Publication Open Access Splinting is effective for night-only symptomatic carpal tunnel syndrome patients(2015-04-01) HALAC, Gulistan; DEMIR, Saliha; Yucel, HÜLYA; NIFTALIYEV, Elvin; KOCAMAN, Gulsen; DURUYEN, Humeyra; KENDIRLI, Tansel; Asil, TALİP; YÜCEL, HÜLYA; ASİL, TALIP[Purpose] Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common entrapment neuropathy of the median nerve. Splinting is one of the most used conservative treatment methods for carpal tunnel syndrome. The aim of this study was to show the effectiveness of splinting in carpal tunnel syndrome patients who were divided into two groups according to their level of symptoms. [Subjects and Methods] A total of 40 carpal tunnel syndrome patients were divided into 2 groups based on having symptoms only at night or during the day were included in this study. These two groups were compared at the end of a 3-months splinting therapy in terms of improvement of severity of symptoms, functional capacity, pain level, and electrophysiological findings. [Results] Pain levels of both groups were similar at baseline. After splinting, pain levels of night-only symptomatic patients were lower than those of sustained symptomatic ones. No differences were found in symptom severity, functional capacity, and the electrophysiological findings in either group after the splinting. [Conclusion] The results of this study show that splinting alone may be sufficient to decrease the pain for night-only symptomatic patients. Combined therapy methods may be needed for sustained symptomatic patientsPublication Metadata only Pilates-Based Mat Exercises and Parameters of Quality of Life in Women With Type 2 Diabetes(2018-12-01) Yucel, Hulya; UYSAL, ÖMER; YÜCEL, HÜLYA; UYSAL, ÖMERBackground: Physical exercises increase quality of life (QoL) in diabetics. However, the optimal exercise type for patients with diabetes has not yet been established. It is unknown whether pilates is a suitable form of exercise for the QoL of patients with diabetes.Publication Metadata only Multi-Purpose Activities in Ergotherapy(2012-01-01T00:00:00Z) YÜCEL, HÜLYA; YÜCEL, HÜLYAPublication Metadata only Levels of empathy among undergraduate physiotherapy students: A cross-sectional study at two universities in Istanbul(2016-01-01T00:00:00Z) YÜCEL, HÜLYA; ACAR, GÖNÜL; YÜCEL, HÜLYAObjective: The aim of this study is to determine differences of levels of empathy among undergraduates in each year of their four-year programs of physiotherapy.Publication Metadata only Choosing the most efficacious scoring method for carpal tunnel syndrome(2015-01-01T00:00:00Z) Yucel, Hulya; Seyithanoglu, Hakan; YÜCEL, HÜLYA; SEYİTHANOĞLU, MEHMET HAKANObjective: The aim of this study was to determine the most efficacious hand-specific questionnaire to determine functionality in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome.Publication Metadata only Factors affecting symptoms and functionality of patients with carpal tunnel syndrome: a retrospective study(2015-04-01T00:00:00Z) Yucel, Hulya; YÜCEL, HÜLYA[Purpose] The aim of this retrospective study was to determine the associations between clinical, physical, and neurophysiological outcomes and self-reported symptoms and functions of patients after surgical carpal tunnel release. [Subjects and Methods] Among 261 patients who had undergone open surgical carpal tunnel release within the last three years, 83 (mean age 50.27 +/- 11.13 years) participated in this study. Their socio-demographics and comorbidities were recorded. The intensity of pain, paresthesia, and fatigue symptoms in the hand were assessed by means of a Visual Analogue Scale, the Semmes-Weinstein Monofilaments test of light touch pressure sensation, and Jamar dynamometry for measurement of grip and pinch strengths. The Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire evaluated the severity of symptoms and hand functional status, and the variables were analyzed by multivariate linear regression. [Results] The severity of the symptoms and functional status of release surgery patients was associated with diabetes mellitus, migraine, night pain, paresthesia and fatigue symptoms, impaired light touch pressure, and lack of medical treatment. [Conclusion] Appropriate post-surgery treatment programs for these factors should be taken into consideration to help patients obtain optimal functionality and health in their daily lives.Publication Open Access Incidence and Risk Factors of Low Back Pain in Students Studying at a Health University(2016-04-01T00:00:00Z) YÜCEL, HÜLYA; TORUN, PERİHAN; YÜCEL, HÜLYA; TORUN, PERİHANObjective: The aim of this study was to determine the incidence, severity, and risk factors of low back pain in students studying at a health university. Methods: The study was conducted on students of dentistry, pharmacy, health sciences, and medicine faculties of Bezmialem Vakif University. The data were gathered using a 35-question survey. Five hundred and twenty students completed the questionnaire. Four hundred and seventy-one (90.57%) of them answered pain-specific questions. Visual analogue scale was used to assess pain intensity. The presence of low back pain and pain severity were determined as two dependent variables. p<0.05 was considered as significant. Results: Of the participants, 131 (25.19%) were male and 389 (74.80%) were female. Differences of low back pain incidence were significant between the students of medicine faculty and other faculties (p=0.004), between those who had weight exchange and nonweight exchange (p=0.023), and between those who were not pleased with the desk and those who were pleased (p=0.000). Pain intensity in female students (p=0.003); those with hereditary disease in the spine (p=0.022), and those with economical, familial, or school-related anxiety (p=0.001) were higher than in others. Conclusion: This study confirmed whether the risk factors indicated in literature were valid in the study university. Courses, which are devoted to risk factors, may be added to education programs to prevent problems related to low back that may occur because of attending classes.
