SOLAK İLE SAĞLAK ÇOCUKLAR ARASINDA VÜCUT PARAMETRELERİNDE BİR FARK OLUR MU? Does Left- or Right-Handedness Make a Difference In Body Parameters between Children?
ÖZET
Amaç: Bu çalışmada, 6-14 yaş aralığındaki sağlak ve solak çocuklar arasında boy, ağırlık, vücut yüzey alanı
(body surface area-BSA) ve vücut kitle indeksi (body mass index-BMI) gibi vücut parametrelerinde farklılık
olup olmadığı araştırılmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu retrospektif çalışmaya 6-14 yaş arası 122 çocuk dahil edilmiş olup, bunların 57’si
kız, 65’i erkektir. 6-8, 8-10, 10-12 ve 12-14 yaş gruplarına ayrılan çocuklardan 14 kız ve 16 erkek, toplamda
30’u solaktır. Solaklık tespiti, çocukların günlük işlerde ve fiziksel aktivitelerde baskın olarak tercih ettikleri
elin hangisi olduğu sorularak yapıldı. Çocukların boy, ağırlık, BSA ve BMI gibi vücut parametreleri saptandı.
Bunlar, yaş grupları, cinsiyet ve el tercihlerine göre (sağlak, solak) tasnif edildi. İstatistiki analizde SPSS 15.0
kullanıldı. Farklılıkların tespiti için Student t testi, Mann-Whitney U testi ve multivariate ANOVA testi yapıldı.
Bulgular: Yaş grupları arasında boy, ağırlık, BSA ve BMI’nde istatistiki olarak anlamlı farklılık saptandı

Effect of Lumbar Spinal Stenosis on Pain, Daily Activities of Living and Muscular Activity
Objective: The aim of this study was investigate whether or not lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) had effect onpain, daily living activities and muscular activation.Material and Methods: Individuals diagnosed as lumbar spinal stenosis with average of 55,19 ± 10,41 yearsold was included to the study. Individuals were divided into three groups as mild, moderate and severe bydural pouch magnetic resonance imaging inspection. Resting and activity pain assessment was made withvisual analog scale (VAS), muscular activity of the rectus femoris, biceps femoris, tibialis anterior and medialpart of the gastrocnemius was measured with surface electromyography (sEMG), and daily living activitieswas assessed with Oswestry lower back disability index.Results: Significant difference was found in VAS and ODI values according to the LSS severity (p<0,05). Painin resting and during activities were different from each other (p<0,05). It was found that individuals withsevere LSS had more lower limb muscular activity compared to moderate and mild individuals, and individuals with moderate LSS had more muscular activity compared to the mild ones (p<0,05).Conclusion: It was determined that disability and pain increases as the LSS severity increases. It was observed that more pain occurs while patients are active. It was concluded that early diagnosis of LSS is importantand necessary preventions should be taken to prevent further increase in severity.
