As a natural process of aging, loss of balance may occur, as well as many abilities of individuals. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between posture, fall risk, balance, strength and functional parameters in healthy adults with exercise habits. Individuals over the age of 55 who came to the 1200 Asmalı Evler Healthy Aging Center in Denizli were included in our study. Quadriceps, hamstring and hand grip strength of the participants were measured with a dynamometer. Their balance was evaluated with the functional reach test, their posture with the New York Posture Analysis questionnaire, their fear of falling with the fall effectiveness scale (FES-1), their functionality with the 30 sec sit-stand test, and their flexibility with the sit-reach test. 47 individuals with a mean age of 68.62±0.90 years who regularly exercise participated in our study. According to the correlation analysis, hamstring strength (right) and hand grip strength (right) (r=0.593, p=0.001), hamstring strength (right) and hand grip strength (left) (r=0.657, p=0.001), hamstring strength ( left) and hand grip strength (right) (r=0.584, p=0.001), hamstring strength (left) and hand grip strength (left) (r=0.647, p=0.001), moderate and high level of significant positive correlation; Quadriceps strength (right) versus hand grip strength (right) (r=0.332, p=0.026), quadriceps strength (right) versus hand grip strength (left) (r=0.541, p=0.001), quadriceps strength (left) hand grip strength (right) (r=0.416, p=0.004), quadriceps strength (left) and hand grip strength (left) (r=0.544, p=0.001), hand grip strength (left) and functional reach (r= 0.339, p=0.023, a significant positive, weak and moderate correlation was found.

This study aimed to compare the effects of kinesiological taping and traditional treatment modalities on pain, functionality, and disability in SIS patients. \u0000Materials and Methods: The study was completed with 54 patients aged 18-60 years. By randomization, the participants were divided into two groups: the Intervention Group (IG) and the Control Group (CG). While the conventional physiotherapy program (CPP) was performed for ten sessions, kinesiological taping was repeated every three days for the IG. The CG was taken to only ten sessions of CPP. The CPP protocol was applied for 60x5x2 minutes/day/week. Pain severity, function, and disability were assessed before and after the treatment. \u0000Results: There was no difference between the groups in pain severity (p=0.074), function (p=0.565), and disability (p=0.315) scores. On the other hand, there were significant improvements in pain (p=0.001), function (p=0.001), and disability (p=0.005) scores of IG according to intra-group analysis. Similar results were obtained in the CG. However, when the effect sizes of these treatment methods were examined, they did not create a clinically significant superiority compared to each other. \u0000Conclusion: In recent years, kinesiological taping has been widely used in patients with orthopedic problems. According to our results, kinesiological taping, performed in early period of physiotherapy program, did not have a clinical effect in reducing pain and improving functional status and disability when applied in addition to conventional treatment compared to conventional techniques alone. In patients with SIS, kinesiological taping alone may not be sufficient as an alternative treatment to traditional methods in the early term. However, we think the effects of different treatment combinations should be evaluated.","PeriodicalId":286035,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Disabilities Sports & Health Sciences","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115526366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: Relational model was used in the research. The research was conducted with the parents of 180 children diagnosed with ASD who were educated in a special education and rehabilitation centre. Data were obtained using the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), and the Coping Attitudes Rating Scale (COPE). T Test, One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Pearson correlation analysis were used in the analysis of the data. Results: In the research findings, it was observed that the burnout level of the parents differed according to the age groups of the autistic children, the number of siblings and the psychiatric disease history of the parents. In addition, it was observed that the anxiety level and coping methods of the parents differed significantly according to the psychiatric illness history of the parents. A strong positive correlation was found between parents' anxiety and burnout levels. A moderately positive relationship was also found between the emotional burnout levels of the parents and their coping levels. Conclusion: It was observed that the level of anxiety and burnout were lower in parents who used the problem-focused coping method. It was observed that the parents who participated in the study overcame the problems by using problem-focused coping methods and this situation had a positive effect on their lives. In addition, it was observed that parents with high levels of anxiety and burnout used dysfunctional coping methods more.","PeriodicalId":286035,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Disabilities Sports & Health Sciences","volume":"115 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124582550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the partial success of standard treatment methods for ASD, there has been an increase in recent years that physical activity can have positive effects on children with autism. According to the studies examined, it is stated that physical activity reduces the maladaptive behavior patterns of people with ASD as well as physical development. In the studies reviewed in the literature, it has been determined that participation in physical activity in children with autism reduces stereotypic behaviors.
