitif ve fiziksel fonksiyonları ile sosyal işlevselliklerini kentsel ve kırsal bölgede yaşama durumlarına göre karşılaştırılması idi. Yöntem: Çalışmaya toplam 84 kişi katıldı. Kentsel (yaş ortalaması 72,21±6,13 yıl) ve kırsal (yaş ortalaması 74,38±6,82 yıl) olmak üzere her bir gruba 42 birey dahil edildi. Görme, işitme ve kognitif fonksiyonları ile fiziksel performans ve sosyal katılımı değerlendirmek için bireylere Ulusal Göz Sağlığı Enstitüsü Görme İşlevleri Anketi (USGE-GİA-39), İşitme Engeli Ölçeği-Yaşlı (IEÖ-Y), Mini Mental Durum Testi (MMDT), Kısa fiziksel performans testi (KFPT) ve Sosyal İşlevsellik Ölçeği (SİÖ)'nin Boş Zamanları Değerlendirme alt ölçeği uygulandı. Sonuçlar: Kentsel bölgede yaşayan bireylerin UGSE-GİA-39 puanları, MMDT puanları, KFPT değerleri ve SİÖ-Boş Zaman Aktiviteleri Değerlendirme Ölçeği puanları kırsal bölgede yaşayanlardan anlamlı olarak daha yüksek bulundu (p<0,05). Kentsel bölgede yaşayan bireylerin İEÖ-Y puanları kırsal bölgede yaşayan grubun değerlerinden anlamlı olarak daha düşüktü (p<0,05). Tartışma: Kentsel bölgede yaşayan geriatrik bireylerin, kırsal bölgede yaşayan geriatrik bireylere göre, duyusal, kognitif ve fiziksel fonksiyonları ile birlikte sosyal katılımlarının daha iyi olduğu bulundu. Özellikle kırsal bölgede yaşayan geriatrik bireylerin görme, işitme, kognitif fonksiyonları, fiziksel performans ve sosyal katılımlarını değerlendirmek ve fonksiyonlarını geri kazanabilmeleri için uygun tedavi yöntemlerini uygulamak önemlidir.
