Öğe The association between pain, balance, fall, and disability in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis with vascular claudication(Korean Pain Soc, 2021) Gunes, Musa; Ozmen, Tarik; Guler, Tugba MoraliBackground: The effect of lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) and peripheral vascular disease (PVD), which occurs with similar degenerative conditions, when seen together, has not been studied. The aim of this study is to examine and compare the relationship between pain, balance, disability, fear of falling, and kinesiophobia in LSS patients with intermittent vascular claudication (IVC). Methods: Seventy-two patients diagnosed with LSS using magnetic resonance imaging participated in this study. Thirty-five patients with IVC symptoms and showing vascular lesions by lower extremity venous and arterial Doppler ultrasonography imaging were included in the IVC-LSS group. The pain, static balance, dynamic balance, disability, fear of falling, and kinesiophobia were evaluated using the numeric rating scale, single leg stance test, Time Up and Go (TUG), the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Fall Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I), and Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK), respectively. Results: Age and female sex were found to be higher in the IVC-LSS group (P = 0.024; P = 0.012). The IVC-LSS group had a shorter single leg stance time and TUG test duration, pain intensity, ODI, FES-I, and TSK scores were higher than patients with LSS (P = 0.001). Pain, fear of falling, and kinesiophobia were moderately correlated with disability in the IVC-LSS group. No relationship was found between pain and dynamic balance. Also, the pain was not related to kinesiophobia. Conclusions: The findings indicated that IVC causes loss of balance and an increase in pain, disability, fear of falling, and kinesophobia in patients with LSS.Öğe Comparison of the clinical and sonographic effects of ultrasound therapy, extracorporeal(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2021) Ozmen, Tarik; Koparal, Salih Suha; Karatas, Ozlem; Eser, Filiz; Ozkurt, Bulent; Gafuroglu, UmitBackground/aim: The aim of this study was to compare the clinical and sonographic effects of the ultrasound (US) therapy, extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), and Kinesio taping (KT) in the lateral epicondylitis (LE). Materials and methods: A total of 40 patients with LE were included in the present study. The patients were randomly assigned to 3 treatment groups: US (n = 13), ESWT (n = 14), and KT (n = 13) groups. Results: The visual analog scale (VAS) scores significantly decreased in all groups (P < 0.05). Grip strength significantly increased after 8 weeks in only the KT group (P < 0.05). The Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation Scale (PRTEE) scores significantly decreased after 2 weeks and after 8 weeks in the US group and ESWT groups, and after 8 weeks in the KT group (P < 0.05). Common extensor tendon (CET) thicknesses significantly decreased after 8 weeks in only the ESWT group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The US therapy, KT, and ESWT are effective in reducing pain and improving functionality. However, none of these treatment methods were found to be superior to others in reducing the pain and improving functionality.Öğe Effect of core strength training on balance, vertical jump height and throwing velocity in adolescent male handball players(Edizioni Minerva Medica, 2020) Ozmen, Tarik; Aydogmus, Mert; Yaya, Metehan; Simsek, AyseBACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to examine the effects of core strength training (CST) on dynamic balance and vertical jump height, and throwing velocity in handball players. METHODS: Twenty male handball players (mean age 14.90 +/- 0.44 years) participated in this study. The players randomly divided into two groups as CST and control (CON) groups. Dynamic balance, vertical jump, and throwing velocity were measured before and after a six-week CST. RESULTS: Significant differences were found at anterior (P=0.009) and posteromedial (P=0.017) directions of the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) in only CST group. There were significant improvement in vertical jump height of participants compared to pre-test scores in both CST (P=0.047) and CON group (P=0.013). No significant difference was found for throwing velocity compared with pre-test in both groups. There were no significant differences in all parameters when CST and CON groups were compared (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The results of the present study indicated that a 6-week CST did not improve dynamic balance, vertical jump height and throwing velocity in adolescent male handball players. We believe that longer CST programs may provide significant benefits.