    Determination of Learning Style Preferences in Students at the Faculty of Health Sciences
    (Marmara Univ, Inst Health Sciences, 2017) Karaborklu Argut, Sezen; Mustafaoglu, Rustem; Kus, Gamze; Ozdincler, Arzu Razak
    Objective: It is very important that students have knowledge about learning style preferences as each individual learns differently. This study was performed to determine the learning style preferences of students in the Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, Health Management, Midwifery, and Social Work Departments at the Faculty of Health Sciences in Istanbul University and to determine whether these preferences differ according to department, gender, and class levels. Methods: A total of 306 students in the 2015-2016 academic year participated. In this study, a general screening (survey) model was used via the Internet. The Visual, Aural, Read/write, Kinesthetic Learning Preference Inventory was used for data collection. Results were analyzed using SPSS 20.0. The level of significance was accepted as p<0.05. Results: The participants mostly preferred the Kinesthetic style. In addition, in terms of department and class levels there was no significant difference in any dimension of the scale. Only the kinesthetic dimension was found to be significantly influential in terms of gender. Conclusion: We believe that being aware of the learning style preferences will positively affect the approach to the course of the students and they will increase the success of the course by reducing the effort and time which spending on learning. In terms of educators, we foresee that learning style preferences will guide the selection of appropriate techniques and materials.

    Sensory-Motor Training Versus Resistance Training in the Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Controlled Trial
    (Sage Publications Ltd, 2023) Kus, Gamze; Tarakci, Ela; Ozdincler, Arzu Razak; Ercin, Ersin
    Objective To compare the effectiveness of sensory-motor training and resistance training in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Design Randomized controlled trial. Setting Istanbul University, Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation. Subjects Forty-eight participants with knee osteoarthritis. Interventions Following baseline assessment, participants were randomly allocated to sensory-motor training (n = 24) and resistance training (n = 24). Both groups received training three times a week for 8 weeks. Main measures The primary outcome measure was the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC). The secondary outcome measures were pain level, muscle strength, proprioception, range of motion, quality of life, and patient satisfaction with treatment. Patients were assessed before and after four- and eight-week interventions. Results There was no significant difference between the groups' total WOMAC scores after four- and eight-week interventions (respectively, p = 0.415, p = 0.828). There was a significant improvement in pain level during movement and in the energy subscale SF-36 for resistance training after the four-week intervention (respectively, p = 0.012, p = 0.007). After the eight-week intervention, a significant difference was noted in favor of resistance training in the secondary outcome measure quality of life (QoL). No significant difference was found in other secondary outcomes. Conclusions At the end of the treatment, it was observed that sensory-motor training had a similar effect in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis symptoms to resistance training. These findings may suggest that sensory-motor training is an effective new method to treat patients with knee osteoarthritis.
