    Ankilozan Spondilitli Bireylerde Hangi Solunum Eğitimi Daha Etkilidir: 360-Derece Ekspanse Diyafram Egzersizleri Mi, Standart Diyafram Egzersizleri Mi? Randomize Kontrollü Çalışma
    (2025) Urak, Özkan; Sari, Ismail; Gurpinar, Baris; Yeşilyurt, Seda Yakıt
    Amaç: Solunum komplikasyonları genellikle asemptomatik olsa da Ankilozan Spondilit (AS) hastalarında önemli bir morbidite ve mortalite nedenidir. Egzersizin AS yönetimindeki kanıtlanmış faydalarına rağmen, geleneksel diyafram nefesi ile göğüs kafesinin tamamını hedefleyen çok boyutlu, yenilikçi yaklaşımların karşılaştırıldığı sınırlı sayıda çalışma bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışma, standart diyafram nefesi ile sensör destekli 360 derece ekspanse diyafram nefesi egzersizlerinin solunum fonksiyonu, hastalık aktivitesi ve fiziksel kapasite üzerindeki etkilerini değerlendirerek bu boşluğu doldurmayı amaçlamıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: AS tanısı almış 50 birey, standart diyafram nefesi grubu (DG) veya 360 derece ekspanse diyafram nefesi grubu (360DG) olmak üzere rastgele iki gruba ayrılmıştır. Her iki gruba da altı hafta boyunca haftada iki kez denetimli egzersiz uygulanmıştır. Değerlendirilen sonuçlar arasında solunum fonksiyon testleri, maksimal inspiratuvar ve ekspiratuvar basınçlar (MIP/MEP) ve AS’ye özgü indeksler yer almıştır. Bulgular: Her iki grupta da işlevsel indeksler ve solunum parametrelerinde anlamlı iyileşmeler gözlemlenmiş, ancak gruplar arası farklar istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmamıştır (p>0,05). Özellikle, DG grubunda FEV1/FVC oranında anlamlı bir artış (p = 0,017), 360DG grubunda ise FVC değerinde anlamlı bir artış (p = 0,007) saptanmıştır. Solunum kas gücü (MIP ve MEP) her iki grupta da anlamlı şekilde artmıştır (p<0,05). Sonuç: Bu randomize kontrollü çalışma, AS’de 360 derece ekspanse diyafram nefesi egzersizlerini değerlendiren ilk çalışmalardan biridir. Bulgular hem standart hem de sensör destekli nefes egzersizlerinin solunum ve fonksiyonel sonuçları iyileştirmede güvenli ve etkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu sonuçlar, fizyoterapistler ve klinisyenler için kişiye özel solunum eğitiminin AS rehabilitasyon programlarına entegre edilmesinin klinik önemini vurgulamakta ve hasta bakımını geliştirmek için esnek, kanıta dayalı stratejiler sunmaktadır.

    Changes in Respiratory Muscle Pressure of Healthy Individuals With Different Levels of Immersion in Water: Observational Study
    (Dokuz Eylul Univ Inst Health Sciences, 2023) Gurpinar, Baris; Özyürek, Seher; Elvan, Ata; Tükel, Şermin
    Purpose: Understanding the physiological effects of immersion, particularly on pulmonary dynamics in healthy individuals is important to predict and interpret the physiological responds in unhealthy group. The aim of our study is to evaluate the inspiratory and expiratory muscle strength and cough strength in healthy individuals during water immersion at different water depths. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 24 healthy individuals with the mean age 20.0 years. Respiratory muscle strength test and cough force were tested on dry land and in pool at iliac crests, xiphoid appendix of the sternum and clavicles levels. Measurements were randomized at each level. The Friedman test was used for repeated measures with Wilcoxon signed ranks test with Bonferroni correction was applies to compare the variables. Results: A significant difference between dry land and immersion in water of different levels for MEP (p=0.001) and PEF (p= 0.015). Multiple comparisons showed no difference between levels in PEF (p<0.001), whereas MEP values measured in clavicles level was significantly higher than both dry land and iliac crest level (p<0.0125). Conclusion: Clavicle level immersion alters respiratory muscle strength when compared with the values measured out of the water and immersed at the iliac crest level in healthy individuals.

