    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.

    Primary dysmenorrhea and postural control: Is it a problem only during menstruation?
    (Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2021) Keklicek, Hilal; Aydin, Nimet Sermenli; Can, Hilal Basak; Aydin, Didem Donmez; Kayatekin, Ayse Zeynep Yilmazer; Ulucam, Enis
    Background: The effects of the menstrual cycle and primary dysmenorrhea (PD) on phase-related cognitive and physical functions are controversial. This study was carried out to examine whether women with PD showed a different physical function or dual-tasking response than women without PD at times other than menstruation. Methods: Women with or without PD were recruited for the study. Individuals assessed on the first day of the menstruation and the day they reported themselves as well being (feeling good day-FGD). Zebris ? FDM Type Force Platform was used to evaluate postural stability. Individuals have were asked to perform to a 3-step balance test protocol; the first session: comfortable upright standing; the second session: standing with a motor task; the third session: standing with a cognitive task (counting backward). Correctly calculated numbers were also recorded. Results: The number of correct answers given by individuals during the cognitive dual-task was similar on the first day of menstruation and FGD (p 0,05). In the assessments performed on the first day of menstruation, there was no difference in any parameters between the groups (p 0.05). In the measurements made on FGD day with the cognitive task; there was a difference between the groups (p < 0,05). Individuals with PD had higher postural sway. Significance: This study showed that the primary dysmenorrhea is not only a problem for females during menstruation, primary dysmenorrhea causes impaired ability of the individual to perform dual-tasking and continuously affects postural stability.

    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.
