      <textblock>
        The quality of life of people after the earthquake is significantly affected. In particular,&#xD;
        adequate and correct management of the damage caused by trauma on the human body is very&#xD;
        important to reduce disability. Epidemiological information about the injury pattern from&#xD;
        past earthquakes is crucial for preparedness and effective response to potential earthquakes&#xD;
        in regions where resources are scarce. Thanks to the epidemiological data obtained from&#xD;
        post-earthquake injury patterns, hospitals can be prepared for possible earthquakes, and&#xD;
        disability and mortality can be reduced.&#xD;
  &#xD;
        Although many earthquake victims suffer injuries that require treatment, there are large gaps&#xD;
        in knowledge regarding the epidemiology of earthquakes. It is essential to evaluate the data&#xD;
        collected after the earthquake in the planning phase of the health demands of the earthquake&#xD;
        area. Epidemiological studies on earthquakes guide the planning and organization of health&#xD;
        services for hospitals located in and around the earthquake area. By knowing the injury&#xD;
        patterns that will occur after the earthquake, the effectiveness of the early and specific&#xD;
        treatments to be applied to the earthquake victims can be increased significantly. In this&#xD;
        way, complications, disability and mortality rates that may occur in future natural disasters&#xD;
        can be reduced. The aim of this study is to record the injury patterns and treatments of the&#xD;
        patients who were consulted to the physical therapy and rehabilitation clinic after the 2023&#xD;
        Kahramanmaraş earthquake in our country, which is an earthquake zone, and to ensure that the&#xD;
        physical therapy physicians meet the possible earthquakes in a more knowledgeable,&#xD;
        experienced and prepared manner.&#xD;

            -  All age group patients, male and female, who had earthquake-related injuries and were&#xD;
               consulted to the physical therapy unit were included in our study. Our study included&#xD;
               both earthquake survivors who were consulted before the study (their files were&#xD;
               scanned retrospectively) and newly registered patients (by obtaining voluntary consent&#xD;
               form signatures).&#xD;
