    Immediate effect of kinesio taping on deep cervical flexor endurance: A non-controlled, quasi-experimental pre-post quantitative study
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022) Tuna, Filiz; Tuncer, Berna; Can, Hilal Basak; Sut, Necdet; Tuna, Hakan
    Objective Whether Kinesio taping (R) (KT) might change the endurance of the cervical deep flexor muscles.Methods: Healthy university students were assessed at baseline, immediately after the KT application over the posterior cervical muscles, and at a 24-h follow-up. The clinical assessment of the endurance of the deep cervical flexor muscles using the craniocervical flexion test (CCFT) was performed.Results: Sixty-two students (32 women) with a mean age of 20.4 +/- 1.3 years completed the study protocol. Statistically significant pre- to post-taping differences in performance of the craniocervical flexion movement were found between baseline-immediate and baseline-24-h follow-up (p<0.001). A statistically significant difference in the endurance of the cervical deepflexor muscles was found between baseline-immediate (for stage 2 result and cumulative endurance score), baseline-24-h follow-up (for stage 2result and cumulative endurance score), and immediate-24-h follow-up (for stage 2 result, for cumulative endurance score) p<0.01.Conclusion: Cervical KT increased endurance for the short term.

    Telephone-based joint protection education in lateral epicondylitis: A randomized controlled trial
    (Ios Press, 2022) Inal, Ozgu; Tuncer, Berna
    BACKGROUND: Lateral epicondylitis (LE) can occur for many different reasons such as compelling repetitive movements in daily readings, incorrect posture use and work-related factors. Although several treatments are available for LE, the optimal evidence-based treatment remains uncertain. Joint protection techniques have been developed as a self-management intervention to reduce pain and disability and improve functionality by applying ergonomic approaches. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the effects of telephone-based followup on top of a home-based joint protection education programme on pain and functionality in individuals with LE. METHODS: Individuals were randomly assigned into 2 groups; 1) telephone-based group, receiving telephone-based follow-up on top of a home-based joint protection education programme, and 2) home-based group, receiving home-based joint protection education alone. Both groups were given training that increased awareness in LE and home-based exercise programme. In addition, telephone-based group was followed up by telephone three days a week for four weeks. RESULTS: Improvements from baseline to 4th week in Turkish version of the Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation-pain (p = 0.001; effect size = 1.11) and function (p < 0.001; effect size = 1.77), Upper Extremity Functional Index (p = 0.001; effect size = 0.85) and The Turkish version of the Joint Protection Behavior Assessment-Short Form (p < 0.001; effect size = 1.54) in the telephone-based group were significantly higher than the improvements in the home-based group. CONCLUSIONS: Telephone-based follow-up in individuals with LE contributed to the awareness of pain, functionality and joint protection methods. Telephone-based joint protection education programmes can offer a health service within the scope of preventive and protective intervention programmes for LE.
