Öğe Association between the physical activity level and the quality of life of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(Soc Physical Therapy Science, 2016-01) Dereli, Elif Elçin[Purpose] Physical activity and regular exercise play an important role in glycemic control, which is considered an important part of the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study evaluated physical activity level and its relationship with quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. [Subjects and Methods] We evaluated 129 subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus through a face-to-face interview using the short version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire and Diabetes-39. Demographic data, diabetes symptoms, time of initial diagnosis, and treatment procedure/approaches were recorded. [Results] Of the study subjects, 51 (39.5%) had low, 67 had moderate (51.9%), and 11 (8.5%) had high activity levels. The mean weekly sitting duration was 302 minutes. The mean weekly walking time was 231.7 minutes. Except for the "diabetes control" domain, scores for all the subgroups and the total score in the quality-of-life assessment had a statistically significant negative correlation with physical activity level. [Discussion] Physical inactivity negatively affects the quality of life of diabetic patients. A planned exercise education program and incorporation of exercise into the lifestyle can improve the quality of life of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Öğe Comparison of efficiency of Kinesio (R) taping and electrical stimulation in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome(Turkish Assoc Orthopaedics Traumatology, 2012-09) Dereli, Elif Elçin; Kuru, Tuğba; Yalıman, AyşeObjective: The aim of this study was to compare the efficiency of Kinesio (R) taping and electrical stimulation in the treatment of patellofemoral pain syndrome. Methods: Thirty patients (26 females, 4 females; mean age: 32.9 +/- 12.2 years) with patellofemoral pain syndrome were equally divided into two groups; the KT group receiving Kinesio (R) taping and an exercise program, and the ES group receiving electrical stimulation and the same exercise program. All patients received stretching and strengthening exercises for the lower extremity under the supervision of a physiotherapist in the outpatient unit 3 times a week for 6 weeks (18 sessions). Patients were evaluated for pain (visual analog scale), range of motion (using a goniometer), muscle strength (manual muscle test), functional condition (step test, triple-jump test, knee flexion test and Kujala patellofemoral score), and quality of life (SF-36) before and after treatment. Results: Visual analog scale scores were reduced by 3.33 and 3.93 and Kujala patellofemoral scores increased by 8.93 and 9.66 for the KT and ES groups, respectively. Both these improvements were statistically significant (p<0.05). While improvements were observed in functional tests, range of motion, and muscle strength values in both groups; there were no significant differences between the two groups (p>0.05). There were statistically significant improvements in the SF-36 scores in both groups (p<0.05) and these improvements were of a similar rate (p>0.05). Conclusion: Kinesio (R) taping and electrical stimulation have similar effects on decreasing pain, improving functional condition, increasing muscle strength and improving quality of life and neither are superior in the treatment of patellofemoral pain syndrome.Öğe Scoliosis screening results of primary school students (11-15 years old group) in the west side of Istanbul(Soc Physical Therapy Science, 2015-09) Dereli, Elif Elçin; Apti, Adnan; Çolak, Tuğba Kuru; Özdinçler, Arzu Razak; Çolak, İlker[Purpose] The present study aimed to find out the scoliosis prevalence 11-15 years old children and to create awareness about scoliosis. [Subjects and Methods] All of the children were assessed using the Adams Forward Bendings Test and a scoliometer. Sagittal plane changes such as kyphosis, lordosis, hypokyphosis, hypolordosis and anterior head tilt were screened. Children with trunk rotation angles (ATR) of 4 degrees or more were suspected of having scoliosis, and were evaluated for a second time for gibbosity height, arm-trunk distance, and ATR. [Results] A total of 2,207 children were screened