Telerehabilitation can be proposed to individuals with mechanic neck pain to improve functional abilities and limit the risk of early degeneration of the musculoskeletal system due to postural problems. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of 12-week telerehabilitation on pain, posture, performance, and energy consumption in individuals with mechanical neck pain.A telerehabilitation program was applied to 78(23.79 ± 8.95)individuals with mechanic neck pain. A synchronized posture-based exercise program was performed 3 times a week for 12 weeks. Pain, postural measurements, performance, and energy consumption levels were determined for each participant before and after telerehabilitation program. Craniovertebral, shoulder, and eye angle were measured with a smartphone application. Clinical tests were used to measure muscle shortness. Performance measurement was evaluated with the 6-minute walk test. The Physiological Cost Index was used for energy consumption assessment.Craniovertebral angle were increased (p=0.001),eye angles were improved after 12-week telerehabilitation (p=0.002). Shortenedpostural muscles were assessed as in normal length after telerehabilitation (p<0.001). There was a significant increase in performance after telerehabilitation (p=0.001). No significant changes in energy consumption of individuals were found after telerehabilitation (p=0.384).This study showed positive effects of telerehabilitation in individuals with mechanic neck pain on pain, posture, and performance. Telerehabilitation can be suggested as an effective modality to decrease pain, improve posture, and performance in individuals with mechanic neck pain

Menstrual health and genital hygiene behavior in patients with cerebral palsy (CP) is underrecognized, undertreated, and negatively affects quality of life. The aim of this case-control study is to compare menstrual health and genital hygiene behaviors in adolescent girls and young women with CP to a healthy women control group. Participants were invited to study via social media tools between August 2021 and February 2022. The study included 74 adolescent girls and young women with CP and 89 healthy women. Menstrual status with semi-structured questions, menstrual symptoms with “Menstrual Symptom Questionnaire (MSQ),” genital hygiene behavior with “Genital Hygiene Behavior Scale (GHBS)” were evaluated. The control group scored significantly higher on the MSQ sub-dimensions of “negative effects somatic complaints” (r = 0.396; p < .001), “menstrual pain” (r = 0.287; p < .001), “coping methods” (r = 0.291; p < .001), and total score (r = 0.395; p < .001), as well as the GHBS sub-dimensions of “awareness of abnormal findings” (r = 0.270; p = .001) and “menstrual hygiene” (r = 0.495; p < .001) and total score (r = 0.393; p < .001). People with CP had worse genital hygiene behavior, had less menstrual symptoms, and behaved differently about the menstruation symptoms. This study focused on adolescent girls and young women with CP who cannot easily express their own experiences and concerns, emphasized that their needs should be identified by determining their menstrual health and genital hygiene behaviors.

Introduction: This study purpose of determining the short-term effects of kinesio taping on drooling in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Methods: CP were randomly divided into 3 groups as the kinesio tape (n = 16), sham tape (n = 16), and control (n = 16) groups. The drooling severity and frequency were assessed with the Drooling Severity and Frequency Scale, and the amount of saliva was measured by the 5-minute drooling quotient. All outcome measurements were repeated for all children at the baseline, after 45 minutes, and after 2 days of application. Results: There was a significant decrease found in drooling severity, frequency, and amount in the kinesio taping group (p < .05). There was no significant difference in the sham taping and control groups (p > .05). Conclusion: The use of kinesio tape in drooling reduced drooling severity, frequency, and amount.