Öğe Effect of core strength training on dynamic balance and agility in adolescent badminton players(Elsevier Science Bv, 2016) Ozmen, Tarik; Aydogmus, MertThe aim of the present study was to investigate effect of core strength training (CST) on core endurance, dynamic balance and agility in adolescent badminton players. Twenty adolescent (age = 10.8 +/- 0.3 years; height = 140.6 +/- 4.4 cm, weight = 33.9 +/- 5.8 kg) badminton players were randomly divided into two groups as training group (TG) and control (CG) group. All subjects were evaluated with Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT), Illinois Agility Test, and the core endurance tests. The TG completed CST twice a week, for 6 weeks. There were significant increases in (p < 0.05) directions of SEBT and core endurance tests (p < 0.05). However, no significant change was observed for agility (p > 0.05). The CST resulted in significant gains in directions of the SEBT and core endurances in adolescent badminton players, but not in agility. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of crocin on parameters associated with oxidative stress in recovery from acute swimming exercise in rats. Rats were divided into eight groups; Normal Control (NC, untreated and did not swim), Crocin Control (CC, received crocin and did not swim), Exe-1, Exe-24, Exe-48 (untreated and swam) and and Exe-Cro-1, Exe-Cro-24, Exe-Cro-48 (received crocin and swam). AST, ALP, LDH, CK, XO enzymes levels increased after swimming in untreated and crocin-treated groups, but there was a less increase in crocin-treated groups. The highest MDA levels in serum were determined in Exe-1 compared with all other groups. There was significant difference between control and exercise groups in MDA level (p = 0.033). In contrast, there was significant difference between control and exercise groups in GSH level (p < 0.001). In addition, crocin given to swimming rats significantly increased GSH levels (p < 0.05) and decreased MDA levels when compared with untreated exercise groups. In conclusion, crocin is able to protect liver and skeletal muscle tissue against exercise-induced oxidative damage by preventing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production.Öğe EFFECT OF KINESIO TAPING ON GAIT PERFORMANCE AND BALANCE IN CHILDREN WITH HEMIPLEGIC CEREBRAL PALSY(Turkey Assoc Physiotherapists, 2017) Ozmen, Tarik; Acar, Ece; Zoroglu, Tuba; Isik, HammetPurpose: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of kinesio taping (KT) on gait performance and balance in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP). Methods: Nineteen ambulant children with spastic hemiplegic CP (mean age; 11.63 +/- 3.59 years, 8 boys, 11 girls) participated in this study. Passive dorsi flexion and plantar flexion range of motion (ROM) of ankle were measured with a goniometer in a supine position. Plantar flexor muscle tone and gait performance were evaluated by Modified Ashworth Scale and One-Minute Walk Test. Balance was evaluated with Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) and Modified Timed Up Go (mTUG) Test. After pre-evaluation, kinesio tape was applied over the gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior muscles of hemiplegic side. Results: The plantar flexor muscle tone and ankle ROM unchanged immediately and 48 h after KT application (p>0.05). However, there were significant differences in measurements of gait performance, PBS, mTUG test at 48 h after KT application (p<0.05), but not immediately (p>0.05). Discussion: It is concluded that KT has not an effect on ankle plantar flexor muscle spasticity and ankle ROM, but improves gait performance and balance in children with hemiplegic CP at 48 h after application.Öğe The Effect of Kinesio Taping on Muscle Pain, Sprint Performance, and Flexibility in Recovery From Squat Exercise in Young Adult Women(Human Kinetics Publ Inc, 2016) Ozmen, Tarik; Aydogmus, Mert; Dogan, Hanife; Acar, Derya; Zoroglu, Tuba; Willems, MarkContext: Kinesio taping (KT) is a taping technique extensively used in rehabilitation of sports injuries; however, the effect of KT on delayed-onset muscle soreness is not entirely clear. Objectives: To investigate the effect of kinesio tape on the quadriceps femoris on muscle pain, flexibility, and sprint performance after squat exercise. Design: Crossover study. Setting: University research laboratory. Participants: 19 female university students (age 21.0 +/- 1.2 y, weight 53.0 +/- 4.6 kg, height 164 +/- 4 cm). Main Outcome Measures: Pressure-pain threshold for quadriceps femoris was recorded using pressure algometry. Quadriceps femoris flexibility was measured as the range of motion of knee flexion with a stainless steel goniometer. Sprint-speed measurements were conducted using photocells placed at 0 and 20 m. All participants completed both conditions (KT application and no KT application) after a 1-wk washout period. Measurements were taken at baseline and 48 h postexercise. For the KT condition, KT was applied immediately before the exercise protocol and remained on the skin for 48 h. Results: Squat exercise reduced flexibility and increased pain and sprint time compared with baseline. KT application resulted in similar sprint time and muscle pain as the no-KT condition but maintained flexibility compared with baseline. Conclusions: KT application immediately before squat exercise has no effect on muscle pain and short sprint performance but maintains muscle flexibility at 2 days of recovery.