    Case with atrophy and proximal muscle weakness: seronegative Lambert Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome
    (Pamukkale University, 2019) Say, Bahar; Ergün, Ufuk; Karaca, Gülten
    Lambert Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome (LEMS) is a rare neuromuscular junction disease characterized by proximal muscle weakness, decrease or loss of reflexes, moderate ocular and autonomic findings with antibody development to presynaptic voltage-dependent calcium channels. It can be paraneoplastic or autoimmun. Paraneoplastic LEMS is most commonly associated with small-cell lung cancer. Primary autoimmune may be associated with diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, autoimmune thyroid diseases. Diagnosis is based clinical findings and electrophsyologic studies include repetetif nerve stimulation or single fiber electromyelography. Treatment includes 3,4 diaminopyridine, intravenous immunglobulin, plasmapheresis, prednisolone and azothiopurine according to the case. © 2019, Pamukkale University. All rights reserved.

    Effect of plantar vibration on static and dynamic balance in stroke patients: a randomised controlled study
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2022) Önal, Birol; Sertel, Meral; Karaca, Gülten
    Objective: To investigate the effects of local vibration applied to the plantar region of the foot on static and dynamic balance in stroke patients. Design: Randomised, controlled trial. Setting: Inpatient. Participants: Thirty patients with stroke were randomised equally to the vibration and control groups. Intervention: The control group underwent conventional physical therapy (CPT) for 4 weeks. The vibration group underwent local vibration therapy at a frequency of 80 Hz and CPT for 4 weeks. Outcome measures: The primary outcome measure was the Overall Stability Index (OSI). The secondary outcome measures were: the Anteroposterior Stability Index, Mediolateral Stability Index, fall risk, Berg Balance Scale, Functional Reach Test (FRT), and Timed Up and Go Test (TUG) to assess balance; the Trunk Impairment Scale to measure trunk function; and the 10-m Walk Test (10MWT) to measure walking speed. Results: Participants receiving plantar vibration experienced greater improvements in static and dynamic balance assessments compared with participants in the control group. The mean change in OSI score between baseline and 4 weeks was 0.8 [standard deviation (SD) 0.8] for the vibration group and 0.02 (SD 0.6) for the control group [mean difference 0.4, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.1 to 0.7]. The median change in fall risk score was 0.7 [interquartile range (IQR) 0.4 to 1.4] for the vibration group and 0.1 (IQR -0.1 to 0.6) for the control group (median difference 0.5, 95% CI 0.2 to 0.7). The median change in TUG time was 4 (IQR 1 to 7) seconds for the vibration group and 4 (IQR 0 to 2) seconds for the control group (median difference 2.5, 95% CI 1.5 to 3.5). Conclusion: These findings suggest that plantar vibration is useful in stroke patients. Plantar vibration can be applied to support CPT.

    Immediate Effects of Plantar Vibration on Fall Risk and Postural Stability in Stroke Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial
    (ELSEVIER, 2020) Önal, Birol; Karaca, Gülten; Sertel, Meral
    Background: Local vibration can improve balance problems of individuals with stroke when applied to the plantar region. Aims: This study aimed to determine the immediate effect of local vibration applied to the plantar region on fall risk and postural stability in patients with stroke. Study Design: Randomized controlled study. Methods: 30 patients (23 male,7 female) with stroke were randomized to either vibration (n = 15; 58.47 +/- 8.23 years) or control (n = 15; 58.27 +/- 9.50 years) groups. Before and after the intervention, the patients were evaluated using a Biodex Balance System. Local vibration was applied to the plantar region of two feet in the supine position using a vibration device for a total of 15 min to the individuals in the vibration group. While the patients in the placebo group were in the supine position, the device was brought into contact and no vibration was applied to the plantar region of two feet for 15 min. Results: While significant improvements were observed in the postural stability and fall risk of the vibration group (p < 0.05), no significant change was observed in the placebo group (p 0.05). Furthermore, significant improvements occurred in the SD values of the postural stability expressing postural oscillation in the vibration group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: As a result of local vibration applied to the plantar region, immediate (within 5 min) significant improvements in postural stability and fall risk values were detected.

