Publication Open Access The Relationship between Range of Motion and Function of Upper Extremity in Obstetric Brachial Plexus Palsy Patients Treated with Tendon Transfer(2017-12-01) Aydın, Atakan; HOŞBAY, ZEYNEP; TANRIVERDİ, MÜBERRA; Tarakçı, Ela; Razak ÖZDİNÇLER, Arzu; HOŞBAY, ZEYNEP; TANRIVERDİ, MÜBERRAObstetric brachial plexus palsy (OBPP) refers to upper limb paralysis secondary to a sustained traction or compression injury to the brachial plexus during birth. The reported incidence in developed countries is 2 per 1000 live births. The assessment and planning of appropriate treatment is important in the early stages of OBPP. The aim of our study was to examine the relationship between the range of motion and upper extremity function of the shoulder in patients with OBPP who were treated by tendon transfer. This study included 48 patients who had shoulder tendon transfer at least 6 months ago in Istanbul Medical Faculty, Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Department of Surgery of the Hand. Range of motion measurements were performed using a universal goniometer and the modified mallet classification was used to categorize global shoulder function. Pediatric evaluation of disability inventory (PEDI) and Canadian occupational performance measure (COPM) were used to evaluate functional ability, activity and participation. When examining relationships between range of motion and functional scores, there was a statistically significant relationship between COPMP score and external rotation, and no relationship was found between other motion functional scores. The study demonstrated that, the use of the pattern of development and motivation of patients to participate is also important among range of motion and muscle strength for upper extremity function.Publication Open Access InterObserver Reliability of Brachial Plexus Outcome Measure in Children with Brachial Plexus Palsy.(2019-04-01T00:00:00Z) HOŞBAY, ZEYNEP; ÖZKAN, SAFİYE; TANRIVERDİ, MÜBERRA; AYDIN, ATAKAN; TANRIVERDİ, MÜBERRAStudy design: Clinical measurement and cross-sectional study. Introduction: Numerous scales have been developed to examine activities of daily living and function in children with brachial plexus palsy. The Brachial Plexus Outcome Measure (BPOM) scale was developed in 2012 by Emily S. Ho and contains 14 items that measure activity and self-evaluation. Purpose of the study: The aim of the study was to cross-culturally translate the BPOM scale into Turkish and test its measurement properties in children with brachial plexus palsy. Methods: The scale was translated into Turkish using standard cross-cultural translation procedures. Forty-eight children with obstetric brachial plexus palsy (OBPP) were included in psychometric evaluations. Internal structure consistency and test-retest reliability were measured for reliability analyses. For each item on the scale, Cronbach alpha coefficient and item-total score correlations for all subscales were calculated. The scale was administered at baseline and 1 week later by 2 different physiotherapists to evaluate test-retest reliability. Concurrent construct validity was assessed using Pearson correlations between the OBPP and the Mallet classification system. Results: Eighteen (37.5%) girls and 30 (62%) boys, in total 48 children, whose mean age was 8.7 ± 2.4 (minimum-maximum = 5-14) years were included in the study; 9 (18.9%) have a history of both early microsurgery and tendon transfers and 39 (81.3%) have a history of only tendon transfer. Cronbach alpha ranged from 0.89 to 0.96, and for the whole scale, it was calculated as 0.938. Discussion: Test-retest reliability was high. Moderate correlations were observed between the measures. Conclusion: The Turkish BPOM scale is a valid and reliable measurement for assessing function in children with OBPP in the Turkish population.Publication Open Access Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation in Congenital Facial Paralysis(2019-10-01T00:00:00Z) TANRIVERDİ, MÜBERRA; Aktas, Busra; Ustun, Arife Ceylan; Cakirca, Merve; Yener, Busra; TANRIVERDİ, MÜBERRACongenital facial paralysis (CFP) is a paralysis of facial nerve that occurs in birth or shortly after birth due to congenital or traumatic causes, has a prevalence of 1.2-2.4/1000. Our aim is to determine the effectiveness of physiotherapy and rehabilitation in CFP. We assessed a 9-year-old girl, who had no congenital injuries, with muscle test, House Brackmann Facial Grading Systems (HBFGS) and Sunnybrook Facial Grading Systems (SFGS). She got level 4 in HBFGS scale; and 20 points for resting symmetry, 72 points for voluntary movement symmetry and 4 points for synkinesis in SFGS scale. The patient received our treatment including face massage, electrotherapy, mimic muscle and functional exercises lasting one hour per session, 3 days a week for 24 weeks. Biopsychosocial positive feedback was obtained after the ongoing treatment program, although there were no numerical changes in assessment scales. Although reported cases in the literature are irreversible, studies on rehabilitation are needed.Publication Open Access Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Bachelor-s Degree Education in Turkey: Comparative Analysis of Curriculum between Foundation and State Universities(2015-12-01T00:00:00Z) Alemdaroğlu, İpek; GÜRSES, HÜLYA NİLGÜN; TANRIVERDİ, MÜBERRA; GÜRSES, HÜLYA NILGÜN; TANRIVERDİ, MÜBERRAObjective: The purpose of our study was to analyze and reveal the similarities and differences between the curriculums of the physical therapy and rehabilitation (PTR) faculty departments/colleges (FD/C) in foundation and state universities in Turkey. Methods: The student quotas and curriculums of PTR FD/Cs in foundation (Group 1) and state (Group 2) universities were reached. The number of FD/Cs and their student quotas were calculated. Curriculum parameters were investigated from the FD/Cs official websites and compared between groups. Results: 64 universities were found to get permission to give PTR education, and 46 of these obtained student quotas in the 2014-2015 academic year. Curriculums of 41 out of 46 FD/Cs (89.1%) were reached from their websites. The only statistically significant difference was found in student quotas (z=-3.422; p< 0.01), whereas no differences were found in other curriculum parameters between the groups (p> 0.05). Conclusion: As a conclusion, the curriculums of the FD/C in foundation and state universities in Turkey were determined to show compliance with each other and with other countries.Publication Open Access Efficacy of a virtual reality-based intervention in children with medulloblastoma: case series(2022-08-01T00:00:00Z) Tanrıverdi, Müberra; Çakır, Fatma Betül; Karantay Mutluay, Fatma; TANRIVERDİ, MÜBERRA; ÇAKIR, FATMA BETÜLMedulloblastoma accounts for 20% of all paediatric brain tumours as the second most frequent type. It arises from the embryonic neuroectodermal cells of the cerebellum, and itis characterized by decreased speech, mutism, cerebellar dysfunctions, and apathy.1 Children with medulloblastoma can experience a broad range of functional problems dueto the effects of the primary tumour and complications of treatment. There is a dearth of evidence on balance rehabilitation in children with medulloblastoma. Ospina et al.found no trials comparing the effects of physical therapy interventions focused on symptom relief and compensation of adverse effects of treatment in children and adolescentswith cancer. Thus, there are no standardised rehabilitation exercise programmes for children with brain tumours.2 At present, approaches to rehabilitation are frequentlyattempted in children with brain tumours. The assessment of physical activity and performance in functional skills and activities daily living of children is useful in clinicalpractice. The correct implementation of rehabilitation therapy requires accurate and reliable evaluation. This paper focuses on the effect of the Nintendo Wii Fit Plus® (NWFP),which we have and use in our clinic as an intervention to improve balance in children with medulloblastoma.