Öğe The effect of kinesio taping versus stretching techniques on muscle soreness, and flexibility during recovery from nordic hamstring exercise(Elsevier Science Bv, 2017) Ozmen, Tarik; Gunes, Gokce Yagmur; Dogan, Hanife; Ucar, Ilyas; Willems, MarkThe purpose of this study was to examine the effects of static stretching, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching, or kinesio taping (KT) on muscle soreness and flexibility during recovery from exercise. Sixty-five females were randomly assigned to four groups: PNF stretching (n = 15), static stretching (n = 16), KT (n = 17), and control (n = 17). All participants performed nordic hamstring exercise (5 sets of 8 repetitions). In all groups, hamstring flexibility at 24 h and 48 h was not changed from baseline (p > .05). The muscle soreness was measured higher at 48 h post-exercise compared with baseline in the control group (p = .04) and at 24 h post-exercise compared with baseline in the PNF group (p < .01). No significant differences were found for intervention groups compared with control group in all measurements (p > .05). The KT application and pre-exercise stretching have no contribute to flexibility at 24 h and 48 h after exercise, but may attenuate muscle soreness. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

Twenty males (age: 22.25 +/- 1.97 years) participated in the study. Muscle soreness, joint position sense, and dynamic balance were evaluated before exercise, 24 and 48 hours after exercise. All participants performed six sets of 10 repetitions of squat exercises. VT was applied to one thigh of the participants randomly for 10 minutes after exercise, and the other thigh was determined as the control. The muscle soreness increased significantly for VT (p<.001) and control (p=.014) at 24 hours after exercise. However, there were no significant differences 48 hours after exercise for both conditions (p>.05). No significant difference was found between VT and control (p>0.05). No significant difference was found after exercise at knee joint position sense for both conditions (p>.05). No significant difference was observed between VT and control (p>.05). There was a significant difference between before exercise and 48 hours after exercise at anterior direction of the modified Star Excursion Balance Test for VT (p=.033). A significant difference was found between before exercise and 24 hours after exercise at posteromedial (p=.012) direction for VT. There was only significant difference at posteromedial (p=.028) direction at 24 hours after exercise between VT and control. The wearable local VT after squat exercise did not affect muscle soreness and knee joint position sense. However, local VT contributed to the improvement of dynamic balance.Öğe Effects of respiratory muscle training on pulmonary function and aerobic endurance in soccer players(Edizioni Minerva Medica, 2017) Ozmen, Tarik; Gunes, Gokce Y.; Ucar, Ilyas; Dogan, Hanife; Gafuroglu, Tuba U.BACKGROUND: Few studies investigated the effects of the respiratory muscle training (RMT) in soccer although exhaustive high intensity exercise is known to lead to muscle fatigue in respiratory muscles. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of RMT on pulmonary function and aerobic endurance in soccer players. METHODS: Eighteen male soccer players (mean age 22.2 +/- 1.4 years) participated in this study. Participants were assigned randomly to either an RMT or a control (CON) group. The RMT group performed a 15-minute endurance training of respiratory muscles twice a week for 5 weeks. The CON group did not receive RMT during this period. All participants were evaluated for aerobic endurance using 20-meter shuttle run test (20-MST), pulmonary function, maximal inspiratory mouth pressure (MIP), and maximal expiratory mouth pressure (MEP) using spirometry. RESULTS: There was a significant improvement in RMT group (14%) as compared to CON group (4%) in MIP measurement (P=0.04). No significant differences were observed in forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV), and MEP after a five week of RMT (P>0.05). Similarly, there was no difference in 20-MST in the RMT group compared to CON group (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: We concluded that a five week of RMT increased MIP, but FVC, FEV1, MVV, MEP and aerobic endurance did not improve in soccer players. The RMT in addition to soccer training may improve MIP but not the tolerance to high intensity exercise.Öğe Effects of vibration therapy on muscle soreness and athletic performance in wheelchair basketball players(Elsevier, 2024) Uysal, Mert; Ozmen, TarikIntroduction: Vibration therapy (VT) has been widely used to increase performance and rehabilitate injuries in athletes. Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), caused by excessive overload after training and competitions, leads to loss of performance. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of wearable local VT on muscle soreness and athletic performance in wheelchair basketball (WCB) players. Method: A non-randomized crossover design was used in this study in which thirteen elite WCB athletes (31.84 +/- 12.59 years) participated. A two-week washout period was applied between the measurements of the control and the vibration groups. Muscle soreness, range of motion (ROM), joint position sense, 20-m sprint speed, and shooting percentage were evaluated for all participants pre-exercise, 30 min and 24 h post-exercise for both arms. After eccentric exercise, immediately local wearable VT was applied to both triceps brachii muscles for 10 min in the vibration group. Results: Compared to baseline, there was a significant increase in muscle soreness and a significant decrease in joint position sense, ROM, sprint speed and shooting percentage in both groups 24 h post-exercise (p < 0.05). No significant differences were observed between the groups for muscle soreness and 20-m sprint speed (p > 0.05). However, there were significant improvements in elbow ROM, elbow joint position sense, and shooting percentage in the VT group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The local VT may help improve the elbow ROM, elbow joint position sense, and shooting performance but can't contribute to reducing muscle soreness and sprint performance in recovery from exercise.Öğe EXPLOSIVE STRENGTH TRAINING IMPROVES SPEED AND AGILITY IN WHEELCHAIR BASKETBALL ATHLETES(Soc Brasileira Med Esporte, 2014) Ozmen, Tarik; Yuktasir, Bekir; Yildirim, Necmiye Un; Yalcin, Birol; Willems, Mark E. T.Introduction: Wheelchair basketball is a paralympic sport characterized by intermittent high-intensity activities that require explosive strength and speed. Objective: To investigate the effect of explosive strength training on speed and agility performance in wheelchair basketball players. Methods: Ten male wheelchair basketball players (M-age=31 +/- 4 yrs) were divided into two groups [i.e. explosive strength training (ES); control (CN)] based on International Wheelchair Basketball Federation (IWBF) classification scores. The ES group underwent 6-weeks of training, twice weekly, at 50% 1RM, 10-12 repetitions and 3-4 sets in addition to routine training. Effects of training were measured by the 20 m sprint test and Illinois agility test. Results: The ES group, showed significantly higher increases in speed and agility performance (p <= .05). Conclusion: A short-duration (i.e. 6-week) explosive strength training programme in wheelchair basketball athletes results in significant improvements in sprint and agility performance.Öğe Investigation of Injury Anxiety in Cross-Country Skiers(Ataturk Univ, 2023) Contarli, Nurcan; Ozmen, TarikThe aim of this study is to examine the sports injury anxiety levels in cross-country skiers. A total of 34 athletes (15 girls, 19 boys) with a mean age of 15.24 +/- 2.72 years participated voluntarily in this cross-sectional and descriptive study. The Sports Injury Anxiety Scale was used to detect the sports injury anxiety levels of athletes. When the sports injury anxiety levels of the athletes were compared between the gender, no statistically significant difference was found (p > .05). When the sociodemographic characteristics of the athletes were compared with the sports injury anxiety scale sub-dimension scores, a moderately positive relationship was found between age and re-injury anxiety (p = .045; r = .524) sub-dimension scores. No significant relationship was found between gender, body mass index, year of sport, and sport injury anxiety levels (p > .05). In conclusion, the most common knee, hip, and elbow injuries are seen in adolescent athletes in cross-country skiing, which requires high effort in both upper and lower extremity muscles, and the level of re-injury anxiety may increase in athletes with advancing age. For the continuity of the active sports life of the athletes, intervention methods that will minimize anxiety levels should be used as well as the prevention and treatment of injuries.Öğe Relationship between core stability and dynamic balance in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis(Baycinar Medical Publ-Baycinar Tibbi Yayincilik, 2018) Ozmen, Tarik; Gafuroglu, Umit; Aliyeva, Aygun; Elverici, EdaObjectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between core stability and dynamic balance in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis. Patients and methods: A total of 100 females (mean age 59.9 +/- 7.5 years; range, 42 to 73 years) with postmenopausal osteoporosis between January 2016 and June 2016 were included in this study. All patients were evaluated for dynamic balance with the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) and for core stability with trunk flexion, extension, and Side Bridge Test (SBT). Results: There was