    Practices of Physiotherapists on the Risk of Falls and Prevention in Clients Aged 65 and Older: Online Survey Results
    (Dokuz eylul univ inst health sciences, 2024) Tuna, Hülya; Gurpınar, Barış; İlçin, Nursen
    Purpose: Physiotherapists frequently interact with elderly clients. We aimed to determine the physiotherapists' practices for fall risk and prevention in clients at 65 years and older. Material and Methods: Seventy-two physiotherapists responded to online survey including questions about demographic and professional characteristics, the awareness and practices of physiotherapists on falling and preventing falls. Results: Ninety-one point seven percent of physiotherapists reported that fall risk should be determined in all clients at 65 years and older. Thirty point six percent of them stated that they evaluated the risk of falling in case of necessity, 83.3% stated that they did not use a standard assessment-treatment flow chart for risk of falling. In elderly clients with low or no risk of falling, 8.1% of physiotherapists; In elderly clients with high risk of falling 83.3% of physiotherapist applied a preventive physiotherapy approach to prevent falls. The rate of physiotherapists who provide education and advice on fall prevention to elderly clients with low or no fall risk is 67.9%, while 73.5% prefer assistive device reclamation in elderly clients with a high risk of falling. Conclusion: Interventions should be planned to improve fall risk awareness and practices among physiotherapists by following a standard assessment-treatment flow chart for their clients 65 years and older.

    Evaluation of Fall Presentations in Patients Over 65 Years of Age Admitted To the Emergency Department of a Hospital in Türkiye
    (Turkish Geriatrics Soc, 2024) Gürpınar, Barış; Tuna Donat, Hülya; İlcin, Nursen
    Introduction:Falls Falls are a major cause of mobility and mortality among older adults. Regional monitoring and analysis of the risks and outcomes associated with falls are important for developing preventive approaches. Materials and Method: This cross-sectional analysis retrospectively reviewed the electronic medical records of older adults (aged >= 65 years) who presented to the emergency department of a university hospital in Izmir, Turkey between January 2019 and January 2020. Information regarding pre-fall, fall-related, and post-fall treatments was analyzed. Results: Over one year, 2,037 older patients (68.4% [n=1,349] women, with a mean age of 80.65+7.50 years) presented to the emergency department because of falls. Unfortunately, many important pieces of fall-related data were not routinely recorded at the institution. According to the available records, the majority of the patients were physically active (84.4%), lived independently (53.6%), and most frequently fell as a result of tripping or stumbling (88.1%). Of the patients, 74.9% were discharged; however, no information was available regarding whether they were informed about fall prevention before discharge. Head trauma was the most common cause of admission (n=415), and hip fractures were the leading surgical causes (n=175). The presence of chronic disease (p=0.910), age (p=0.274), and sex (p=0.304) did not affect the risk of fractures after falling. Conclusion: Fall prevention is a more feasible and efficacious strategy than addressing the resultant complications. The current practice of analyzing the fall risks of individuals who present to emergency departmentwith falls and directing them to preventive programs is insufficient to address this issue.

    Cross-Cultural Adaptation and Validation of the Turkish Version of the 25-Question Geriatric Locomotive Function Scale
    (Turkish Geriatrics Soc, 2025) İlçin, Nursen; Tuna, Hülya; Gurpinar, Baris
    Introduction: Locomotive syndrome, characterized by gait disorders, loss of balance, and cognitive difficulties, significantly impacts older adults by increasing morbidity and reducing independence. This study aimed to adapt the 25-item Geriatric Locomotive Function Scale into Turkish and evaluate its validity and reliability. Materials and Method: The translation process involved forward and backward translations by bilingual experts to ensure linguistic and conceptual equivalence with the original scale. A total of 250 individuals aged ≥65 years participated, completing the Turkish version of the scale alongside functional mobility tests; the timed up-and-go, five repetitions of sit-to-stand, two-step, and standing tests. Participants repeated the scale 1 week after the initial evaluation to assess the test–retest reliability. Results: The internal consistency of the Turkish version was excellent (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.952). Test–retest reliability, assessed 1 week apart, yielded an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.974, indicating excellent reliability. Concurrent validity was examined by correlating scale scores with functional test results. Significant correlations were observed (p < 0.001), with Pearson’s correlation coefficients of 0.472 for timed up-and-go, 0.504 for five repetitions of sit-to-stand, -0.871 for the two-step test, and -0.518 for the standing test. These findings demonstrate that the Turkish version is a valid and reliable tool for assessing mobility impairment and functional limitation in older adults. Conclusion: The adaptation and validation of the 25-item Geriatric Locomotive Function Scale into Turkish provide a comprehensive measure for evaluating and monitoring locomotor function, supporting early detection and intervention in this population.
