This study aims to evaluate the early-term rehabilitation outcomes of a 63-year-old female patient who under went latissimus dorsi transfer following a massive rotator cuff tear. Rotator cufftearstypically occur in individuals over middle age due to degenerative causes, while in younger individuals and athletes, they can be a result of trauma. These tears can lead to symptoms such as pain, muscleweakness, and limitedrange of motion. While conservative treatments are generally effective, surgical intervention may be necessary in some cases. Latissimus dorsi tendon transfer is a surgical procedure used to restore active external rotation of the shoulder in massive tears. This method provides an alternative treatment option. This study presents the early-term rehabilitation outcomes of the patient.

Aims: The main aim of the study is to put forward correlation between functional movement screen, core endurance and Y balance test assessments in handball players. Methods: It is included to our study in between 18-22 years old 30 licensed handball player and 30 sedentary young individuals from the same age group. Kasari Physical Activity Form was used containing frequency, intensity, time information in order to determine physical activity level of the sedentary group. In all participants, the Illinois Agility Test was used for agility evaluation and the Vertical Jump Test was used for jumping force measurement and flexor endurance, extensor endurance and lateral bridge tests were used for core stabilization evaluation. Dynamic balance was evaluated Y balance test. Functional movement patterns were evaluated by functional movement screen consisting of 7 subcomponents. Results: As a result of the evaluations, In the individuals of athlete group, it is identified positive directional correlation between Functional Movement Screen composite score and flexor stability results (r=0.653 p<0.001) between, Functional Movement Screen composite score and Lateral bridge Dominant scores (r=0.542 p<0.01) between, FMS composite score and lateral bridge non-dominant scores (r=0.374 p<0.05) between, Functional Movement Screen composite score and Extensor endurance scores but when the relationship between Y balance test and Functional Movement Screen was analyzed; no statistically significant relationship was found (p>0.05). Conclusion: While functional movement screen assessments and core stabilization are closely related to each other, these assessments were not found to be associated with Y balance test. Functional movement screen reflects core stabilization but fails to assess dynamic balance.

Aims: The aim of this study is to determine the instant effect of kinesio taping applied to the rectus femoris muscle on pain and functional disability in patients with knee osteoarthritis Methods: Forty individuals diagnosed with osteoarthritis were included in the study and were divided into two groups as Kinesio tape (KT) and placebo groups. Kinesio taping was applied to both rectus femoris of the participants for 30 minutes with the facilitation technique in the intervention group and without tension in the placebo group. We assessed participants for pain and functional disability Western Ontario and McMaster Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC). Results: Demographic and clinical characteristics of the groups before these interventions were similar (p > 0.05). WOMAC pain, WOMAC function and WOMAC total score improved significantly for the KT group between pre-post taping results (p<0,05). There was no significant difference between the pre-post taping in WOMAC stiffness section (p>0,05). Conclusion: It was concluded that KT applied bilaterally to the rectus femoris did not affect stiffness in patients with knee OA, but instantly improved pain and functional disability.

Chondrosarcoma is the most frequently seen primary malignant tumour of the hand. It is seen most often in the proximal phalanges and metacarpals, and middle phalanx involvement is rarely seen. An 80-year-old female presented at our clinic with the complaints of pain and a massive mass in the middle phalanx. On the direct radiograph, there was seen to be an expansile, permeative mass, creating a destructive, periosteal reaction with total involvement of the middle phalanx. Amputation was performed at the level of the proximal phalanx. Curettage and grafting were not considered in this case as the lesion was causing destruction and expansion in the middle phalanx. This is one of the few cases in literature of a grade 2 (intermediate) chondrosarcoma in the middle phalanx. In this case presentation, the diagnosis and treatment of middle phalanx chondrosarcoma was explained in the light of current literature.

Aims: This study aims to compare the physical activity, internet addiction and healthy lifestyle behaviors of university students before and during the coronavirus pandemic. Methods: This study, which included university students, was carried out in two stages observational, cross-over, and before-after evaluation. After the physical and sociodemographic characteristics of 335 university students were recorded in the first stage before the pandemic (February-May 2019), The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), the Internet Addiction Scale (IAS) and Healthy Lifestyle Behavior Scale (HLBS) were applied in the study. The second part of the study consists of repeating questionnaires online with 205 students during the pandemic (June 2020). Results: It was determined that there was a decrease in the levels of vigorous (MD: 28.4; p<0.001) and moderate (MD: 47.7; p<0.001) physical activity of the participants, and an increase in the time they spent sitting (MD: -178.1; p<0.001), internet addiction (MD: 31.7; p<0.001), and HLBS total score (MD: -6.82; p<0.001). Conclusion: It was observed that the pandemic negatively affected physical activity, internet addiction, and healthy lifestyle behavior. It is essential to determine whether these effects continue after the pandemic and to take precautions accordingly.

