Article Content and Quality Analysis of YouTube Videos on Therapeutic Exercises for Parkinson’s Disease(SAGE Publications Inc, 2026) Tosun, Anıl; Reyhanioglu, Duygu AktarBackground Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most common movement disorder, and patients increasingly use YouTube to obtain health-related information. Objective This study aimed to assess the content quality and informational reliability of YouTube videos on PD exercises. Methods A total of 150 English-language YouTube videos were screened using the search terms Parkinson exercises, Parkinson physiotherapy exercises, and Parkinson home exercise program. For each video, the source, upload date, number of views, likes, dislikes, and comments were recorded. The Video Power Index (VPI) was assessed using the view ratio (views/day) and like ratio (likes & times; 100 / [likes + dislikes]). The clinical quality, reliability, and educational value of PD-specific exercise videos were assessed using the Global Quality Scale (GQS), modified DISCERN (mDISCERN), and guideline-based criteria derived from the European Physiotherapy Guideline for Parkinson's Disease (PD-GEC).Results A total of 29 videos met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. Videos explaining how and why exercises were performed demonstrated higher mDiscern and GQS scores, while providing repetition, duration, and intensity information was associated with higher GQS scores but not mDiscern (p = 0.080); no differences were observed for disease specificity, functional linkage, or safety warnings (all p > 0.05). PD-GEC scores were not significantly related to video engagement metrics. Conclusion Higher-quality videos tended to provide clear explanations of exercise rationale and dosage, while guideline-based clinical features, including PD-GEC criteria, were not associated with viewer engagement.Article Citation - WoS: 2Effects of Computer-Based Balance Exercises on Balance, Pain, Clinical Presentation and Nerve Function in Patients With Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy: a Randomized Controlled Study(Jmni, 2023) Reyhanioglu, Duygu Aktar; Yildirim, Gaye; Sengun, Ihsan Sukru; Kara, BilgeObjective:To evaluate the use of a computer-based biodex balance exercise system (BBS) on balance, neuropathic pain, clinical presentation and nerve function in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). Methods: A total of 32 participants with DPN were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to an intervention group (IG) or control group (CG). The IG performed exercises using the BBS twice weekly for 8 weeks, while CG were informed regarding diabetes self-management. At baseline and after study completion, participants underwent balance (postural stability and fall risk) and neuropathic pain assessment (DN4 questionnaire) and were screened using the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument and nerve conduction test. Results: Among the baseline participants, 14 in the IG and 13 in the CG completed the study. Balance training improved postural stability (overall, p<0.001), fall risk (p<0.001), neuropathic pain (p=0.01) and symptoms (p<0.001), and clinical presentation (p=0.02), but not nerve function, within the IG. At follow-up, IG displayed significantly improved stability (p<0.001) and fall risk (p=0.02) and decreased neuropathic symptoms (p=0.01) compared to the CG. Conclusion: Computer-based balance exercises improve balance, pain, and clinical presentation of DPN, but not nerve function, in patients with DPN.
