Methods A cross-sectional study of university students was conducted for the purpose of this study. The participants were assessed based on age, gender, dominant side, the amount of time they spent on their smartphones, the purpose of their use, and their posture. The Smartphone Addiction Scale Short Form (SAS-SF) was used to determine addictes and non-addicts. The cut-off value of SAS-SF is 31 and above for male and 33 and above for female. Results There were 136 participants in the study. The posture score for addicts and non-addicts ones was not significantly different (p > 0,05), but the number of trigger points, maximal bending posture and trigger points in the right levator scapula and right cervical erector muscles were significantly higher in the smartphone addict participants (p < 0,05). Conclusions Smartphone addiction in university students is associated with postural changes and trigger points in the bilateral levator scapula and right cervical erector muscles. Public health programs should be developed to raise awareness about smartphone addiction, encourage screen breaks, and emphasize physical activity and exercise regularly. 2024-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12294/3761 Comparison of two different delivery methods of home-based exercise on neck pain Yaşarer, Özden; Yılmaz, Hürriyet Gürsel; Doğan, Halis AimThis study aimed to compare the effects of two different home-based exercise delivery methods on compliance, pain, and disability in participants with non-specific neck pain.Materials & methodsThe study, which was carried out at Istanbul Arel University between February and May 2018, was carried out with 60 participants from university staff, aged 25-60, suffering from non-specific neck pain. The cases were randomly assigned to two groups. A home exercise method with printed material exercise was given to the patients in Group 1, and a video phone reminder exercise was given to Group 2 for six weeks in both groups. Pain severity and neck disability were evaluated before and after the exercise with the 'Visual Analogue Scale' and the 'Neck Pain and Disability Score.'ResultsDescriptive statistics showed that the video phone reminder exercise group had greater compliance. Neck pain and neck disability assessments improved before and after the exercise in both groups (p < .001). Statistical analysis revealed that video phone reminder exercise scores were significantly higher than those of the control group. Effect sizes were evaluated between the two groups, and the difference between them were found to be clinically significant (d > 0.8).ConclusionsThe home exercise method with video and telephone reminders, which can be applied instead of the traditional method provided with printed materials, is more effective for compliance, pain severity, and neck disability. 2023-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12294/3651 Sağlık Alanlarında Eğitim Gören Öğrencilerin Skolyoz ile İlgili Bilgi Düzeyi Çolak, Tuğba Kuru; Aydın, Nimet Sermenli; Selçuk, Halit; Kılıç, Berivan Beril; Yaşarer, Özden; Sarı, Dilara Merve Giriş: Skolyoz, omurgada üç boyutlu deformiteye oluşturması nedeniyle fiziksel, psikolojik, sosyal ve kozmetik açıdan önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Bu araştırmanın amacı Türkiye’de sağlık alanında öğrenim gören lisans öğrencilerinin skolyoz hakkındaki temel bilgi düzeylerininin araştırılmasıdır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: 2018 – 2019 öğretim döneminde sağlık bilimleri alanında lisans ve ön lisans öğrencisi olan katılımcılardan araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan 17 sorudan oluşan sorgulama formunun online olarak doldurulması istendi. Veriler SPSS v.22.0 ile tanımlayıcı yöntemler kullanılarak analiz edildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya 60 farklı üniversitede öğrenim gören 611 öğrenci katıldı. Katılımcıların %83,6’sı (n=511) skolyozu ‘omurga eğriliği’ olarak tanımladı. Fizyoterapi lisans öğrencilerinin %87,7’si ve Tıp Fakültesi öğrencilerinin %82,2’si skolyoz teriminin tanımını bilmekteydi. Öğrencilerin %40’ı skolyozdan şüphesi olduğunda bireyleri hangi sağlık profesyoneline göndermesi gerektiğini biliyordu. Öğrencilerin bilgi düzeyi öğretim yıllarının artması ile artmaktaydı. Sonuç: Çalışmamızın sonucu 4. sınıf öğrencilerinin önemli bir kısmının skolyoz ile ilgili temel bilgi düzeyine sahip olmadan mezun olacağını göstermiştir. Erken tanı için toplumda skolyoz farkındalığının artması gerekmektedir, toplumsal farkındalığın artması da öncelikli olarak sağlık çalışanlarının farkındalığının ve bilgi düzeylerinin artması ile mümkün olabilir. 2020-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12294/3267 Comparison of the Effects of Cervical Thrust Manipulation and Exercise in Mechanical Neck Pain: A Randomized Controlled Trial Akgüller, Tuğba; Coşkun, Reşat; Analay Akbaba, Yıldız Objective: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of cervical thrust manipulation and exercise in patients with mechanical neck pain (MNP). Method: Sixty (mean age 31.45 ± 7.31 years) patients were randomized into three groups: manipulation (Group 1); exercise (Group 2); and manipulation plus exercise (Group 3). All interventions were performed 2 days a week for 6 weeks. The visual analog scale (VAS) and Neck Disability Index (NDI) were primary outcome measures; pressure pain threshold (PPT), range of motion (ROM), Short form-36 (SF-36), and Global Rating of Change (GROC) were secondary outcome measures. Results: All parameters improved in all groups (p < .05). Only the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for NDI was achieved in Group 3. Group 3 had greater improvement in: VAS-rest (p = .004); NDI (p < .001); PPT-left (p = .012); and vitality (p = .002), as well as higher GROC compared to the other groups (p = .043). Group 3 was superior to Group 2 in terms of: ROM (Lateral flexion [LF]-right, p = .003/left, p = .003, rotation-right, p = .012/left, p = .010), PPT-right (p = .022); and emotional well-being (p = .003). Group 1 was superior to Group 2 in terms of ROM (LF-left, p = .043/rotation-left, p = .049). The between-group effect sizes were large (0.12–0.36). Conclusion: The combined application of cervical thrust manipulation and exercise in MNP resulted in greater improvement in clinical parameters, especially function, and higher patient satisfaction in the short term compared to their application alone. Because of its positive effects, cervical thrust manipulation can be added to the exercise program according to the patient’s needs and suitability for manipulation. © 2023 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. 2023-01-01T00:00:00Z
