Muscular Disease Therapy
What Are Muscular Diseases? Muscular diseases refer to conditions that affect the muscles, which play a vital role in enabling body movement. These disorders disrupt the structure or function of muscle cells, significantly impairing muscular performance. Muscular diseases can occur at any stage of life—from infancy and childhood to adolescence, adulthood, and old age—affecting individuals of all ages. What Are the Symptoms of Muscular Diseases? Muscular diseases are common and can hinder individuals from performing routine daily activities. Their symptoms include: Gait disturbances due to weakness in the hip and surrounding muscles Difficulty in standing up and walking Children affected at an early age may frequently want to be carried, especially while walking or climbing stairs During adolescence, affected individuals may lag behind their peers, show changes in gait, and demonstrate unusual movement patterns Weakness in spinal and surrounding muscles may lead to difficulties in lifting, extending, or moving the arms If the hands and feet are affected, there may be frequent tripping, falling (leading to faster shoe wear), and trouble performing fine motor tasks In rare cases, drooping eyelids and restricted eye movements may occur Involvement of swallowing or respiratory muscles Frequent falls and rapid fatigue Who Is Affected by Muscular Diseases? Depending on the abnormality in the muscle tissue, the severity of muscular diseases can vary—ranging from mild symptoms to severe impairments that significantly reduce life expectancy. Types include: Muscular Dystrophies (e.g., Duchenne, Becker, Facioscapulohumeral, Limb-Girdle, Distal, Emery-Dreifuss) Congenital Muscular Dystrophies Myopathies Myotonias Dermatomyositis and Polymyositis What Are the Goals of Ergotherapy in Muscular Diseases? The goal of rehabilitation in muscular diseases is to improve the quality of life for both the child and the family, and to support the child's independent participation in daily activities. Specific objectives of ergotherapy include: Preserving muscle strength or slowing down muscle weakness Supporting and protecting joints during different stages of the disease, and improving function using appropriate tools, equipment, and assistive devices Teaching fatigue management strategies Teaching joint and energy conservation techniques Enhancing functional capacity to promote independence in daily living activities Providing home rehabilitation to ensure a safer and more energy-efficient living environment Using preventive rehabilitation approaches to maintain existing functional capacity for as long as possible Through individualized therapy and adaptive strategies, ergotherapy plays a vital role in maximizing functional independence and well-being in individuals with muscular diseases.

Premature Infant Rehabilitation
Infants who may experience developmental delays due to problems during pregnancy, at birth, or after delivery are referred to as high-risk infants. This group generally includes premature (preterm) infants, full-term infants with low birth weight, and infants who require care in a neonatal intensive care unit after birth. Which infants are considered premature? Infants born before 37 weeks of gestation are classified as premature. Those born between 34–36 weeks are considered late preterm, 32–33 weeks moderate preterm, 28–31 weeks very preterm, and those born before 28 weeks are classified as extremely preterm. What does low birth weight mean? A birth weight below 2500 grams is considered low birth weight. If the weight is under 1500 grams, it is classified as very low birth weight; if under 1000 grams, it is extremely low birth weight. What problems can occur in high-risk infants? During the neonatal period, issues such as brain damage due to lack of oxygen (hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy), respiratory distress, jaundice (hyperbilirubinemia), and eye problems related to underdeveloped blood vessels (retinopathy of prematurity) can occur. Additionally, 5–15% of premature infants may develop permanent neurological conditions like cerebral palsy. High-risk infants are at risk for delays in motor, sensory, cognitive, and social development. These may include muscle weakness, delays in rolling over, sitting, crawling, and walking, as well as early difficulties with sucking and swallowing and delayed speech development later on. High-risk infants may have trouble self-soothing, cry frequently, avoid movement, or exhibit