    (Turkey Assoc Physiotherapists, 2008) Ozdinc, Sevgi Anar; Kokino, Sirenus; Hakguder, Aral; Gezici, Buket; Turan, Fatma Nesrin
    Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare demographic characteristics and quality of life In patients with musculoskeletal system disorders localized in various regions. Material and methods: Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) was applied in order to measure life qualities of the patients and a questionnaire of personal information was given. Among these patients, 3 different groups were formed as low back, neck and multi-involved and they were compared with respect to NHP. Binary comparisons were performed in parameters which demonstrated a difference. Demographic properties, exercise habits and pain seventy that is measured with visual analog scale were taken down. Low back pain, neck and multi-involved patient group's results were compared. Results: A difference was found In age and occupation distribution in the sub-groups with respect to demographic features (p<0.05). A difference was found in physical mobility and pain parameters when NHP was considered (p<0.05). Both parameters were worse in low back and multi involved groups compared to the neck group. Fatigue and social isolation were better in patients having exercising habits (p<0.05). Conclusion: The region of the musculoskeletal system disease, age, BMI, pain severity, education, presence of a systemic disease, gender and exercising habits may affect life quality.

    Comparison of the Short-Term Efficacy of Physical Therapy in Subacromial Impingement Syndrome Patients with Stage I and II Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings
    (Turkish League Against Rheumatism, 2011) Hakguder, Aral; Tastekin, Nurettin; Birtane, Murat; Uzunca, Kaan; Zateri, Coskun; Sut, Necdet
    Objectives: In this study, we compared the efficacy of a combined physical therapy program between stage I and II subacromial impingement syndrome patients. Patients and methods: Forty-three patients with subacromial impingement syndrome assessed as stage I and II according to the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings were included in the study. Constant's and University of California Los Angeles Shoulder Scales were used to evaluate pain and function. Pain levels at rest, during motion and while asleep were also scored by visual analog scale before treatment, after treatment and at one month after treatment. Improvements within and between the groups were assessed. A physical therapy program consisting of ultrasound, superficial heat therapy and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation modalities combined with an appropriate exercise program was applied to both groups during half monthly sessions. Results: The between-groups comparisons performed after treatment and during follow-up revealed no significant difference in terms of the outcome measures assessed. Conclusion: Stage II patients responded to the physical therapy program as well as patients with stage I MRI findings.
