    Determination of Age- and Gender-Specific Reference Values for Different Functional Tests with or without Cognitive Dual-Task in Young Adults: An Observational Study
    (Turkey Assoc Physiotherapists, 2025) Analay Akbaba, Yildiz; Emirza Cilbir, Cigdem; Poyraz Isleyen, Tugce; Evrendilek, Halenur; Gungor Eroglu, Nazli; Asena Yekdaneh, Aye; Gungor, Feray; Güngör, Nazlı; Emirza, Cigdem; İşleyen, Tuğçe Poyraz; Analay, Yıldız; Yekdaneh, Ayşe Asena
    Purpose: To determine the age-and gender-specific reference values for the five functional tests performed with or without cognitive dual-task in young adults. Methods: In this cross-sectional observational study, a total of 107 participants were divided into four subgroups based on gender and age: females 18-25 years (G1), and 26-35 years (G2), and males 18-25 years (G3), and 26-35 years (G4). Participants completed the timed up and go test (TUG), 4 meter gait speed test, 10 meter walk test (10MWT), timed 25-foot walk test, and 1 minute sit-to-stand test (1MSTS) with and without dual-tasks. The mean value of each test was recorded. Results: Significant differences were observed in some functional tests. TUG was longer in G1 compared to G2 (p=0.019), 10MWT dual-task performance differed between G1 and G3 (p=0.041), and 1MSTS and 1MSTSdual scores were higher in G3 compared to G4 (p=0.044 and p=0.035, respectively). All dual-task conditions led to decreased performance compared to single-task conditions (p<0.001) Conclusion: The dual-task added to the performance tests changes the time, speed, and number of repetitions in healthy individuals, and these effects may vary according to age and gender. These reference values can guide clinical assessments of dual-task performance in this population.

    Short-Term Effects of Targeted Movement Training on Gait Kinematics in Children with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: A Motion Analysis Study
    (MDPI, 2026) Argunsah, Hande; Dönmez, İrem; Ayaz, Nuray Aktay; Yekdaneh, Asena; Albayrak, Asya; Arman, Nilay; Aktay Ayaz, Nuray; Özbal, Sibel
    Background: Children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) exhibit gait abnormalities, postural instability, and compensatory movement strategies due to joint pain, inflammation, and reduced neuromuscular control. These alterations negatively affect functional mobility and movement efficiency. Although gait retraining is commonly recommended in rehabilitation, objective evidence on its short-term biomechanical effects remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the immediate impact of a single-session standardized movement training intervention on gait biomechanics in children with JIA. Methods: Seventeen children with JIA underwent pre-post gait assessments using the Xsens MVN Awinda wearable motion capture system. The intervention focused on step symmetry, stride length, heel-toe progression, and upright trunk posture, delivered by an experienced physiotherapist following a standardized protocol. Scalar kinematic outcomes were analyzed using paired statistical tests, and time-normalized kinematic waveforms were compared with healthy reference data from 25 age-matched participants derived from the COMPWALK-ACL dataset. Results: Significant improvements were observed in multiple gait parameters following the intervention. Trunk lateral lean decreased significantly (p = 0.0002; d = -1.35), indicating enhanced postural stability. Significant changes were also found in ankle dorsiflexion-plantarflexion (p = 0.0081; d = 0.83) and knee flexion-extension (p = 0.0252; d = 0.68). Waveform analyses showed increased similarity to healthy patterns, particularly in trunk and knee kinematics. Spatiotemporal parameters reflected a slower, more controlled gait pattern, with increased stride time and stance duration. Conclusions: A single session of standardized movement training can produce immediate improvements in gait biomechanics in children with JIA, especially in trunk control and lower-limb kinematics. Wearable motion analysis provides a sensitive tool for detecting these short-term adaptations and supports the inclusion of structured movement training in pediatric JIA rehabilitation.

    Effects of an Adapted Dance Exercise Program on Trunk Control, Balance and Functional Mobility in Children and Adolescents with Cerebral Palsy: Randomized Controlled Study
    (Taylor & Francis inc, 2025) Yekdaneh, Asena; Arman, Nilay
    Aims: The study aimed to investigate whether an 8-week adapted dance exercise program (ADEP), delivered in addition to conventional physiotherapy, would improve trunk control, balance, functional mobility, and quality of life (QoL) in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) compared with conventional physiotherapy alone. Methods: Thirty participants with CP (Gross Motor Function Classification System Level I - II) were randomly assigned to the ADEP group (n = 15) or the control group (n = 15). Both groups received conventional physiotherapy, while the ADEP group additionally performed physiotherapist-choreographed dance exercises accompanied by music, twice a week for 8 weeks. Outcomes included the Trunk Control Measurement Scale (TCMS) for trunk control, the Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) for balance, the Timed Up and Go (TUG) for functional mobility, and the Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument (PODCI) for QoL. Results: The ADEP group showed significantly greater improvements than the control group in TCMS-Total (Delta = 10.53 vs 3.50, p < .001), TCMS-selective motor control (Delta = 6.00 vs 1.42, p < .001), TCMS-dynamic sitting balance (Delta = 7.53 vs 2.28, p < .001), and PODCI-Global scores (Delta = 4.61 vs -1.71, p < .001). Both groups improved in PBS and TUG, but between-group differences were not significant. Effect sizes indicated large improvements in trunk control in favor of the ADEP group. Conclusions: An 8-week ADEP program, when combined with conventional physiotherapy, produced clinically meaningful gains in trunk control and QoL in children and adolescents with CP. These findings support the use of dance-based rehabilitation as a feasible and engaging adjunct to physiotherapy.

    Tele-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, Özge
    Introduction 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.
