Öğe An online pilates exercise program is effective on proprioception and core muscle endurance in a randomized controlled trial(Springer London Ltd, 2022) Suner-Keklik, Sinem; Numanoglu-Akbas, Ayse; Cobanoglu, Gamze; Kafa, Nihan; Guzel, Nevin A.Background Proprioception is important for stability of body segments, postural control, and functionality. However, there are no studies in literature showing effects of online Pilates exercises that create proprioceptive inputs on vertebra on trunk proprioception. Aims This study aims to reveal effect of online Pilates exercises conducted on trunk proprioception and core muscle endurance in healthy individuals. Methods We included thirty-three healthy individuals between ages of 18 and 25 in study. Individuals were randomly divided into two groups. There were 17 individuals in Pilates group (PG), and 16 individuals in control group (CG). The PG was given online Pilates exercises by the physiotherapist in groups 3 days a week for 6 weeks, 1 h a day. There was no exercise program recommended for individuals in CG. We evaluated trunk proprioception with an inclinometer, core muscle endurance with three core endurance tests created by McGill, and prone bridge tests. All evaluations completed just before start of study and 2 days after 6-week training. Results Two groups had similar demographic characteristics, and there was no difference between baseline measurements (p > 0.05). While improvement observed in PG in trunk proprioception and all of core muscle endurance tests (p < 0.05), no statistically significant difference reported in CG (p > 0.05). Conclusions We revealed that online Pilates exercises performed at mat level for 6 weeks in healthy individuals had positive effects on trunk proprioception and core muscle endurance with this study. Contribution of Pilates exercises to development of both muscular endurance and proprioceptive senses, even if performed at a distance, is important.Öğe Evaluation of daily and social participation of children with Cerebral Palsy across different age groups with a focus on the 'F?-words: Function, family, fitness, fun, friends and future(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2023) Kerem-Gunel, Mintaze; Arslan, Umut Ece; Seyhan-Biyik, Kubra; Ozal, Cemil; Numanoglu-Akbas, Ayse; Unes, Sefa; Tuncdemir, MerveBackground: The impact of disability differs across cultures. This study aimed to determine the predictors of participation in children with cerebral palsy (CP) in Turkey, based on the six F -words. Methods: Cross-sectional study exploring participation profiles of 450 children with CP, aged between 2 and 18 years. Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI) evaluated functional skills, and Assessment of Life Habits (LIFE-H) version 3.0 assessed daily and social participation. Hierarchical linear regression models were done to determine the predictors of participation in daily activities (PDA) and social roles (PSR) in three age groups (2-4, 5-13 and 14-18 years) based on the 6 F-words (mobility of PEDI for 'fitness'; four classification systems and self-care of PEDI for 'functioning'; social functions of PEDI for 'friends'; demographic information by parents for 'family'; the recreation of LIFE-H for 'fun'; and different stages of development for 'future'). Results: The most important predictors for total PDA by age group were: self-care (p = 0.012) of PEDI in 2-4 y; self-care (p = 0.001) and mobility (p = 0.005) of PEDI in 5-13 y; GMFCS (p = 0.006) and mobility (p = 0.002) of PEDI in 14-18 y. Significant predictors for PSR differed by age group: self-care (p = 0.001) of PEDI in 2-4 y; self-care (p = 0.023) and mobility (p = 0.006) of PEDI in 5-13 y; and GMFCS (p = 0.004) and MACS (p = 0.003) in 14-18 y. Conclusions: Six F-words of function and fitness focussed on self-care in younger children with an increasing emphasis on mobility and ability levels according to age. Therefore, rehabilitation for different aspects of the functional levels is needed to improve participation in life across the six F -words framework; plus take into consideration context, age-differences, family's expectations, life requirements, environmental needs, and cultural differences.