    The effect of local vibration applied to the forearm extensor muscles on hand function and muscle activation in stroke patients: a randomized controlled study
    (Springer Heidelberg, 2023) Kocaman, Ayşe Abit; Onal, Birol; Sertel, Meral; Karaca, Gülten
    ObjectiveThis study aims to reveal the effect of low-frequency local vibration applied to the forearm extensor muscles on stroke patients' muscle activation and hand functions.MethodsTwenty-four stroke patients were randomized to the vibration group (n = 12) or control group (n = 12). The vibration was applied at a 30 Hz frequency to the forearm extensor muscles with a local vibration device three days a week after the routine, conventional physical therapy sessions for four weeks. Six vibration sets were applied, including one vibration for one minute and a rest for 2 min. Routine, traditional physical therapy was used for the control group in 60-min sessions for 4 weeks. Patients were assessed for muscle activation with surface electromyography (MVC) and The Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT), Functional Independent Test (FIM) was applied to all patients before and after treatment.ResultsAs a result of our study, MVC measurement, WMFT and FIM scores of the vibration group showed more improvement than the control group. Measurement results of vibration group; While MVC measurement increased from 10.21 to 13.79, WMFT-Functional Ability score increased from 42 to 50, WMFT-Performance Time duration increased from 68.78 to 61.83, and FIM score increased from 74.5 to 83. and the measurement results of the control group; MVC measurement increased from 12.28 to 12.22, WMFT-Functional Ability score increased from 48.5 to 51, WMFT-Performance Time duration increased from 70.39 to 70.61, and FIM score increased from 72.5 to 80.5.ConclusionIt was concluded that low-frequency local vibration applied to the forearm extensor muscles improve forearm extensor muscle activation and hand motor function.

    Turkish Adaptation, Validity, and Reliability of the Subjective Index of Physical and Social Outcome (SIPSO)
    (2024) Ağır, Hatice; Keskin, Esra Dilek; Karaca, Gülten; Gökmen, Derya
    Objective: The Subjective Index of Physical and Social Outcome (SIPSO) has been reported as a valid and reliable tool for measuring the level of community integration in stroke survivors. This study aims to adapt the SIPSO into the Turkish language and to test its reliability and validity in stroke survivors by using modern psychometric analysis (Rasch analysis). Material and Methods: The cross-cultural adaptation was performed according to the current recommendations. Internal construct validity was assessed by Rasch analysis, reliability by internal consistency and Person Separation Index (PSI). External construct validity was evaluated by analyzing correlations between the SIPSO and the Beck Depression Scale (BDS), Mini Mental Test, Functional Independence Measure (FIM), Barthel Index (BI), Functional Ambulation Scale (FAS), Rivermead Mobility Index (RMI), and the Stroke Impact Scale 3.0 (SIS 3.0). Test-retest reliability was assessed by intraclass correlation coefficient and Rasch analysis. Results: A total of 179 community-dwelling stroke survivors were included. Internal consistency of the SIPSO physical subscale showed good to excellent results with Cronbach’s ? of 0.92 and PSI of 0.95. The internal consistency of the SIPSO social subscale showed good to excellent with Cronbach’s ? and PSI of 0.86. External construct validity was highly correlated with BDS, FIM, BI, FAS, RMI, and the SIS 3.0 scales (p<0.001). Conclusion: The Turkish version of the SIPSO is a valid and reliable scale for measuring activities and participition in patients with stroke.

    Validity and reliability of the full cup test in patients with chronic low back pain
    (Kare Publ, 2022) Ağır, Hatice; Aras, Müyesser; Keskin, Esra Dilek; Özer, Hafsa Feyza; Karaca, Gülten; Ergün, Ufuk; Yörübulut, Serap
    Objectives:This study aims to determine the validity and reliability of the full cup test (FCT), evaluating the pain severity in patients with chronic low back pain. Methods: A total of 100 patients (70 women and 30 men) aged over 18 years with mechanical low back pain were enrolled in the study. Demographic and clinical characteristics were recorded. Pain severity was evaluated using the visual analog scale (VAS) and FCT, the functional state was assessed by the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and the quality of life was assessed using the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP). FCT was performed on the 1st day by two independent observers (G1 and G2) and 3 days after the first application, patients were readministered the FCT by G1. Results:The mean age of participants was 56.04 +/- 12.33 years and mean body mass index was 27.7 +/- 4.3 kg/m(2). The reliability of the FCT and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was found to be 0.989 for intrarater compliance, ICC was found to be 0.984 for inter-rater compliance, and Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient was alpha=0.994. External construct validity of the scale was confirmed with expected correlations with all subgroups of NHP except for social isolation, VAS and ODI (p<0.01). Conclusion:This study concludes that the FCT provides a reliable and valid instrument for measuring pain severity and loss of the function in patients with chronic mechanical back pain. We consider that FCT is a simple and easy test in patients with low education and advanced age.
