Article Citation - WoS: 6Effectiveness of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation and Myofascial Release Techniques in Patients With Subacromial Impingement Syndrome(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022) Celik, Merve Sinem; Sonmezer, Emel; Acar, ManolyaPurpose To compare the effectiveness of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation and myofascial release technique in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome on pain, range of motion, muscle strength, quality of life, functionality and disability. Methods Thirty patients were randomly divided into two groups: proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation group (n = 15) and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation combined with myofascial release technique group (n = 15). Both treatment methods were performed 3 times a week for 4 weeks. Pain severity was assessed by Visuel Analog Scale, range of motion by a goniometer, muscle strength by digital hand dynamometer, quality of life by Nottingham health profile, functionality by arm, shoulder and hand problems questionnaire, disability by shoulder pain and disability index. All measurements were used before and after treatments. Pain severity, range of motion and muscle strength were also evaluated after the first session. Results After the treatment, shoulder pain, range of motion, muscle strength, functionality and disability were improved in two groups (p < 0.05). Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation showed improvement in pain, whereas myofascial release technique improved pain, physical activity, emotional state, sleep and total dimensions of life quality (p < 0.05). Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation was more effective in reducing activity pain, whereas myofascial release technique was more effective in increasing flexion, external and internal rotation range of motion, flexion and abduction muscle strength after the first session (p < 0.05). Conclusions The combined application of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation and myofascial release technique has a more acute and cumulative positive effect on pain, range of motion, muscle strength, functionality, disability and quality of life in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Factors Associated With Kinesiophobia in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis(Georg Thieme Verlag, 2022) Acar,M.; Sönmezer,E.; Yosmaoǧlu,H.B.Purpose This study aims to determine factors affecting kinesiophobia in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Materials and Methods The fear of movement was measured using the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia in 60 patients with knee OA. Pain intensity was assessed with the Visual Analog Scale, quality of life with the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP), disability with the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), anxiety and depression with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), balance with the Berg Balance Scale, mobility with the Timed Up and Go Test, and the physical activity status was measured with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Results Physical mobility and emotional reactions subscales of NHP, all WOMAC subscales and the HADS depression subscale were significantly related to kinesiophobia. Muscle strength, ROM, level of physical activity, balance, mobility and anxiety were not significantly related to kinesiophobia. Quality of life and disability explained 34.4% of the variation in the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia. Conclusions Kinesiophobia was associated with quality of life, disability and depression. It may be useful for clinicians to pay attention to the evaluation of psychosocial characteristics instead of physical performance parameters in order to increase treatment success in OA patients. © 2022 GeorgThieme. All right reserved.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 1Connective Tissue Manipulation(Springer International Publishing, 2022) Sönmezer,E.; Dökmeci,F.; Seval,M.M.; Çetinkaya,Ş.E.Connective tissue massage is based on the principle of direct manipulation of the subcutaneous fascia layers creating a response in the autonomic nervous system. There is a neural link between deep tissues and superficial tissues known as “cutaneo-visceral reflexes, " involving autonomic pathways and rich somatic sensory plexuses in the skin and subcutaneous tissues. It has been shown that there is tension in the skin and subcutaneous tissues innervated from the same level of the medulla spinalis with the organ with impaired function. These affected dermatomes are stimulated with a strong pulling motion made in a special sequence in accordance with anatomical structure. Thus, a reflex effect is created in the relevant organ innervated from the same segment as the dermatome. The most important feature that distinguishes CTM from other manual treatment methods is that it has a therapeutic effect by playing a balancing role in the autonomic nervous system. Although its efficacy in pathological problems, such as migraine, constipation, dysmenorrhea, peripheral artery disease, and painful conditions such as fibromyalgia and chronic neck pain, have been demonstrated in different studies in the literature, there have been no studies showing the effectiveness of CTM in patients with OAB. © MIPS MediterraneanIncontinence Pelvic Floor Society 2022.Book Part Physiotherapy in Women for Pelvic Floor and Sexual Dysfunction(Springer International Publishing, 2022) Sönmezer,E.; Seval,M.M.; Çetinkaya,Ş.E.; Dökmeci,F.Physiotherapy provides the restoration of physical function and an increase in quality of life. It also allows daily life activities to be performed painlessly and independently. The aim of physiotherapy is to restore the patient’s functional efficiency as quickly as possible by improving movement functions. Physiotherapy methods are used to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles in the treatment of women with pelvic floor and sexual dysfunction. Pelvic floor physiotherapy is an evidence-based, first-line treatment for many pelvic floor problems, including incontinence, pelvic pain, pelvic organ prolapse, and sexual dysfunction. Studies have shown that pelvic floor physiotherapy programs can not only alleviate pelvic floor dysfunctions but also improve sexual function. However, other physiotherapy methods used to improve general health also increase well-being and quality of life, thus improving function reducing disability and sexual dysfunction. © MIPS MediterraneanIncontinence Pelvic Floor Society 2022.
