This study was planned to reveal the level of smartphone addiction and the factors affecting smartphone addiction in young adults in Turkey. Design: In the study, how long the young people had been using the smartphone and their daily usage times were recorded. The Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS), Neck Disability Index (NDI), Body Awareness Scale (BAS), and Sedentary Behavior Questionnaire (SBQ) scales were employed as data collection tools. Results: The study was conducted with 1000 participants aged 18-45, and 807 were female. 85.6% of the participants have been using smartphones for at least 3 years and 77.3% of all participants use smartphones for more than 4 hours a day. According to the SAS scale, 34.8% of the participants had smartphone addiction. Smartphone addiction is higher especially in those who have a sedentary life or individuals with neck disabilities (p = 0.005; p < 0.001 respectively). No significant difference was found between body awareness and smartphone addiction (p = 0.380). However, body awareness scores were higher in the group without smartphone addiction. There was a significant difference between the groups in terms of the SAS, BAS, NDI, and SBQ scores in the participants classified by smartphone usage time. Conclusion: Female gender, daily usage of a smartphone for more than 4 hours a day, having a smartphone for at least 3 years, presence of sedentary behavior, and neck disability were the factors affecting smartphone addiction in young people. No relationship was found between body awareness and smartphone addiction. Further studies on the awareness of the effects of intensive smartphone usage on the body should be conducted among young people in Turkey.

COVID-19 hastalığı sadece enfekte olanları değil, karantina uygulamaları nedeniyle evlerinde kalan her kesimden insanı fiziksel ve psikolojik yönden olumsuz etkilemiştir. Sağlık hizmeti veren kuruluşlarda yoğunluk yaşanmasına ve sağlık hizmetlerinin sunumunda güçlüklerin yaşanmasına neden olmuştur. Bu nedenle COVID-19 hastalığı; telesağlık/ tele-tıp veya telerehabilitasyon gibi web tabanlı uygulamalara olan ilgiyi artırmıştır. Fizyoterapistler, tedavi sırasında hastalarıyla yakın temas içerisinde uygulamalarını gerçekleştirdikleri için enfeksiyon açısından riskli meslek grubundadır.

Especially, the presence of balance disorder increases the risk of lower extremity injury of the athletes during the return to sports. The purpose of this systematic review is to present a summary of the available evidence by evaluating balance tests used after lower extremity injuries. The review was performed according to the guidelines of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) with a literature review covering three databases. The methodological quality of the studies was assessed using the Quality Assessment Tool for Observational Cohort and Cross-sectional Studies. A total of 1259 articles were reviewed at the beginning of the study, and 8 of them were included in the study. The full text of 8 studies consisting of 1575 athletes, 1515 of whom were female, with a mean age of 20.03±2.88 years, with and without a history of lower extremity injury, were analyzed. All studies were methodologically classified according to the Quality Assessment Tool for Observational Cohort and Cross sectional Studies. It was determined that the athletes in the included study had a history of injury involving the knee and ankle joint. It was seen that the Star Excursion Balance Test was more preferred in the evaluation of the balance of the athletes. In this review, four Star Shaped Balance Tests, one Lower Extremity Quarter-Y Balance Test, one Dynamic Postural Stability Index, one Postural Stability Balance Test on One Leg, and one pressure center, which are performed for returning to sports after lower extremity injury. It was determined that there is no definite information in the literature regarding the balance criteria required for returning to sports of athletes with lower extremity injuries.

Bu alanda en dikkat çekici gelişmeler de cep telefonlarında gerçekleşmiştir. Özellikle genç nesillerde kullanımı oldukça yaygın olmakla birlikte her yaştan kesimin kullandığı akıllı telefonlar yaşamın ayrılmaz bir parçası haline gelmiştir. Bireylerin yaşamlarında sağladığı yararlar ve kolaylıklar elbette göz ardı edilemez, ancak bilinçli kullanım sağlanmadığında bağımlılık gibi bir tehlikeye de zemin hazırlamaktadır. Aşırı kullanım alışkanlıkları nedeniyle kullanım sırasında edinilen postürün bireylerde oluşturacağı fiziksel problemler ile bağımlılık nedeniyle uyku kalitesinde bozulmalar meydana gelmekte, bireylerin yaşamları olumsuz etkilenmektedir. Aşırı akıllı telefon kullanımının neden olduğu düşünülen sosyal kaygı, anksiyete, depresyon, güvensizlik, telefonundan ayrılamama, yalnızlık ve izolasyon, nomofobi gibi psikolojik ve davranışsal sorunların yanı sıra yoğun akıllı telefon kullanımının öğrenme güçlüğü, bellek performansını ve karar verme becerisini olumsuz etkilemesi nedeniyle bireylerin hem iş hem de akademik performanslarında düşüş gözlemlenmektedir. Günümüzde akıllı telefon kullanımının çok küçük yaşlara kadar gerilediği düşünüldüğünde bireylerde akıllı telefon bağımlılığına karşı duyarlılık oluşturulması, bilinçli akıllı telefon kullanım tekniklerinin öğretilmesi ve bu bağlamda sağlık otoritelerinin, eğitim kurumlarının ve ebeveynlerin de bağımlılıkla mücadelede bir araya gelerek kapsamlı bir çalışma yapması önem arz etmektedir.

