The Effects of Inspiratory Muscle Training on Respiratory Parameters, Trunk Control, Walking, and Functional Independence in Children With Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy (CP) is characterized by permanent or variable sensory-motor function impairments resulting from developmental anomalies or damage to the brain. Spasticity, dystonia, postural disorders, and weakened movement patterns can hinder the development of the respiratory system in children with CP. As the severity of postural disorders increases in children with CP, inadequate or improper use of respiratory muscles and insufficient ventilation reduce the mobility of the thoracic cage. The aim of study is to investigate the effects of respiratory muscle training on respiratory parameters, trunk control, walking, and functional independence in children with CP.

Comparison and Enhancement of Design Procedures for Guideline Expressions to Predict the Compressive Capacity of FRP-Wrapped Concrete Members

作者: Gedik, Onur

AbstractThe FRP wrapping of reinforced concrete columns is a simple way to increase the axial load capacity of such members with substandard concrete quality. A total of 2197 specimens were collected as a database to discuss the efficiency of predicting axial compressive strength of FRP-wrapped concrete columns according to several national and international guidelines. Various aspects of the database, including fiber type, unconfined strength and specimen geometry used to investigate the guidelines, and results are presented in terms of averages, standard deviations, and ratio of overestimated specimens. The performance of these expressions was compared with one another based on these statistical results and graphs, and those that captured the behavior best were identified for specific subsets. Recognizing the expressions’ inadequacy in capturing efficiency improvements related to radius to area and confinement ratios, some improvements in the form of coefficients for lateral confinement stress in the Turkish Building Earthquake Code were introduced, specifically for certain subsets.

Article

作者: Yarar, Hacı Ahmet ; Erduran, Mehmet ; Narin, Selnur ; Gurbanov, Iftikhar

PURPOSEThe aim of this study is to determine whether the 360° turn test is a reliable and valid evaluator that can be used to assess dynamic balance in patients with early (radiographic grades I and II) and advanced (radiographic grades III and IV) knee osteoarthritis.MATERIALS AND METHODSThis study is a methodological research. For the test time and step count of 360° turn test; test-retest reliability were determined by calculating the intraclass correlation coefficient and concurrent validity in patients with knee osteoarthritis was investigated by correlation with the timed up and go test time.RESULTSThe final analysis was made on 117 participants. The intraclass correlation coefficient values for the test time and step count of 360° turn test in patients with early knee osteoarthritis are 0.931 and 0.902, respectively, while they are 0.923 and 0.943 in patients with advanced knee osteoarthritis. The Pearson correlation coefficients between the time and step count of 360° turn test and the test time of the timed up and go test in patients with early knee osteoarthritis, respectively; while they are 0.547 and 0.388, the correlation in patients with advanced knee osteoarthritis are 0.697 and 0.700, respectively (p < 0.01).CONCLUSIONSThe 360° turn test is a evaluator that has excellent test-retest reliability and moderate to strong concurrent validity in patients with both early and advanced knee osteoarthritis and can be used in the assessment of dynamic balance in this population.

Evaluation of the Left Ventricular Myocardium Using Layer-Specific Strain Analysis in Adolescent Athletes Performing High-Intensity Interval Training

Article

作者: Babaoğlu, Kadir ; Çetin, Süha ; Demirci, Deniz ; Kösemen, Durmuş Samet

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) has been demonstrated to be an efficient way of improving physical performance in adolescent athletes compared to conventional training modalities. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of HIIT on the myocardial function of adolescent athletes, specifically focusing on left ventricular (LV) function, using conventional echocardiography and layer-specific strain (LSS) analysis. A total of 19 male adolescent athletes (with mean age of 16.83 ± 1.29 years) participating in various football clubs were recruited for this study. During the course of 8 weeks, these adolescent male athletes engaged in HIIT program centered around running. Upon completion of HIIT program, a treadmill exercise test was conducted. Subsequently, conventional and LSS echocardiography were conducted to acquire the evaluation of LV myocardial function. Interventricular septum thickness and ventricular mass index were significantly increased post high-intensity interval training (p < 0.005). After the HIIT, the treadmill exercise test demonstrated a significant increase in test duration and metabolic equivalent compared to the pre-training values (p < 0.005). Post high-intensity interval training, LSS analysis revealed significantly improved LV circumferential strain values in the basal and mid-segments of the left ventricle when compared to the pre-training measurements (p < 0.005). The implementation of high-intensity interval training led to an enhancement of circumferential LSS in the LV, indicating a favorable physiological adaptation and improved efficiency of the myocardium.
