Öğe Effects of Hypermobility on Schober Test and Chest Expansion Scores(Trakya Üniversitesi, 2017) Girit, Çağrı; Varnalı, Semih; Çifcibaşı, Hilal Sena; Birtane, MuratAims: Hypermobility is a condition which increases the joint mobility range. Beighton method is used in diagnosisof hypermobility. Schober test and chest expansion measurement are frequently used to evaluate mobility of spineand expansion ability of chest in ankylosing spondylitis volunteers. In this study, it is aimed to investigate the impactof hypermobility on Schober test and chest expansion.Methods: The data of 300 healthy volunteers aged between 18 and 32 was collected. Beighton score, chest expansionand Schober score of all volunteers were measured and statistically analyzed using SPSS. Student’s t-test wasperformed to compare both groups. As for descriptive statistics, mean ± standard deviation and numbers were used.Results: One hundred twenty-two cases having Beighton score of 4 and above included in hypermobility groupwhile 178 cases under 4 served as control group without hypermobility. No significant relation in terms of chest expansionand Schober score was found out between groups. There was a slight positive correlation between Beightonscore and Schober score in whole group. In male population, both test scores had a correlation with Beighton scorewhile only chest expansion had correlation in female population.Conclusion: Although Beighton score seemed to have no effect on Schober or chest expansion scores in betweengroup comparisons, correlation analysis revealed that hypermobility may affect the scores, especially in males.Öğe Evaluation of Physical Exercise'S Effects on Low Back Pain Among University Students With Short Form-36 and Oswestry Disability Index(Trakya Üniversitesi, 2020) Mutlu, Arda Ulaş; Aydın, Bilgesu; Ecertaştan, Özge; Öğüt, Eren; Güvenç Tuna, Bilge; Tuna, HakanAims: This study aims to investigate the main effects of physical exercise on lower back pain with the Short Form-36 Health Survey and Oswestry Disability Index scores. Methods: University students between 18-25 years old who suffer from low back pain were enrolled in the study. Short Form-36 Health Survey and Oswestry Disability Index were used as the reference scales of lower back pain and quality of life, respectively. There are some questions in the questionnaire to scale the average comfort of the place they sleep and sit during the day, which is the result of the Personal Comfort Score. The Mann-Whitney U test was used for non-normal distributed variables. Correlation and Linear Regression were used to analyze data. SPSS 25.0 was used for all statistical analysis. Results: A total of 139 university students (94 females, 45 males) were included in the study. The median age was 20 years (IQR=2) for female students and 20 years (IQR=1) for male students. Oswestry Disability Index scores of fe- male students were higher, while Short Form-36 scores were lower than the male students. Male students' physical functioning scores were higher than female students. Each one-unit increase in Personal Comfort Score is associated with an increase in the rate between the energy/fatigue (3.34 units). Body Mass Index considerably affected the pain and Oswestry Disability Score, an increase in one unit of baseline BMI upsurged the Short Form-36 pain score to 0.13, and Oswestry disability score to 0.55. Conc- lusion: In our study, Body Mass Index is found to be associated with Oswestry Disability Index and Short Form-36 score, which are used for the severity of low back pain and defining the life quality and of patients. PCS had a positive correlation between energy/fatigue. In addition, There was a positive correlation between physical exercise and general health score.Öğe The Cut-off Values for the Diagnosis of Hamstring Shortness and Related Factors(2018) Yıldırım, Muhammed Şeref; Tuna, Filiz; Kabayel, Derya Demirbağ; Süt, NecdetBackground: Hamstrings are one of the most frequently evaluated muscle groups for flexibility in the lower extremity. Passive and active knee extension angle values are used as an indirect indicator of hamstring flexibility. However, the lack of consensus on the cut-off values leads to the use of inconsistent angle values in determining the hamstring tightness. Aims: To establish the normative and cut-off values of the passive and active knee extension angles for healthy young adults and to determine the associated factors including the quadriceps strength. Study Design: A cross-sectional study. Methods: A total of 123 volunteer university students, aged 18-24 years, who met the inclusion criteria were included in this study. Passive and active knee extension assessments of the subjects were performed. Subsequently, on the next day, both knee extensor concentric muscle strength of the participants was measured in the isokinetic system. The knee extension angles and the knee extensor strength were recorded as the mean values of the right and the left sides. Results: Passive knee extension angles of 17.1°±9.1° and 9.8°±5.7° and active knee extension angles of 17.8°±9.1° and 13.4°±6° were described as normative values in men and women, respectively. The cut-off values for the diagnosis of hamstring shortness were as follows: passive knee extension angle >32.2° for males and >19.2° for females and active knee extension angle >33.0° for males and >23.4° for females. A significant positive correlation was observed between knee extension angles and isokinetic knee extensor muscle strength in all participants. The knee extension angle and hamstring flexibility were not affected by dominance. Conclusion: The knee extension angles of healthy young people seem to be lower than the results currently reported in the literature. There s a positive correlation between knee extension angles and isokinetic knee extensor muscle strength.
