BACKGROUND: Neurodevelopmental treatment (NDT), neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), and Kinesio Taping (KT) applications are separately used to improve postural control and sitting balance in children with cerebral palsy (CP). OBJECTIVE: The

The study was conducted to examine the hedonic hunger, physical activity, and depression status of healthy university students and to reveal the relationship between these parameters. A total of 174 healthy university students were included in the study. Hedonic hunger responses were similar at different physical activity levels. When the relationship between individuals' hedonic hunger responses and intensity of depression was examined, it was found that there was a weak positive correlation between them. Hedonic hunger can have negative effects on university students' depression status. Taking precautions to improve nutrition and physical activity in university students can be effective in preventing this problem.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the use of baby walkers on trunk control and motor development in typically developing children. Demonstrating standard developmental steps, 29 children (14 females, 15 males; mean age 10±1 month) who used a baby walker and 19 children (10 females, 9 males; mean age 10±1 month) who did not use a baby walker were included. Motor skills were assessed using the Alberta Infant Motor Scale and trunk control using Segmental Assessment of Trunk Control. The motor development scores and trunk balance scores were found significantly lower in infants who used a baby walker compared with those not using a baby walker. It was concluded that the use of baby walkers might adversely affect the motor development of infants and this may be due to impaired trunk control.