a significant correlation between age and the reach directions of anterior (A), posteromedial (PM), and posterolateral (PL) of the right limb (p<0.001, p=0.009, p=0.012) and the reach directions of A and PM of the left limb (p<0.001, p=0.004). There was no correlation between the lumbar spine, femoral neck, and total hip Bone Mineral Density (BMD) and the reach directions of SEBT (p>0.05). There was a significant correlation between the trunk flexion test results and the reach directions of A, PM, and PL of the right limb (p=0.005, p=0.001, p=0.002), (r=0.277, r=0.333, r=0.308) and the reach directions of A, PM, and PL of the left limb (p=0.008, p=0.016, p=0.005), (r=0.265, r=0.239, r=0.276). There was a significant correlation between the SBT results and the reach directions of A, PM, and PL of the right limb (p<0.001, p<0.001, p=0.005), (r=0.423, r=0.366, r=0.281) and the reach directions of A, PM, and PL of the left limb (p<0.001, p<0.001, p=0.001), (r=0.418, r=0.356, r=0.316). There was a significant correlation between the trunk extension test results and the reach directions of A, PM, and PL of the right limb (p<0.001, p<0.001, p=0.006), (r=0.383, r=0.471, r=0.276) and the reach directions of A, PM, and PL of the left limb (p<0.001, p<0.001, p=0.003) (r=0.407, r=0.401, r=0.297). Conclusion: Our study results showed that age and core stability were associated with dynamic balance in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis.Öğe RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN KINESIOPHOBIA, QUADRICEPS MUSCLE STRENGTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE IN PATIENTS WITH KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS(Gunes Kitabevi Ltd Sti, 2017) Ozmen, Tarik; Gafuroglu, Umit; Altun Guvenir, Aysegu; Ziraman, Ipek; Ozkurt, BulentIntroduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between kinesiophobia, quadriceps muscle strength and quality of life in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Materials and Method: We included 145 patients (age, 55.9 +/- 8 years) diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the knee in this study. Kinesiophobia, pain intensity, quadriceps muscle strength, disability and quality of life were evaluated using Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia, visual analogue scale, hand-held dynamometer, Lysholm scale and short form-36, respectively. Results: There was a significant relationship between pain at rest (p=.028), pain during activity (p=.015), disability (p=.019), vitality (p=.03) and social function (p=.036) of short form-36 and quadriceps muscle strength in females. No significant relationship was found between the test variables and quadriceps muscle strength (p> .05) in males. There was a significant relationship between pain during activity (p=.021), quadriceps muscle strength (p=.017), vitality (p=.026) and social function (p=.007) parameters of quality of life and kinesiophobia in females. There was a significant association between quadriceps muscle strength and kinesiophobia (p=.001) in males. Conclusion: Quadriceps muscle weakness was associated with increased pain intensity and disability and reduced quality of life in females but not in males with osteoarthritis. Additionally, kinesiophobia was associated with higher pain intensity during activity, quadriceps muscle weakness and poorer quality of life in females. In males, level of kinesiophobia was associated with quadriceps muscle weakness.Öğe Reliability of the Modified Star Excursion Balance Test in individuals with Down Syndrome(Elsevier, 2022) Ozmen, Tarik; Gunes, Musa; Simsek, Ayse; Inceoglu, FeyzaNeuromotor problems such as hypotonia, incoordination, impaired sensory-motor integration lead to significant delays in motor skills and balance development in individuals with Down Syndrome (DS). Balance control is essential for performing many motor skills independently and safely. Standardised testing of balance control can contribute significantly to the rehabilitation of individuals with DS. The purpose of this study was to determine intrarater and interrater reliability of the Modified Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) for individuals with DS. Thirteen individuals with DS were recruited in this study. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC [3,1]) with 95% confidence intervals, standard error of measurement (SEM), the smallest detectable difference (SDD) and the Spearman rank correlation coefficient were calculated. In all directions of the Modified SEBT, no statistically significant difference was found between two raters' first and second measurements (p > 0.05). Interrater reliability for all reach directions of the Modified SEBT was high, with ICC ranging from 0.990 to 0.998.95% confidence intervals, SEM and SDD ranged from 0.924 to 0.999, 0.180-2.434 and 3.270-6.747, respectively. The Modified SEBT are reliable for evaluating dynamic balance in individuals with DS aged between 6 and 24 years. (c) 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
