    Background To date, no study has investigated the effectiveness of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) techniques for patients with proximal humerus fractures (PHF). Objective To compare the effect of PNF, conventional physicaltherapy (CPT) on shoulder passive and active range of motion (ROM), function, muscle strength, pain, kinesiophobia, quality of life (QoL), and patient satisfaction in patients with PHF. Methods A total of 40 patients with PHF were randomly allocated into two groups of CPT and PNF. Both groups received treatment programs three times a week for 6 weeks. The primary measures were shoulder ROM, function, and muscle strength. The secondary measures were pain, kinesiophobia, QoL, and patient satisfaction. Results Forty patients analyzed at the end of the study. There were no statistically significant group-by-time interactions for function, pain, shoulder ROM (active and passive), or muscle strength (p > .05). However, there were statistically significant group-by-time interactions in role limitations due to physical health subscale of the 36-item Short Form Survey (SF-36) in CPT (p = .046, eta(2)(p) = 0.078). In addition, a significant difference was found in patient satisfaction at 3 weeks in CPT (p = .021) but no difference at 6 weeks between groups (p > .05). Conclusion The PNF techniques demonstrated similar outcomes to the CPT in reducing pain, improving function and shoulder ROM, and enhancing quality of life in patients with PHF in short time. According to our findings, PNF techniques are as effective as CPT and can be proposed as a potential adjunctive treatment for patients with PHF. Clinicaltrialnumber NCT05960435

    The Effects of Pelvic Floor Muscle Training Applied Via Telerehabilitation During the Postpartum Period: a Randomized Controlled Study
    (Mary Ann Liebert, inc, 2025) Razak Ozdincler, Arzu; Korkmaz Dayican, Damla; Ozyurek, Burcin
    Purpose: To examine the short- and medium-term effects of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) applied via telerehabilitation (TR) on pelvic floor muscle function, pelvic floor symptoms, and quality of life. Methods: Fifty-eight women between the ages of 18 and 35 who were between 6 and 8 weeks postpartum were included. The participants were randomized into the PFMT applied via TR (TR-PFMT) group or the supervised PFMT (S-PFMT) group. The PFMT was performed for 8 weeks, 2 days a week, and 45-50 min a day. The participants' pelvic floor muscle function, pelvic floor symptoms, and quality of life were evaluated with the superficial electromyography, the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 (PFDI-20), and the Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire-7, respectively. Results: Phasic, tonic, and endurance activities of the pelvic floor muscles were significantly higher in both groups immediately after and 8 weeks after the exercise program (all p < 0.05). In addition, total PFDI-20 and all subscales' scores decreased significantly in the TR-PFMT group (all p < 0.05). In the S-PFMT group, total PFDI-20 (p = 0.012) and Urinary Distress Inventory-6 (p = 0.012) scores improved significantly. A significant difference was found between the groups in favor of the TR-PFMT group in terms of total PFDI-20 (p = 0.024; p = 0.024) and Urinary Distress Inventory-6 (p = 0.033; p = 0.040) scores immediately after and 8 weeks after the exercise program. Conclusions: TR-PFMT and S-PFMT improved women's pelvic floor muscle function, pelvic floor symptoms, and quality of life in the short and medium term. Improvement in urinary symptoms was greater after TR-PFMT. TR-PFMT should be considered for postpartum women.
