    (Turkey Assoc Physiotherapists, 2021) Ünlü, İdil Esin; Özengin, Nuriye; Serindag, Sevinc; Bakar, Yeşim; Ankarali, Handan; Topcuoğlu, Ata
    Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate pelvic floor muscle function in different contractions methods at asymptomatic women with transabdominal ultrasonography. Methods: The study included 120 women who were asymptomatic according to the Global Pelvic Floor Bother Questionnaire and volunteered. After recording the physical and sociodemographic characteristics of women were given one-hour training by a physiotherapist. In this training, four different contraction methods (pelvic floor muscle contraction, Hollowing in maneuver, bracing maneuver, anal contraction) were taught theoretically and practically. Pelvic floor muscle function was evaluated under transabdominal ultrasonography. Measurements were repeated three times for each contraction, and the mean of three measurements was taken for analysis. The sequencing of the contractions was determined by random method. According to women's contraction method, pelvic floor muscle function was compared with the Analysis of Variance test in Repeated Measures. Results: According to women's contraction method, pelvic floor muscle function was significantly different (p=0.001). In light of these test results, the pelvic floor muscle function was the highest in the bracing maneuver. It was determined that this was followed by Hollowing in maneuver, pelvic floor muscle contraction and anal contraction, respectively. Conclusion: The women's pelvic floor muscle function was found to be highest in the bracing maneuver and the lowest in the anal contraction type. We consider that the exercises given with bracing maneuver during the pelvic floor muscle training is more effective in increasing the pelvic floor muscle function.

    Examination of posture and balance in children with primary monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis
    (Ios Press, 2023) Inal, Busra; Ozengin, Nuriye; Bakar, Yesim; Ankarali, Handan; Ozturk, Yusuf
    PURPOSE: This study aimed to examine symptom severity, posture, and balance of children with primary monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (PMNE) and compare to a healthy control group. METHODS: Thirty-five children with PMNE and 34 healthy children were included in this study. Physical and sociodemographic characteristics of the children were recorded. Symptom severity was assessed with a Vancouver Non-Neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction/Dysfunctional Elimination Syndrome Questionnaire (NLUTD/DES), a four-day bladder diary and a seven-day bowel diary. Standing postural alignment was assessed with the Spinal Mouse device, and the sensory integration of static balance and dynamic standing balance was assessed with the Biodex Balance System SD. RESULTS: Compared to healthy controls, children with PMNE demonstrated increased symptom severity (p = 0.001), increased upright lumbar lordosis (p = 0.018) and sacral-hip angles (p = 0.029), decreased static balance in the sensory condition of unstable surface with eyes closed (p = 0.001), and decreased mediolateral dynamic balance (p = 0.049). CONCLUSION: Children with PMNE demonstrate altered postural alignment, static and dynamic postural instability, and greater symptom severity on the Vancouver NLUTD/DES than age-matched controls.