Öğe Investigation of the relationship between smart phone addiction and physical activity in university students(Gdansk Univ Physical Education & Sport, 2020) Numanoglu-Akbas, Ayse; Suner-Keklik, Sinem; Yakut, HaticeBackground: The purpose of this research was to determine the university students' characteristics regarding smartphone usage and physical activity and to investigate the relationship between smart phone addiction and the physical activity levels. Material and methods: A total of 288 (female = 159 and male = 129) students were involved in this observational study. Smartphone usage characteristics of the participants were recorded. The short form of the Smartphone Addiction Scale was used to assess their smartphone addiction, and the short form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used to assess their physical activity levels. Results: It was found that 37.7% of the females and 27.9% of the males were at risk of smartphone addiction. There was no difference between the males and females in terms of smartphone addiction (p>0.05). There was no difference in the physical activity levels of the participants regardless of smartphone addiction (p > 0.05). A weak negative correlation was found between smartphone addiction and moderate physical activity score (r = -0.126, p = 0.047). Conclusions: According to this study, the university students showed inadequate levels of physical activity and were at risk of smartphone addiction. Considering the negative correlation between smartphone addiction and moderate physical activity, access to physical activity facilities in universities should be facilitated, and awareness on this issue should be increased.Öğe Physical activity and exercise benefits/barriers in mothers of children with motor disabilities(Springer London Ltd, 2022) Ozkan, Rabia Seva; Numanoglu-Akbas, AyseBackground Mothers of children with motor disabilities face physical and emotional burdens. Aims This study aimed to determine the physical activity levels, exercise-related barriers, and facilitators in mothers of children with motor disabilities and investigate the differences between the physical activity levels of mothers who have children with different motor functional status. Methods In this cross-sectional study, mothers were assessed with the Exercise Benefits/Barriers Scale (EBBS) and International Physical Activity Questionnaire short form (IPAQ-SF). The motor functional status of the children was classified by Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), and the mothers were divided into two groups (GMFCS level I, II = mild motor disability n = 28, GMFCS level III-V = moderate-to-severe motor disability, n = 37) according to the motor level of their children. Results Sixty-nine mothers (36.56 +/- 7.25 65) were included in this study. None of the mothers had adequate levels of physical activity (0%). According to the EBBS, the most frequently reported exercise barrier was lack of time (mothers of children with mild motor disability n = 26, 92.85%, the mothers of children with moderate-to-severe motor disability n = 34, 91.89%). The physical activity levels of the mothers of children with mild motor disability were higher compared to the mothers of children with moderate-to-severe motor disability (p = 0.032). Conclusion This study has revealed that the physical activity levels of mothers of children with motor disabilities are low, and this is related to the gross motor function level of the children. The focus should be on increasing the physical activity levels of mothers of children with motor disabilities.Öğe The effects of fatigue, gross motor function, and gender on participation in life situations of school-aged children with cerebral palsy: A parental perspective(Elsevier France-Editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, 2022) Seyhan-Biyik, Kubra; Arslan, Umut Ece; Ozal, Cemil; Cankaya, Ozge; Numanoglu-Akbas, Ayse; Unes, Sefa; Tuncdemir, MerveObjective: To investigate the effects of fatigue, gross motor function, and gender on participation in life situations of school-aged children with cerebral palsy (CP) from a parental perspective. Methods: The study included 209 children with CP aged between 5 and 13 years (mean age, 8.06 +/- 2.41 years; girls, 45.5%) and their parents. Fatigue, gross motor function, and participation status were evaluated with the Pediatric Quality of Life (PedsQL), Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), and the Assessment of Life Habits (Life-H) questionnaire, respectively. The effects of fatigue, gross motor function, and gender on participation were investigated with linear regression analysis. Results: According to parental reports, 79.9% of the children had fatigue. Children in all GMFCS levels experienced fatigue. Fatigue and GMFCS levels were dependent variables, and therefore only simple linear regression analyses were performed. Fatigue explained 38-43% of the variances in daily activities, social roles, and total Life-H scores, while gross motor function explained 48-65% of the variances in scores (p < 0.001). Gender had no effect on participation scores (p > 0.05). Conclusion: More than two thirds of the school-aged children with CP had fatigue. Fatigue and poor gross motor function had a negative effect on participation in daily activities and social roles. (c) 2022 French Society of Pediatrics. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS.
