İntermittan Ekzotropyalı Çocuklarda Okülo-Motor Egzersizlerin Etkisinin Araştırılması

ÖZ GİRİŞ ve AMAÇ: Çocukluk çağında sıklıkla görülen intermittan ekzotropya tedavisinde sıklıkla cerrahi dışı teknikler tercih edilmektedir. Mevcut çalışmayla okülo-motor egzersizlerin intermittan ekzotropya tedavisi ve hasta-ebeveyn memnuniyet düzeyleri ile yaşam kaliteleri üzerine etkisini değerlendirmek hedeflenmiştir. YÖNTEM ve GEREÇLER: İntermittan ekzotropya tanılı 51 hastanın demografik özellikleri, yaşları, doğum ayları, açık alanda geçirdiği süreler, sikloplejik refraksiyon ölçümleri,snellen eşeli ile elden düzeltilmiş ve düzeltilmemiş görme keskinlikleri, yakın ve uzak olmak üzere alternan prizma örtme testleri (PÖT), Titmus testleri ve konverjans ölçümleri yapıldı. Fizyoterapist tarafından 6 hafta süre ile her gün 2 seans olacak şekilde bakış stabilizasyonlu okülo-motor egzersizler hastalara ev programı olarak verildi. Egzersiz öncesi ve sonrası memnuniyet ve yaşam kalitesi testleri uygulandı. BULGULAR: Yapılan analizlerde sol göz görme keskinliği [p=0.076],sağ göz skiaskopi [p

Investigation of The Effect of Oculo-Motor Exercises in Children with Intermittent Exotropia

ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: In the treatment of intermittent exotropia, which is frequently seen in childhood, non-surgical techniques are often preferred. The present study aims to evaluate the effect of oculo-motor exercises on intermittent exotropia treatment and patient-parent satisfaction levels and quality of life. METHODS: 51 patients diagnosed with intermittent exotropia were performed demographic characteristics, age, months of birth, outdoor time, cycloplegic refraction measurements, corrected and uncorrected visual acuity with snellen chart, and close and distant alternan prism covering tests (PÖT), Titmus tests and convergence measurements. Oculo-motor exercises with gaze stability as home exercise protocols were given to all participitans for two sessions per day for six weeks by the physiotherapist. Satisfaction and quality of life tests were performed before and after exercise. RESULTS: In the analysis, left eye visual acuity [p=0.076], right eye sciascopy [p
