Materials and Method: We included 145 patients (age, 55.9±8 years) diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the knee in this study. Kinesiophobia, pain intensity, quadriceps muscle strength, disability and quality of life were evaluated using Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia, visual analogue scale, hand-held dynamometer, Lysholm scale and short form-36, respectively. Results: There was a significant relationship between pain at rest (p= .028), pain during activity (p=.015), disability (p=.019), vitality (p=.03) and social function (p=.036) of short form-36 and quadriceps muscle strength in females. No significant relationship was found between the test variables and quadriceps muscle strength (p> .05) in males. There was a significant relationship between pain during activity (p=.021), quadriceps muscle strength (...

Materials and methods A total of 40 patients with LE were included in the present study. The patients were randomly assigned to 3 treatment groups: US (n = 13), ESWT (n = 14), and KT (n = 13) groups. Results The visual analog scale (VAS) scores significantly decreased in all groups (P < 0.05). Grip strength significantly increased after 8 weeks in only the KT group (P < 0.05). The Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation Scale (PRTEE) scores significantly decreased after 2 weeks and after 8 weeks in the US group and ESWT groups, and after 8 weeks in the KT group (P < 0.05). Common extensor tendon (CET) thicknesses significantly decreased after 8 weeks in only the ESWT group (P < 0.05). Conclusion The US therapy, KT, and ESWT are effective in reducing pain ...

Bu calismaya 18-22 yaslari arasinda 22 saglikli erkek katildi. Tum katilimcilar elastik bantlar ile 10 set 10 tekrar el bilegi fleksiyon egzersizleri yaptilar. Katilimcilar rastgele nane yagi ve vazelin masaji olarak iki mudahale grubuna ayrildi. Katilimcilarin bir koluna egzersiz sonrasi 10 dakika klasik masaj yapildi ve diger kola masaj yapilmadi. Kas agrisi basinc algometresi kullanilarak degerlendirildi. Kavrama kuvveti JAMAR dinamometresi ile olculdu. Hem nane yagi hem de vazelin masaj kolunda egzersiz oncesi 24 saat ve 48 saate kadar kas agrisi acisindan anlamli fark bulunmadi (p> .05). Kas agrisi icin nane yagi masaji kontrol kolunda egzersiz oncesinden egzersiz sonrasi 24 saat (p = 0.031) ve 48 saate (p = 0.023) anlamli farkliliklar vardi. Ayrica, vazelin kontrol kolunda, egzersiz oncesinden egzersiz sonrasi 24 saate (p = 0.016) anlamli bir fark vardi. He...
