Methods: Sixty-five presented our clinic February 2018 April 2019 were randomly divided into 2 groups: 33 bandages (group 1) 32 immobilization 2). All scheduled for follow-up appointments at after 2, 4, 8, 12, 24 weeks. Visual...

In this study, we explained the effects of compression garment and electrostimulation on athletes' recovery period by evaluating blood lactate isokinetic peak torque parameters. Twenty volunteers (15.55± 0.51 yr) were included to study. At period, samples was taken for values at 0th, 3rd, 5th, 15th, 30th min. The strength test performed right ankle 15th min left same protocol 2 weeks third results compared. There wasn't any significant difference levels within groups. women; there not...

This study aims to evaluate patients with conservatively treated stable lateral malleolar fractures isokinetic tests.Between January 2016 and November 2017, a total of 24 (12 males, 12 females; mean age 40.8±15.0 years; range, 18 68 years) an isolated fracture the circular cast were included in this prospective study. Calf circumferences, ankle range motion (ROM), pain levels, functional outcomes recorded. The muscle strengths endurance injured side compared non-injured side. All evaluated...

Purpose: Maladaptive neuroplasticity may develop after injury. However, most of the test applications in return to sport process mainly focus on motor end sensorimotor system. In this study, we aimed examine performance outputs functional hop tests with dual task methodology.
 Methods: Triple for distance (THD), crossover (CHD) and 6-meter timed (6MHT) were done. For cognitive backward digit span Wechsler intelligence scale was preferred. Nineteen athletes a history unilateral lower...

Abstract The aim of our study is to evaluate preserving gracilis tendon in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) surgery and its effect the flexion knee joint tibial internal rotation strength stability knee. Patients who underwent primary single-bundle arthroscopic ACLR using all-inside technique hamstring autograft were evaluated retrospectively. divided into two groups as preserved (St) harvested (StG) groups.

This study was designed to investigate the effects of kinesio tape (KT) on functional performance female basketball players with and without chronic ankle instability (CAI).The (n = 15) 16) were enrolled.KT applied tension in group control group.Before KT application, 30 minutes 48 hours after application; muscle strength endurance tested plantar flexion dorsiflexion, joint position sense measured dorsiflexion using a dynamometer.Dynamic postural stability evaluated balance system between...

This study aimed to investigate whether isokinetic strength decrease significantly after using volar plating for distal radius fractures and evaluate the pronator quadratus muscle regarding atrophy.This took place between 2011 2015 included 18 fracture patients (group 1) who were treated via at least one year prior 14 healthy controls 2). All participants tested isokinetically. Grip strength, radiological evaluation, wrist range of motion, disabilities arm, shoulder, hand visual analog scale...

<h3>Background</h3> Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a chronic disease characterized by diffuse pain, fatigue, sleep disturbance, cognitive impairment, and other physical symptoms that adversely affect sensory functions impair quality of life. Nowadays, in the treatment FMS, low intensity aerobic exercises exercise programs combined with methods are recommended. <h3>Objectives</h3> The aim this study was to evaluate effects balance-proprioception on superiority two models. <h3>Methods</h3> 51...

<h3>Aim</h3> Myofascial release is a manual therapeutic method aiming to relax the muscles and their surrounding fascia. The originally involves therapist, moving fascia against its surroundings primarily with tangential forces applied by hands. More recently, self-applied of has been proposed where an individual uses semi-rigid round materials in order achieve effect. Many studies have shown acute effects on range-of-movement particular functional performance tests along muscle strength...