Material and Method: In the study, one of the qualitative research methods was designed in a descriptive type using the document review technique. In February 2022, postgraduate studies carried out by physiotherapists were reached by using the keywords "Type 2 diabetes" and "Type II diabetes" in the database of the Thesis Center of the Presidency of Higher Education. The 5 graduate studies that provided the inclusion criteria were examined in terms of balance and exercise parameters. Results: Between 2014-2021, 5 postgraduate thesis studies, including 2 master's and 3 doctoral theses, were determined by physiotherapists on balance and exercise parameters in individuals with Type 2 diabetes. It has been observed that physiotherapists use clinical and laboratory balance tests in their studies in parallel with the literature. In addition, it has been found that they provide a wide range of exercise training from simple, easily applicable exercises to computerized systems in order to improve balance. Conclusion: Considering the role of physiotherapists in preventive rehabilitation, it is thought that more studies with high evidential value are needed in the national and international literature to be conducted with individuals with Type 2 diabetes
Achilles Tendon Injuries and Early Functional Rehabilitation Practices, 2022

Achilles tendon injuries observed during daily life and sports activities occur in the relatively avascular area 2-6 cm proximal to the calcaneus, the sticking point of the tendon Surgical or conservative treatment preferences in injury are affected by conditions such as the age of the patient, the type and localization of the tear, the profession of the patient, chronic disease. Especially immobilization performed with a long-term splint or plaster should not be preferred after surgery and longleg plaster should be avoided. The fact that immobilization causes atrophy of muscles, adhesion, joint stiffness, shortening of tendons has increased the interest in functional rehabilitation. Early functional rehabilitation with early surgical or weight transfer, controlled range of motion, and a combination of both rehabilitation and the process involves dynamic mobilization exercises. In contrast to immobilization practices, early mobilization trainings (ankle exercises, early weight bearing activities, etc.) provide a rapid functional improvement and positively affect return to work, quality of life and patient satisfaction. Correctly planned and structured rehabilitation programs are important for maintaining and maintaining health and preventing diseases. Early functional rehabilitation practices that will be carried out with multidisciplinary approaches under the supervision of physiotherapists who demonstrate their clinical skills in accordance with the needs of the patient and closely follow the literature are very important in the return of the patient to quality of life and activities.

COVID-19 has negatively affected people from all walks of life who remain in their homes due to quarantine practices, not just those who are infected. It has led to an intensity in health care organizations and difficulties in the delivery of Health Services. Physical therapists are at risk for infection, as they practice in close contact with their patients during treatment. Researchers reported that physical therapists should decongest their treatment except in emergencies, and compliance with infection rules is important in mandatory treatments. In addition, telerehabilitation applications have been recommended by scientists with the idea that it can reduce the rate of infection spread. Telerehabilitation has been defined by physiotherapists using a range of technology-based tools as remote provision of rehabilitation services to improve the health of individuals. Physiotherapists can perform individuals ' exercises, evaluate their patients and reduce the rate of infection spread by remotely offering health services with telerehabilitation during the COVID-19 period. Research has shown that telerehabilitation applications can be as effective as conventional treatment protocols. It is important to acquire a web-based system in which sufficient personnel and technical infrastructure are provided for the dissemination of telerehabilitation practices during the epidemic period. We believe that with the dissemination of permanent practices, the quality of telerehabilitation studies, which are found in a limited number of literature in our country, may increase.

Methods: Young individuals between the ages of 18-25 studying at a vocational school were included in the study. While recording the demographic information of the participants, individuals were classified as "heavy users" and "light users", taking into account the duration of smartphone use during the day. In addition, the physical activity levels of the individuals were evaluated with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF), the smartphone usage level with the Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Form (SAS-SF), and the sleep quality with the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Results: A total of 424 people, 326 of whom were women, with a mean age of 20.30±1.34 years, participated in the study. It was determined that 70.3% of the participants used smartphones for more than 4 hours a day. It was determined that there was a weak negative correlation between the academic success of the students and their physical activity levels, and that their academic success was not affected by smart phone use and sleep quality. However, it was determined that there was a weak positive correlation between the sleep quality of the students and their smartphone use. It was observed that the physical activity levels of male students were higher, while the academic success and sleep quality of normal education students were better. Conclusion: We think that active life, adequate and conscious smartphone use and quality sleep habits can affect academic success in university students.

