Article A Randomized Trial of Cervical Stabilization Exercise Training via Telerehabilitation for Migraine(W.B. Saunders, 2025) Dusgun, Elif Sena; Karahan, Nesrin; Toprak Çelenay, Şeyda; Celenay, Seyda ToprakPurpose: To compare the effects of cervical stabilization exercise training via telerehabilitation (CSET-T) in addition to standard treatment on pain, forward head posture, cervical mobility, muscle performance, functional status, sleep quality, and quality of life in individuals with migraine in comparison to the standard treatment alone. Methods: The control group (n = 20) received standard treatment alone (medication+recommendations). The stabilization group (n = 20) was given CSET-T in addition to standard treatment 3 days a week for 8 weeks. Pain characteristics were assessed by using a pain diary, whereas forward head posture and cervical mobility were measured using a goniometer, cervical muscle performance (CMP) by using a pressure biofeedback unit, functional status by using the Migraine Disability Assessment Scale (MIDAS), sleep quality by using the Jenkins Sleep Scale (JSS), and quality of life by using the Headache Impact Test-6 (HIT-6). Results: Given the group-time interaction, it was found that pain frequency, intensity, duration, MIDAS, JSS, and HIT-6 scores decreased more significantly in the stabilization group when compared to the control group (p < .05). Moreover, the craniovertebral angle, cervical range of motions, and CMP values increased significantly more in the stabilization group (p < .05). It was found that there was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of compliance with standard treatment (p = .665). Conclusions: The study revealed that CSET-T in addition to standard treatment is superior to standard treatment alone in reducing pain, improving forward head posture, cervical mobility, muscle performance, functional status, and quality of life in individuals with migraine. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 12Synchronous and Asynchronous Telerehabilitation Methods Produce Similar Benefits in Individuals With Non-Specific Neck Pain(Springer, 2024) Timurtas, Eren; Selcuk, Halit; Canoz, Ekin Ugur; Inceer, Mehmet; Batar, Suat; Demirbuken, Ilksan; Polat, Mine Gulden; Uğur Canöz, EkinIntroduction Evidence exists on clinical benefits of synchronous and asynchronous telerehabilitation for patients with non-specific neck pain (NSNP); however, limited studies are comparing synchronous and asynchronous telerehabilitation (TR) programs in this population. The aim of this study was to estimate the relative effectiveness of an 8-week synchronous or asynchronous TR in improving pain, functional disability, kinesiophobia, and mobility in patients with NSNP.Materials and methods This was a randomized, controlled clinical trial carried out on 60 individuals with NSNP. Participants were randomly assigned to synchronous TR group (n = 30) or asynchronous TR group (n = 30) that received the same exercise program for 8 weeks. Pain measured by Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), disability measured by Neck Disability Index (NDI), kinesiophobia measured by Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK), and cervical range of motion were used as outcome measures. Assessments were performed at baseline, 4th week, 8th week, and 16th week.Results The analysis showed a significant effect of time and significant interaction between group and time in NPRS, NDI, TSK, and cervical mobility scores (p < 0.05), yet the group effect was not significant (p > 0.05). There were no significant differences between the groups at all time points (p > 0.05) except for cervical right lateral flexion at 8th week (p = 0.036).Conclusion Telerehabilitation technologies are expanding at a rapid rate, and it is essential to understand the outcomes produced using these technologies in health conditions. This study showed that synchronous and asynchronous telerehabilitation produces similar results in patients with NSNP, supporting that either method can be used interchangeably.Article Citation - WoS: 19Citation - Scopus: 18Tele-Assessment of Core Performance and Functional Capacity: Reliability, Validity, and Feasibility in Healthy Individuals(Sage Publications Ltd, 2024) Gungor, Feray; Ovacik, Ugur; Harputlu, Ozge Ertan; Yekdaneh, Ayse Asena; Kurt, Irem; Uzunoglu, Gamze Erturk; Akbaba, Yildiz Analay; Ertürk Uzunoğlu, Gamze; Ertan Harputlu, ÖzgeIntroduction Many assessment methods are used in physiotherapy to analyze the fitness level and injury risk in athletes, and to determine the general health status and the effectiveness of the treatment applied in patients. Considering the need for telehealth use, it is essential to determine the usability of tests performed as tele-assessment. This study aimed to examine the intra-rater reliability, validity, and feasibility of the tele-assessment version of core strength and endurance and functional capacity assessments in healthy individuals. Methods "Curl-up," "Modified Push-up," "Plank," and "Lateral Bridge" tests were used for core strength and endurance performance assessment, and "Timed Up and Go," "30 second Sit to Stand," and "Functional Reach Test" tests were used for functional capacity assessment in healthy individuals. Participants were evaluated first by tele-assessment, then one hour later on the same day, all assessments were repeated face-to-face procedures by the researchers thus the validity of the tele-assessment method was determined. All tests were applied as tele-assessment one week later to determine the intra-rater reliability of the tele-assessment method. The system usability scale was applied to evaluate the usability of our tele-assessment method. Results Eighty healthy people were enrolled. Intraclass correlation coefficients ranged between 0.91 and 0.97 for core performance tests and between 0.95 and 0.97 for functional tests. All tele-assessment versions of the core performance and functional tests were highly correlated with the face-to-face versions. Discussion Core strength-endurance and functional tests performed via tele-assessment were reliable, valid, and feasible for practically measuring the performance of healthy young adults. This study supports the tele-assessment versions of these tests.
