    Balance Evaluation and Gait Analysis After Arthroscopic Partial Meniscectomy
    (Springer Heidelberg, 2022) Karahan, Menekse; Ozcan, Mert; Cigali, Bulent Sabri
    Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate how walking and balance are affected at different time intervals after arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM). Methods Forty-five patients with APM and a healthy control group of 46 people were included in the study. Gait and bipedal balance analysis were performed to the patient group twice in 4 weeks and 12 weeks after surgery. Results In the gait analysis performed after 4 weeks, stance phase (SP), step time (ST), and total double support (TDS) were higher, and step length (SL), swing phase (SWP), cadence (C), and speed (V) in the patient group were lower. After 12 weeks, SP, TDS, and step width (SW) data were higher in the patient group and SWP was lower. In both measurements, the gait of the patient group is not symmetrical. In open-eye balance test, it was observed that the data of length of ellipse (LoE), area of ellipse (AoE), and path length of CoP (PL) were different after 4 weeks but these differences disappeared after 12 weeks. Width of ellipse (WoE), LoE, AoE, and PL data were different in the test performed with eyes closed after 4 weeks. In addition to the same data after 12 weeks, the medio-lateral direction (ML) was also higher than the patient group. Conclusion After 12 weeks, walking has not fully recovered. There was no difference in the balance analysis with eyes open, but the differences were still present in the eyes-closed analysis.

    Evaluation of vestibular functions and balance in Edirne Band musicians
    (Ios Press, 2021) Selcuk, Halit; Ozdinc, Sevgi; Karahan, Menekse; Kayatekin, Ayse Zeynep Yilmazer; Ulucam, Enis
    BACKGROUND: It has been found that intense noise may affect the peripheral vestibular system and consequently causes problems in balance mechanisms. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of exposure to chronic noise on vestibular functions and balance in Edirne Band musicians. METHODS: Twenty-two individuals working in the Edirne Band for at least 5 years and a control group of 22 individuals working at Trakya University with similar sociodemographic characteristics were included. The socio-demographic questionnaire was used to inquire about the demographic characteristics of individuals, the ABC Scale to assess how they felt about the balance, and the DHI to determine the quality of life related to dizziness. A 3D ultrasonic system was used to assess the static and dynamic balance of the individuals. RESULTS: There was a statistically significant difference between the band and the control group in terms of longitudinal deviation and self-spin parameters of the Unterberger test, dizziness handicap inventory scores, functional balance according to activity-specific balance confidence scale (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: As a result of our study, it has been shown that the balance, quality of life and vestibular system functions are negatively affected in the band exposed to noise for a long time.

    How Sleep Quality Affects Postural Control?
    (Galenos Publ House, 2024) Karahan, Menekse; Pehlivan, Metehan; Ulucam, Enis; Seyaz, Mehtap; Donmez Aydin, Didem
    Objective: We aimed to investigate how sleep quality affected postural control in medical and dental students. Methods: One hundred twenty eight volunteer students with right hemispheric dominance participated in the study. Participants were divided into good and poor sleep quality groups based on their Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scores. A force platform was used for bipedal balance analysis. Participants were asked to remain upright and motionless on the platform and their body oscillations were recorded for 30 seconds in this position. Balance analysis was performed in two conditions, with eyes open and closed. Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the demographics of the two groups. The PSQI medians of the good and poor sleep quality groups were 4 (minimum: 1, maximum: 4) and 7 (minimum: 5, maximum: 14), respectively. In the open -eye test, no significant difference was found between the two groups in any of the data. In the test performed with the eyes closed, the deviation of the center of pressure on the Y-axis and the force transferred to the anterior part of the foot on the left side were higher in the group with poor sleep quality. Parallel to this, the force transferred to the posterior part of the foot on the left side was also lower in the same group. Conclusion: Sleep quality did not affect balance with eyes open, but negatively affected balance with eyes closed. The balance of force transferred to the non -dominant foot of the group with poor sleep quality was impaired.

    Postural stability and flexibility responses of yoga training in women: Are improvements similar in both sexes?
    (Taylor & Francis Inc, 2023) Inal, Ozgu; Keklicek, Hilal; Karahan, Menekse; Ulucam, Enis
    The researchers' aim is to examine the postural stability and flexibility responses of yoga training in women. The authors conducted the yoga training program 2 days a week and they assessed flexibility using the sit and reach test, trunk hyperextension test and trunk lateral flexion test. The researchers measured static and dynamic balance employing the device and database system. Then, the authors repeated all assesments were at the end of the first, the fifth and the tenth sessions. As a result of this study, the researchers revealed that the male participants had significantly poorer results in a single parameter (longitudinal sway) when compared with the female group, but the groups were statistically equivalent in this parameter after the first yoga training session. The authors also revealed that yoga was effective in improving flexibility among healthy young adults of both sexes, although the males showed greater improvement than females in the flexibility results.

    Static Postural Control Data Analysis in Patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis
    (Erciyes Univ Sch Medicine, 2023) Karahan, Menekse; Parlak, Muhammed; Kayatekin, Ayse Zeynep Yilmazer; Ulucam, Enis; Tastekin, Nurettin
    Objective: The goal of our study was to determine how ankylosing spondylitis, a chronic inflammatory disease, affected patient's balance.Materials and Methods: Thirty-one healthy volunteers and thirty-five patients with ankylosing spondylitis and no comor-bidities affecting their balance participated in the study. Bipedal balance analysis was performed with the subjects' eyes open and closed in each group. The position of the center of pressure during the measurement was evaluated.Results: The mediolateral deviation of the center of pressure (p=0.035) and the total path length (p=0.042) were signifi-cantly higher in the patient group when measured with eyes open. PL was significantly longer in the patient group when measured with eyes closed (p=0.002).Conclusion: We observed that ankylosing spondylitis negatively affected the balance in patients. Since this disease usually occurs in the young population, it should be taken into consideration that balance impairment can complicate daily life, espe-cially in the professional world. Therefore, it can be useful to consider the balance disorder in the treatment, and the patients should be monitored for an extended period.
