Abstract

Objective: Physical limitations in traffic accidents with injuries reduce the functional level and reduce the quality of life. Apart from forensic medical evaluations, the importance of multidimensional evaluations of patients draws attention. In this context, the effectiveness of physical therapy and rehabilitation gains importance in the treatment of physical limitations. In our study, we aimed to examine the participation of patients who applied to Department of Forensic Medicine for the determination of the rate of disability due to injuries caused by an accident, to physical therapy and rehabilitation programs for sequelae and treatment. Methods: The data of 114 cases were examined in a prospective, descriptive study. The average age of the subjects participating in the study was 36.25±13.38 years and their gender distribution was 43 (37.7%) female and 71 (62.3%) male. Results: While 42 (36.8%) of the cases participated in the physical therapy and rehabilitation program at least once due to traffic accident injury, 72 (63.2%) did not. As a result of the statistical analysis, it was found that there was no significant difference in participation to the physical therapy and rehabilitation program according to age, gender, education level and injury site. Conclusion: We think that participation in the physical therapy and rehabilitation program will increase the quality of life with the contribution it will provide at a functional level.

Özet

Amaç: Yaralanmalı trafik kazalarında oluşan fiziksel kısıtlılıklar fonksiyonel seviyeyi azaltmakta ve yaşam kalitesini düşürmektedir. Adli tıbbi değerlendirmeler dışında hastaların çok yönlü değerlendirmelerinin önemi dikkat çekmektedir. Bu kapsamda fiziksel kısıtlılıklarının tedavisinde fizik tedavi ve rehabilitasyonun etkinliği önem kazanmaktadır. Çalışmamızda, Adli Tıp Anabilim Dalı’na kaza sonucunda meydana gelen yaralanmalarına bağlı maluliyet oranının tespiti için başvuran olguların, sekel ve tedavisine yönelik fizik tedavi ve rehabilitasyon programlarına katılımlarını incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Prospektif, tanımlayıcı nitelikteki çalışmada 114 olgunun verileri incelendi. Yaralanmalı trafik kazasında vücudunda kas iskelet sistemini etkileyen en az bir yaralanması olan 18 yaş üstü olgular dahil edildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan olguların yaş ortalaması 36,25±13,38 yıl olup, cinsiyet dağılımları 43’ü (%37,7) kadın, 71’i (%62,3) erkekti. Olguların 42’si (%36,8) trafik kazası yaralanmasına bağlı en az bir kez fizik tedavi ve rehabilitasyon programına katılım gösterirken, 72’si (%63,2) katılmamıştır. İstatistiksel analizler sonucunda yaşa, cinsiyete, öğrenim durumuna ve yaralanma bölgesine göre fizik tedavi ve rehabilitasyon programına katılımda anlamlı fark olmadığı bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Fizik tedavi ve rehabilitasyon programına katılımın fonksiyonel düzeyde sağlayacağı katkı ile yaşam kalitelerini artıracağını düşünmekteyiz