Lateral ankle sprain (LAS), which is common in recreational and professional athletes, recurs and becomes chronic if left untreated. Since the number of mechanoreceptors it contains is high, LAS should not be considered only as a musculoskeletal disorder. A detailed clinical evaluation is recommended. Clinically, the patient presents with limitation of dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM), muscle atrophy and unequal strength between the muscles, deterioration in walking, running and jumping, and proprioceptive losses. The patient should be approached from a biopsychosocial perspective both in the evaluation and treatment phases. The treatment of the patient is carried out in 3 phases and the transition between phases should be based on mentioned criterias. In the acute phase of rehabilitation, emphasis should be placed on eliminating pain and edema, and preventing loss of ROM and muscle strength. In the subacute and chronic stages, emphasis should be placed on increasing the proprioceptive sense and muscle strength, improving the biomechanics of daily life and sports-specific movements such as walking, running, jumping. If the patient is an athlete, return to sports should be planned after the criterias met.

Bilateral capitellar fractures are very rare injuries. If the anatomy is not restored properly, limitation in elbow movements and permanent disability are inevitable. Fixation of the capittal fracture to allow early movement is important. In prolonged immobilization, limitation of movement is encountered. We present a case of a 52 years old women affected by a shear fracture of a capitellum after fall from chair. Open reduction and internal fixation were performed for both capitellum fractures. Early rehabilitation was initiated to prevent joint motion contracture. As a result of the long-term follow-up of the patient, no limitations were observed in the activities of daily living. We suggest early rehabilitation following open reduction and internal fixation in patients admitted to us with capitellum fracture.

Aims: Various methods are used in the evaluation of spasticity, which is common in Cerebral Palsy (CP). However, studies measuring upper extremity spasticity with Surface Electromyography (sEMG) were found to be insufficient in children with CP. In this study, the comparison of Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) and sEMG measurements for bilateral upper extremity spasticity in children with Hemiparetic CP was aimed. Methods: 33 (11.03 ± 3.82 years, 11F-2M) patients with hemiparetic CP and 32 healthy controls (10.31± 2.88 years, 16F-16M) with a similar mean age were included in the study. Results: Upper extremity spasticities of both sides of the cases were evaluated with MAS and SEMG. Affected side MAS results were found to be higher than the unaffected side (p<0.05). The mean sEMG value of the wrist flexors was lower on the affected side during voluntary contraction and higher during voluntary relaxation (p<0.05). In addition, the maximum percentage of voluntary contraction was measured higher on the affected side (p<0.05). Conclusion: Spasticity, as assessed by sEMG and MAS, was increased on the affected side. MAS and sEMG give consistent results. These results show us that the YEMG method can be used for spasticity measurements. It is considered that MAS would be a preferable method in evaluating spasticity owing to the fact that it is easy to use and it does not constitute extra costs.

Aims: Our aim was to compare the electrophysiological and psychometric properties of the effects of the dry needling technique, graston technique, and muscle energy technique in treating myofascial pain syndrome. Methods: The study included 21 patients diagnosed with myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) and an active trigger point in the upper trapezius muscle. The patients were randomly divided into three groups of 7 each. The first group received only exercise and dry needling technique (DNT), the second group received graston technique (GT), muscle energy technique (MET) and exercise, and the third group received only exercise. Evaluations were conducted before and after treatment. The trigger point detected with an algometer in the upper trapezius muscle was evaluated with needle electromyography (EMG). The study used the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) to determine its effects on psychological state. Results: The change in EMG variable over time was significant in each treatment group (p<0.05). The improvement in EMG change was more pronounced in the DNT group compared to the other groups. There was also a significant decrease in BDI scores before and after treatment (p<0.05). Pairwise comparison analysis revealed an improvement in the BDI scores of all groups, except the control (exercise) group, after treatment, when compared to pre-treatment. Conclusion: During the trigger point needle EMG examination of all subjects in the study, we detected spontaneous muscle activity (SMA) in addition to entry activity. After treatment, we observed improvement in SMA. These results suggest that the applied techniques are effective in treating trigger points.The effectiveness of the applied techniques can be evaluated in terms of creating alternatives.
