Effective treatment is aimed with new methods in physiotherapy
With the developing technology, applications in the field of physiotherapy and rehabilitation help to increase the effectiveness of treatments. Üsküdar University NP Feneryolu Medical Center Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation (PTR) Polyclinic offers a wide range of health services from spinal health to neurological rehabilitation, from sports health to hand rehabilitation unit with its advanced and innovative methods and applications. With the isokinetic system in the center, the strength and endurance of the person's muscles are improved in 3-4 weeks. The center also plans the right exercise prescriptions for patients, disabled and healthy individuals.
Üsküdar University Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Department Head Assoc. Prof. Dr. Defne Kaya said that physiotherapy rehabilitation practices cover a very wide area.
Third in Turkey and a first in foundation universities
Stating that NP Feneryolu Medical Center Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation (PTR) Polyclinic fills an important gap in this field, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Defne Kaya said:
"Medicine is progressing rapidly in the world and in our country. As it advances, it is branching out. These branches, in which we specialize and develop ourselves, also apply to physiotherapy rehabilitation science. Unfortunately, there was no specialized physiotherapy rehabilitation clinic in Istanbul, which is found in very good universities in the world and in Hacettepe and Gazi Universities in our country. We wanted to create a center where academic physiotherapy rehabilitation professors blend their academic and clinical experiences with universal truths in the light of ethical truths and offer them to the service of patients."
A wide range of health services are provided
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Defne Kaya said, "Physiotherapy rehabilitation applications are also performed in areas such as orthopedic rehabilitation, neurology and neurosurgery rehabilitation, cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, cerebral palsy, hand surgery rehabilitation, muscle diseases and rehabilitation, rheumatic diseases, women's health, sports health and vocational rehabilitation."
Stating that they serve with a different understanding in the Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation (PTR) Polyclinic, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Defne Kaya said, "We wanted to be far away from the classical and conventional physiotherapy rehabilitation clinical approaches, to transfer our clinical experience gained from tens of thousands of patients we have treated and our academic experience that we have grown with numerous scientific publications to our patients, and to include our love for people and country. The result is not only a place where current scientific treatment methods are applied, but also a colorful, spacious, large, modern, technologically advanced center. We have achieved a first among the physiotherapy rehabilitation departments of universities in Istanbul. We are happy to establish, develop and bring you this center where the academicians of the department practice in their specialized clinical areas."
Current methods are applied
Stating that the patients applying to the FTR Polyclinic are evaluated in detail by academician physiotherapists who are specialized in their field, and that the necessary physiotherapy rehabilitation approaches are carried out by academician physiotherapists who are also experts in their fields, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Defne Kaya said, "Physiotherapy rehabilitation methods developed according to new, up-to-date, scientific, universal and ethical principles are applied in our center. With our belief in a holistic approach, our patients are supported by other units of our center throughout their treatment in line with their needs."
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Defne Kaya stated that in addition to the globally accepted treatment program and according to the need, it is aimed to provide support from all necessary approaches to improve recovery with cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, oral-motor rehabilitation, hand rehabilitation, orthopedic rehabilitation, spine health, neurological rehabilitation, lymph edema massage and exercise therapies.
Improves muscle strength endurance in 3-4 weeks
Stating that their patients are supported with technological devices and exercise equipment such as isokinetic devices, cardiopulmonary exercise testers and exercise equipment in the center, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Defne Kaya said that the isokinetic system in the clinic is found in a few centers in our country and in Istanbul and said, "It both evaluates the strength and endurance of your muscles and the sensory sensation of your joint, and with the treatment program, it allows you to improve your muscle strength and endurance in 3-4 weeks instead of 12 weeks, and quickly improves your joint sensory sensation."
What happens to our heart during exercise?
Stating that the cardiopulmonary exercise test device (CPET) is available in a few centers in our country and in Istanbul, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Defne Kaya said, "With this device, we can determine the level of aerobic and anaerobic exercise with this device, where we can examine all kinds of changes in respiration and heart that occur with exercise. We can determine at which heart rate we can burn fat by doing which activity and at which heart rate we can train our heart. KPET is a great system where we can determine our metabolic rate, the amount of oxygen we take in and carbon dioxide we give with movement, not only to determine, that is, to evaluate, but also to train all respiratory and cardiac patients, that is, to treat them."
Stating that recovery in the Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation (PTR) Polyclinic is provided in the best, shortest and versatile way, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Defne Kaya said, "In the meetings held regularly every 15 days by the rehabilitation team, the treatment processes of our patients who apply to our center are evaluated and the treatment plan is regularly updated and kept active with different perspectives. In this way, the most appropriate treatment for our patients is planned with a joint decision by the academicians who make up the rehabilitation team, and the right treatment is designed with a multidimensional perspective."
Sports and exercise programs are created for healthy people
"Our aim is not only to treat diseases, but also to apply health-protective and health-promoting approaches," said Assoc. Prof. Dr. Defne Kaya, "Physical fitness and exercise, aerobics, yoga, pilates, body recognition and relaxation trainings are among our programs. We create "individual-specific, appropriate and effective" preventive approaches and exercise programs both following the healing process of our patients and to protect and even improve the health of our other clients."