sensory problems such as hyperactivity or excessive need for stimulation. Who should monitor high-risk infants? The level of risk is determined according to the definitions above, and a multidisciplinary team may be involved depending on the infant’s needs. This team can include neonatologists, developmental pediatricians, pediatric neurologists, special education experts, occupational therapists, speech-language therapists, and pediatric physiotherapists. How is the development of high-risk infants assessed? At our institution, the neuromotor development of high-risk infants is assessed by physiotherapists who are well-versed in typical infant development and skilled at observing and analyzing infant movements. Spontaneous movements, positional transitions (e.g., rolling from back to tummy), movement strategies (crawling, scooting, creeping), reflexes, and muscle tone are comprehensively evaluated to determine whether the infant is developing typically or deviating from typical development. Based on this evaluation and in agreement with the family, an early intervention program is initiated. What is an early intervention program? An early intervention program involves physiotherapy approaches that begin as early as possible (ideally from birth) and continue up to 24 months of age. Depending on the child’s risk level and condition, therapy may continue through school age, especially if neurological impairments are present. The goal of physiotherapy is to utilize the brain’s plasticity (its ability to adapt and reorganize) to promote the acquisition of typical motor patterns and help the child achieve the highest level of independence possible. The first 2–3 years of life are critical, as brain and nervous system development is most rapid during this period. Therefore, early intervention significantly improves treatment outcomes. What therapy approach is used to support motor and sensory development in infants? The most widely used approach worldwide is the Bobath (neurodevelopmental) therapy concept. The aim of Bobath therapy is to maximize the functional abilities of children with neurodevelopmental disorders. Bobath therapists design individualized therapy programs for each infant and also focus on providing environmental adaptations, enhancing parent-infant communication, involving the family in therapy, and teaching how to extend therapy throughout the day. The infant is continuously reassessed, and the program is adjusted based on needs to ensure treatment effectiveness. How can I access evaluation and early intervention programs for high-risk infants? At our institution, the Bobath Therapy Unit offers evaluation and early intervention programs for high-risk infants. Infants are assessed within the Bobath framework, and their development is supported with a physiotherapy program tailored specifically to their needs.

Lymphedema Rehabilitation
Lenfödem Nedir? Lenfödem, vücuttaki lenf dolaşımının doğuştan veya sonradan çeşitli nedenlerle bozulması sonucu, sıklıkla kol ve bacaklarda nadiren de gövdede şişliklerle görülen, proteinden zengin sıvının doku altında birikimidir. Lenfödemin artışını engellemek ve mevcut ödemin azalması amacıyla lenfatik sistem akışının arttırılmasının sağlanması tedavinin temel hedefidir. Nedenleri Primer lenfödem, lenf dokusunun doğumsal yokluğu ya da anormalliğinden oluşur. Sekonder lenfödem ise sonradan gelişen lenf yollarındaki sorundan kaynaklanır ve daha sık görülür. Herhangi bir kanser tipinde, ameliyat veya ışın tedavisi sonrası gelişebilir. Özellikle meme, prostat ve alt karın bölge kanserleri sonrası ortaya çıkar. Meme ameliyatı sonrası koltuk altı lenf bezlerinin çıkarılması sonrası lenfödem gelişme sıklığı yaklaşık %25'tir. Ameliyatın büyüklüğü, çıkarılan lenf bezi sayısı ve ışın tedavisi uygulanması lenfödem gelişme riskini artırır. Kola veya bacağa darbe, sıyrık-kesik, böcek ısırığı ve enfeksiyon gibi küçük yaralanmalar da neden olabilir. Belirtileri Kolda veya bacakta sıkışma ya da dolgunluk hissi Ağrı, ağırlık, karıncalanma Şişlik ve kızarıklık Kol, el veya ayak bileğinde hareket zorluğu Saat, yüzük, bilezik ya da ayakkabının sıkması Deride gerginlik hissi, sıkıntı ve huzursuzluk Yavaş gelişirse ölçüm yapılmadıkça fark edilmeyebilir. Gözle fark edildiğinde tedavi gereken düzeye ulaşmış olabilir. Korunma Yöntemleri Her şişliği önemsemek ve doktora başvurmak Kol veya bacağı temiz tutmak, cilt bakımı yapmak Banyo sonrası ve gün içinde nemlendirici sürmek Manikür yaptırmamak; tırnak etlerini geri itmek Her türlü basınçtan