    The role of diaphragmatic breathing exercise on urinary incontinence treatment: A pilot study
    (2022) Toprak, Nevin; Sen, Selva; Varhan, Berrak
    Objective: The main aim of this pilot study was to examine the effect of diaphragmatic breathing exercise on urinary incontinence treatment. The secondary purpose was to compare the effect of pelvic floor muscle exercises and diaphragmatic breathing exercises on urinary incontinence women. Design: Participants were randomized into two groups: pelvic floor muscle exercises (Group PFM n = 20) and diaphragmatic breathing exercises (Group DB n = 20). Exercise programs consisted of 1 set of contractions per day and each set included 30 repetitions for 6 weeks. Women were asked to complete forms of Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7) and the Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6), Incontinence Quality of Life (I-QOL), and Overactive Bladder (OAB-V3) before starting the program and again at the end of the 6-week program. Results: IIQ-7, I-QOL, and OAB-V3 scores significantly improved in both groups, after exercises. There were no difference between groups in the post-exercise scores. Total score of the UDI-6 was statistically significantly decreased higher in the DB exercises group. UDI-6 Urge Symptoms decreased statistically significantly only in the DB exercises group. Even though there was a decrease in the PFM group, but it was not significant.

    The relationships between wrist joint position sense, anthropometric characteristics and grip strength of the hand in healthy individuals
    (Galenos publishing house, 2024) Abalay, Arzu; Cemel, Yakup; Varhan, Berrak; Yavuzer, Melek Güneş
    Objective: The hand is an extremely unique structure with its own characteristics that should be better understood. To determine the relationship between joint position sense (JPS), hand anthropometrics, and grip strength (GS) in healthy individuals. Methods: Both hands of 50 healthy adults were evaluated. The anthropometric characteristics (AC) were determined using small paper insertion tape. Hand and finger strength were measured using hand dynamometry and a pinchometer, respectively. The wrist JPS was evaluated for wrist flexion, extension, and deviations via a position error test using a goniometer. Results: AC and GS were positively correlated with both the dominant and non-dominant sides in all parameters (p<0.05). There was a significant positive relationship between palmar GS and wrist flexion JPS error on the dominant side (p=0.039, r=0.292) and on the non-dominant side (p=0.033, r=-0.303). There was no significant relationship between JPS and the AC of any other GS parameters (p>0.05). Conclusion: The use of anthropometric data in calculating GS, as well as other complimentary data, can be utilized to determine the type and diversity of exercise for physiotherapy and rehabilitation program organization. The results showed a weak correlation between wrist JPS, AC, and GS. In conclusion, our study showed that AC can be used as an indicator of GS, but GS alone is insufficient to indicate joint position.
