AbstractÖz Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate the testretest reliability of muscles strength measurements performed with Nicholas Manual Muscle Tester (NMMT) in healthy ballet subjects. Materials and Methods:The study group consisted of 10 healthy ballet students aged between 10-11 years. Muscle strength evaluations of lower extremity were made to determine the physical performance level using NMMT. Moreover, every measurements were performed three times with NMMT. Results: NMMT measurements were found as reliable for lower extremity muscle strength in clinical measurements. These reliability of NMMT scores were found as between 0.634 and 0.991. Conclusion: In this paper, we think that NMMT measurements for lower extremity muscles can be used as reliable in clinical measurements and the identification of problems including lower extremity, evaluation of the training and treatment effectiveness of ballet students.Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı sağlıklı bale öğrencilerinde Nicholas Manual Muscle Test (NMMT) aleti ile yapılan kas kuvvet ölçümlerinin test-retest güvenilirliğini araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma grubu 10-11 yaş arası 10 sağlıklı bale öğrencilerinden oluşmaktadır. Alt ekstremitenin kas kuvvet değerlendirmeleri NMMT aleti kullanılarak fiziksel performans düzeyini belirlemek için yapıldı. Ayrıca, her ölçüm 3'er defa NMMT aleti ile yapıldı. Bulgular: NMMT alet ölçümleri alt ekstremite kas kuvvet ölçümleri için klinik ölçümlerde güvenilir bulundu. NMMT aletinin güven aralığı 0.634 ile 0.991 olarak bulundu. Sonuç: Bu çalışmada, alt ekstremite kasları için NMMT aletinin bale öğrencilerinin tedavi etkinliğinin ve eğitimin değerlendirilmesinde, alt ekstremiteyi içeren problemlerin belirlenmesinde ve klinik ölçümlerde güvenilir olarak kullanılabileceğini düşünmekteyiz.

“…Several studies have described ultrasonographic findings of SF (11,14). Five US hallmarks have been described in SF: [1] cortical disruption which is a rare and late finding [2] posterior shadowing related to periosteal thickening. This sign can be seen only in small bone such as the metatarsals [3] thickening of the periosteum which appears as a hypoechoic band overlying the hyperechoic bone cortex [4] Increased periosteal colour Doppler flow related to local hyperaemia [5] hyperechogenicity of the surrounding soft tissue which indicates soft tissue oedema and inflammatory reaction.…”

KEYWORDSFatigue fracture; Sonography; Ultrasound; Stress fracture.Abstract We report the case of a 35 years old patient presenting with bilateral pain in the medial aspect of both knees. Ultrasound examination revealed hyperechoic appearance of the subcutaneous tissue and periarticular soft tissue bilateral. Color Doppler studies showed significant vascular signals at the surface of the tibial plateaux. US appearance, together with clinical findings, suggested a diagnosis of simultaneous bilateral fatigue fracture. An MRI confirmed the diagnosis and the patient's symptoms resolved with rest. US may be a useful imaging tool in the diagnosis of stress fracture.Sommario Presentiamo il caso di un paziente di 35 anni con dolore bilaterale nella parte mediale delle ginocchia. L'ecografia evidenziava ipoecogenicità del tessuto sottocutaneo e delle parti molli periarticolari bilateralmente. L'esame con color Doppler mostrava significativi segnali vascolari in corrispondenza del piatto tibiale. L'aspetto ecografico, associato ai segni clinici, suggeriva la diagnosi di simultanea frattura da fatica, bilaterale. La risonanza magnetica confermava la diagnosi e i sintomi del paziente regredivano con il riposo. L'ecografia può essere un'utile metodica nella diagnosi frattura da stress. ª

AbstractÖz Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze the physical features of students who would receive ballet training. Material and Methods: Students who applied for the examinations of Cukurova University State Conservatory Ballet Main Art Branch in the academic year 2013-2014 were included in the study. The enrolled students were evaluated as the experiment group, while the rejected students served as the control group. There were 31 girls in the experiment group and 20 girls in the control group. The physical features of groups were compared by using anthropometric measurements. Results: Skinfold thickness values were significantly lower in the enrolled students. The right and left ranges of motion measurements of the enrolled students were significantly more than the control group; implicating that the enrolled students were more flexible than the rejected students. Conclusion:The findings of this study may help to define the parameters of the physical features suitable for classical ballet education. These guidelines can be used to improve insufficient data about this subject in previous literature. Amaç