korunmaya çalışmak Tansiyon ölçtürme, masaj gibi basınçlı uygulamalardan kaçınmak Riskli kol veya bacakla ovma, çekme, itme gibi tekrarlayıcı hareketlerden kaçınmak Ciltteki sıyrık, çizik, böcek ısırığı durumunda sabunla yıkayıp temiz tutmak Anti-bakteriyel krem kullanmak Açık yarayı temizleyip kapatmak Hafif yanıkta soğuk uygulama sonrası sabun ve su ile yıkamak Kızarıklık, şişlik, ısı artışı, duyarlılık ve ateş belirtilerine karşı uyanık olmak Kol veya bacağı güneş yanığından korumak Güneşten koruyucu krem kullanmak Fırında çıkan kapları koruyucu eldiven ile tutmak Kaynayan su ve mikrodalga fırından buharına dikkat etmek Banyoda keseleme, lifleme yapmamak Sauna, kaplıca gibi sıcak ortamlardan kaçınmak Riskli koldan aşı olmamak, tansiyon ölçtürülmemek, kan aldırmamak Giysilerin lastiklerinin sıkı olmamasına dikkat etmek Şişlik Olursa Ne Yapılmalı? Hemen doktora başvurulmalıdır. Daha önce yaşanmış olsa bile doktor tarafından değerlendirilmesi uygun olacaktır. Tanı En güvenilir ve basit yol, iki kol veya bacak arasındaki çevre ölçümlerini karşılaştırmaktır. Tanıda ayrıca doppler ultrasonografi ve lenf sintigrafisi gibi görüntüleme yöntemlerinden yararlanılabilir. Tedavisi Lenfödem tedavisi zaman ve sabır gerektirir ancak sonuç başarılıdır. Erken fark edilirse tedavi daha kısa, uzun süredir varsa daha uzun sürecektir. Tedavinin en önemli hedefi, lenfödemin artışını engellemek ve mevcut ödemin azalması amacıyla lenfatik sistem akışının arttırılmasını sağlamaktır. Eklem hareket kısıtlılıklarını ve enfeksiyon oluşumunu önlemek de birincil hedeflerdir. Ne kadar erken fark edilir ve tedaviye başlanırsa, başarı şansı o kadar artar. Tedavi Yöntemi Fizik Tedavi ve Rehabilitasyon hekimi tarafından planlanan tedaviye uyum, tedavi başarısını etkiler. Tedavi bir aydan uzun sürebilir. Doğru uygulama yapılmazsa başarı sağlanamaz. Tedavide amaç, şişliği indirmek ve tekrar oluşmasını önlemeye çalışmaktır. Bunun için doğru cilt bakımı yapılmalıdır. Kola veya bacağa uygun nemlendirici günde iki kez aşağıdan yukarı tek yönde uygulanmalıdır. Elle yapılan lenf drenajı tedavide oldukça önemlidir. Lenf drenajı, bu konuda eğitim almış deneyimli kişilerce uygulanmalıdır. Sonraki aşama bandajlamadır. Çevre farkı fazla ise (iki kol veya bacak arasında 2–2.5 cm) bandaj tedavisi başlanır. Kısa germeli bandaj ile çok katlı bir uygulama yapılır. Çevre farkı istenen sınırlara indiğinde, basınç giysisine geçilir. Tedavide ayrıca basınç pompaları (pnömatik kompresyon cihazları) ve egzersizlerden yararlanılır. Egzersizler, takip döneminde ve sonrasında da koruyucu amaçlı mutlaka yapılmalıdır. Tedavinin Etkileri Tedavi edilmezse kolda veya bacakta enfeksiyon ya da pıhtı gelişebilir. Şişen kol veya bacağın hareketi zorlaşır, zamanla kısıtlılık olur. Ağrı, yara ve çatlaklar rahatsız edicidir. Kıyafet seçmek zorlaşır. Ruhsal sıkıntılar görülebilir. Tedavi edilmezse ilerleme olasılığı yüksektir.

Manual Therapy
What is Manual Therapy? Manual therapy is applied by physiotherapists or physical therapy physicians trained in this field. The patient is positioned appropriately for the technique to be applied, and it is performed entirely by hand. No invasive procedures such as injections are used, and it is not performed painfully. Safety tests are always conducted beforehand to ensure the procedure is safe for the patient. Verbal briefing is provided throughout the session so the patient feels confident and relaxed. Mechanism of Action Mechanical effect: Increases joint fluid in the joints, reduces tension within or around the joint, allowing freer movement — similar to oiling a squeaky door. Neurophysiological effect: During mobilization, signals from the joint and surrounding tissues to the brain reduce the protective muscle tension the brain creates around that joint. Properly applied manual therapy techniques help the brain reduce its protective response, enabling pain-free movement. Manual Therapy Techniques Joint mobilization and manipulation Soft tissue mobilization Myofascial release Neural mobilization Muscle energy techniques Traction applications Conditions Treated Neck and back pain Lumbar disc herniation and low back pain Shoulder, knee, hip and ankle problems Joint range of motion restrictions Headaches and cervicogenic pain Sports injuries Postural disorders Fibromyalgia Manual Therapy at ROMMER At ROMMER International, manual therapy is applied by specialist physiotherapists with specific training in this area. A comprehensive evaluation and safety tests are performed before each session.
