BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: A number of exercises to strengthen the upper extremities are recommended to increase functional independence and quality of life (QoL) in patients with paraplegia. Circuit resistance training (CRT) is a type of progressive resistive exercise performed repeatedly at fixed mechanical exercise stations. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential benefits of CRT for upper extremity muscle strength, functional independence, and QoL in patients with paraplegia.

Enhancing Posterior Pelvic Tilt Exercise By Providing Motivation Inducing Feedback to the Patient Tomsuk, Emrah; Koku, Ahmet Buğra; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2008) The aim of this study is to develop a set-up that can be used by patients performing posterior pelvic tilt exercises to assess and improve the effectiveness of the exercise by visual feedbacks. Lifetime of low back pain prevalence is between %60 and %90. In other words almost everyone encounters the problem of low back pain sometime during their life. Therapeutic and protective exercises are the most important components of treatment for the low back pain. People who have mechanical based low back pain due ...
Reliability of a Novel Visual Feedback System Developed for Increasing the Efficiency of Posterior Pelvic Tilt Exercise Mengi, Gonen; Gencay-Can, Asli; Demirsoy, Nesrin; Tomsuk, Emrah; Koku, Ahmet Buğra; Beyazova, Mehmet (2014-09-01) Objectives: This study aimed to develop and assess the reliability of a visual feedback system intended to improve the patient's perception and the performance of posterior pelvic tilt [PPT] exercises. The feedback setup designed and constructed by the authors included a bed covered with a mat with three embedded force sensors corresponding to the lumbosacral region of the subject lying supine; a data acquisition card to collect and convert data; and two monitors, one above the subject and one on the physic...
The evaluation of radiofrequency facet nerve denervation in the patients with lumbar facet syndrome: experience with 493 patients Mimaroglu, Caner; Mimaroglu Altinay, Beste; Duger, Cevdet; Isbir, Ahmet Cemil; Gursoy, Sinan; KAYGUSUZ, KENAN; Kol, Iclal Ozdemir (2017-12-01) Objective: Radio frequency thermocoagulation (RFT) is a relatively new modality and has been recommended for treatment of back pain diagnosed as to be originating from spinal facet joints. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of this novel procedure in our patients with lumbar facet syndrome in our department of algology.
Realization of human gait in virtual fluid environment on a robotic gait trainer for therapeutic purposes Ertop, Tayfun Efe; Yuksel, Tolga; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan (Elsevier BV, 2018-7) Patients with disorders such as spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy and stroke can perform full gait when assisted, which progressively helps them regain the ability to walk. A very common way to create assistive effects is aquatic therapy. Aquatic environment also creates resistive effects desired for strength building. In this study, realization of a virtual fluid environment on a robotic gait trainer is presented as an alternative method. A model was created to determine torques and forces acting on the h...
Effects of custom made insole on gait pattern of patients with unilateral displaced intra articular calcaneal fracture evaluation with computerized gait analysis ÖÇGÜDER, Ali; GÖK, HAYDAR; HEYCAN, Cengiz; O, TECİMEL; Tönük, Ergin; BOZKURT, MURAT (AVES Publishing Co., 2012-01-01) Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate whether use of custom-fabricated insoles improves the gait pattern in patients with displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures. Methods: Fourteen patients (7 female, 7 male; mean age: 39±12 years) and 11 healthy individuals (mean age: 42±13 years) were included in the study. Treatment protocol included conservative treatment involving immobilization, with or without closed reduction, active exercises, wear of a customfabricated insole and prospective fo...