and the evaluation revealed there were 11 girls (0.49%) with a Cobb angle of 10 degrees and more. The maximum Cobb angle was 43 degrees (right thoracic-left lumbar) and the maximum ATR was 12 degrees. Two children had kyphosis and lordosis, and one had hypokyphosis and was diagnosed as having idiopathic scoliosis. [Conclusion] Families should regularly check their children, even if they are not diagnosed as having scoliosis in school screenings. It is our opinion that our study increased the awareness of the families about scoliosis by screening, brochures and posters. In the future, if school screenings were performed as a routine procedure and scoliotic students were followed over the long term, the actual effectiveness of screening would be able to be detected.Öğe Turkish Version Study of "Parkinson's Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire" (PDQL)(2015) Dereli, Elif Elçin; Özdinçler, Arzu Razak; Çolaka, Tuğba Kuru; Demirbaş, Feyza Şule Badıllı; Yalıman, Ayşe; Reyhan, Aycan ÇakmakAmaç: Bu çalışma Parkinson hastalığı olan hastaların yaşam kalitesini de- ğerlendirmek için geliştirilen "Parkinson Hastalığı Yaşam Kalitesi Sorgulama Formu'nun (PDQL-TR)" Türkçe kültürel adaptasyonunu, geçerlilik ve gü- venilirliğini araştırmayı amaçlamıştır. Yöntem: İstanbul Üniversitesi İstanbul Tıp Fakültesi, Fiziksel Tıp ve Rehabilitasyon Anabilim Dalı'nın polikliniğine Haziran 2005-Nisan 2008 tarihleri arasında başvuran, Parkinson hastalığı tanısı almış 89 hasta çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. PDQL'in Türkçe versiyonu (PDQL-TR), "Birleştirilmiş Parkinson Hastalığı Derecelendirme Ölçeği" (UPDRS), "Hoehn & Yahr (H & Y) skalası" temel sonuç ölçüm yöntemleri olarak kullanıdı. Bulgular: PDQL-TR, H&Y ve UPDRS skalaları için hesaplanmış Pearson korelasyon katsayısı -0,36 ve-0,80 arasında değişmekteydi. PDQL-TR sorgulama formunun total ve alt grup skorlarının Cronbach alpha katsayısı 0,80'den yüksekti. Madde toplam puan değeri Pearson korelasyon kat sayı- sı 0,40 (4.soru-toplam skor) ve 0,88 (26. soru-toplam skor) arasında değiş- mekteydi, alt-grup toplam skorlarının korelasyon katsayıları ise 0,81 ile 0,96 arasındaydı. PDQL-TR'nin sınıf içi korelasyon sonuçları 0,75 (emosyonel fonksiyon) ve 0,88 (Parkinson semptomları) aralığında yer alarak, yüksek stabilite göstermiştir. Sonuç: PDQL-TR'nin psikometrik özellikleri memnuniyet vericidir ve sonuçlarımız önceki literatür bulgularıyla uyum göstermektedir. PDQL-TR Parkinson hastalığı olan hastaların sağlıkla ilişkili yaşam kalitelerini ölçmede geçerli ve güvenilir bir sorgulama formudur.Öğe Turkish version study of Parkinson’s disease quality of life questionnaire (PDQL)(Nöropsikiyatri Arşivi, 2015) Çakmak, Aycan; Dereli, Elif ElçinABSTRACT: Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate Turkish transcultural adaptation, reliability, and validity of “Parkinson’s Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire” (PDQL), which has been developed to assess the quality of life of patients with Parkinson’s disease. Methods: Eighty-nine patients who were included in the study were diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. They were presented to the outpatient clinic of the Istanbul Faculty of Medicine, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation department between July 2005 and April 2008. The Turkish translated version of PDQL (PDQL-TR), “Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale” (UPDRS), and Hoehn & Yahr (HY) were used as the main outcome measures. Results: The calculated Pearson correlation coefficient for PDQL, H&Y, and UPDRS ranged between ?0.36 and ?0.80. Cronbach’s alpha coefficients of the PDQL-TR complete questionnaire and subdomains were higher than 0.80. The absolute value of item-total score correlation coefficients by Pearson fluctuated between 0.40 (question 4-total score) and 0.88 (question 26-total score), whereas the subdomain-total score correlation coefficients ranged between 0.81 and 0.96. PDQL-TR showed high stability according to the ICC results, ranging between 0.75 (Emotional Function) and 0.88 (Parkinsonian Symptoms). Conclusion: The psychometric features of PDQL-TR are satisfactory, and our results are consistent with the previous literature findings. PDQLTR is a valid and reliable tool to measure health-related quality of life in patients with Parkinson’s disease.