Results: Between 2014-2021, 5 postgraduate thesis studies, including 2 master's and 3 doctoral theses, were determined by physiotherapists on balance and exercise parameters in individuals with Type 2 diabetes. It has been observed that physiotherapists use clinical and laboratory balance tests in their studies in parallel with the literature. In addition, it has been found that they provide a wide range of exercise training from simple, easily applicable exercises to computerized systems in order to improve balance. Conclusion: Considering the role of physiotherapists in preventive rehabilitation, it is thought that more studies with high evidential value are needed in the national and international literature to be conducted with individuals with Type 2 diabetes
Achilles Tendon Injuries and Early Functional Rehabilitation Practices, 2022

Achilles tendon injuries observed during daily life and sports activities occur in the relatively avascular area 2-6 cm proximal to the calcaneus, the sticking point of the tendon Surgical or conservative treatment preferences in injury are affected by conditions such as the age of the patient, the type and localization of the tear, the profession of the patient, chronic disease. Especially immobilization performed with a long-term splint or plaster should not be preferred after surgery and longleg plaster should be avoided. The fact that immobilization causes atrophy of muscles, adhesion, joint stiffness, shortening of tendons has increased the interest in functional rehabilitation. Early functional rehabilitation with early surgical or weight transfer, controlled range of motion, and a combination of both rehabilitation and the process involves dynamic mobilization exercises. In contrast to immobilization practices, early mobilization trainings (ankle exercises, early weight bearing activities, etc.) provide a rapid functional improvement and positively affect return to work, quality of life and patient satisfaction. Correctly planned and structured rehabilitation programs are important for maintaining and maintaining health and preventing diseases. Early functional rehabilitation practices that will be carried out with multidisciplinary approaches under the supervision of physiotherapists who demonstrate their clinical skills in accordance with the needs of the patient and closely follow the literature are very important in the return of the patient to quality of life and activities.
COVID-19 Process and Telerehabilitation Applications in Physiotherapy: Review, 2021

COVID-19 has negatively affected people from all walks of life who remain in their homes due to quarantine practices, not just those who are infected. It has led to an intensity in health care organizations and difficulties in the delivery of Health Services. Physical therapists are at risk for infection, as they practice in close contact with their patients during treatment. Researchers reported that physical therapists should decongest their treatment except in emergencies, and compliance with infection rules is important in mandatory treatments. In addition, telerehabilitation applications have been recommended by scientists with the idea that it can reduce the rate of infection spread. Telerehabilitation has been defined by physiotherapists using a range of technology-based tools as remote provision of rehabilitation services to improve the health of individuals. Physiotherapists can perform individuals ' exercises, evaluate their patients and reduce the rate of infection spread by remotely offering health services with telerehabilitation during the COVID-19 period. Research has shown that telerehabilitation applications can be as effective as conventional treatment protocols. It is important to acquire a web-based system in which sufficient personnel and technical infrastructure are provided for the dissemination of telerehabilitation practices during the epidemic period. We believe that with the dissemination of permanent practices, the quality of telerehabilitation studies, which are found in a limited number of literature in our country, may increase.

Methods: Young individuals between the ages of 18-25 studying at a vocational school were included in the study. While recording the demographic information of the participants, individuals were classified as "heavy users" and "light users", taking into account the duration of smartphone use during the day. In addition, the physical activity levels of the individuals were evaluated with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF), the smartphone usage level with the Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Form (SAS-SF), and the sleep quality with the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Results: A total of 424 people, 326 of whom were women, with a mean age of 20.30±1.34 years, participated in the study. It was determined that 70.3% of the participants used smartphones for more than 4 hours a day. It was determined that there was a weak negative correlation between the academic success of the students and their physical activity levels, and that their academic success was not affected by smart phone use and sleep quality. However, it was determined that there was a weak positive correlation between the sleep quality of the students and their smartphone use. It was observed that the physical activity levels of male students were higher, while the academic success and sleep quality of normal education students were better. Conclusion: We think that active life, adequate and conscious smartphone use and quality sleep habits can affect academic success in university students.

METHODS: The cross-sectional study included 373 health care workers. Data were collected using an online questionnaire consisting of the Sociodemographic Form (32 items related to the working conditions of health care professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic) and the Penn State Concern Questionnaire. RESULTS: The anxiety levels of the female workers were significantly higher (p<0.001). The total Penn State Concern Questionnaire points were determined to be statistically significantly higher in those who need to protect the family during the pandemic (p=0.03), who were dissatisfied with their profession (p<0.001), and those whose workload had increased during the pandemic (p=0.007). CONCLUSIONS: The study results demonstrated that the levels of anxiety of health care workers during the COVID-19 pandemic could be increased by young age, low level of experience, female gender, increased workload, and dissatisfaction with the profession.

whom were female, with a mean age of 20.03±2.88 years, with and without a history of lower extremity injury, were analyzed. All studies were methodologically classified according to the Quality Assessment Tool for Observational Cohort and Cross sectional Studies. It was determined that the athletes in the included study had a history of injury involving the knee and ankle joint. It was seen that the Star Excursion Balance Test was more preferred in the evaluation of the balance of the athletes. In this review, four Star Shaped Balance Tests, one Lower Extremity Quarter-Y Balance Test, one Dynamic Postural Stability Index, one Postural Stability Balance Test on One Leg, and one pressure center, which are performed for returning to sports after lower extremity injury. It was determined that there is no definite information in the literature regarding the balance
criteria required for returning to sports of athletes with lower extremity injuries. As a result, we determined that the balance criterion changed depending on the sports performed after the lower extremity injury, the time of the injury, the form of the evaluation, and whether there was a previous injury history.
