Filter by:The aim of this study is to examine the acute effect of the foam roller (FR) method applied to the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle after respiratory muscle fatigue on joint range of motion (ROM), accessory respiratory muscle activity and muscle strength. The aim of this study is to examine the changes in fatigue and pain symptoms by applying relaxation on the tense fascia and shortened muscle as a result of resistance training, and the effect of these changes in the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle on joint range of motion (ROM) and muscle strength in healthy male or female participants aged 18-30. In line with the investigators' results, it may be recommended to add foam roller (FR) to the accessory respiratory muscles in the pulmonary rehabilitation program in patients with chronic lung diseases. For this reason, the investigators think that it will provide clinical and scientific benefits. The investigators believe that it will lead studies to add foam roller (FR) to the pulmonary rehabilitation program in patients with chronic lung diseases. Participants will be informed about the risks and benefits of participating in the study and a voluntary consent form will be signed. Participants will be given a demographic data form before starting the study and will be asked to fill it out. The hypermobility value will be measured according to the Beighton score before the participants start the tests. After the inspiratory muscle training (IMT) study, foam roller (FR) will be applied to the right sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle. A one week washout period will be given. Afterwards, the cases will be applied foam roller (FR) to the left sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle after the inspiratory muscle training (IMT) study. All evaluation parameters will be repeated before and after the applications. Maximum inspiratory pressure measurement, range of motion (ROM) measurements, muscle strength tests, flexibility with a myotony measuring device, electromyography (EMG) measurements will be made before the study one by one.
Shoulder pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal conditions among athletes and sports enthusiasts who engage in overhead sports, and it can be highly disabling. Since the shoulder is one of the joints with the greatest range of motion in the human body, it is important to seek strategies that address trunk stability comprehensively to achieve full and effective joint mobility. The central role of the diaphragm in trunk stabilization has been the subject of research for over 50 years, although the exact mechanisms are still not fully understood. The objective of this study is to assess the effects of inspiratory muscle training on diaphragm thickness, inspiratory muscle strength, and shoulder pain in adult tennis players with non-specific shoulder pain. This is a single-blind, randomized controlled clinical trial. The intervention will last for 8 weeks. Patients with non-specific shoulder pain will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. The experimental group will undergo specific inspiratory muscle training, while the control group will receive no specific training intervention. Measurements of diaphragm thickness, inspiratory muscle strength, and shoulder pain will be taken before and after the intervention.
Coronavirus-2019 (COVID-19) is a new virus that emerged in December 2019 and spread quickly all over the world. Problems such as hypoxia, dyspnea, increased fatigue, decreased exercise capacity and respiratory muscle strength occur in COVID-19 patients.In addition, abnormalities in skeletal muscles due to systemic inflammation, mechanical ventilation, sedation and prolonged bed rest in hospital and intensive care patients cause decreased exercise capacity.
COVID-19 is an infectious disease which presents a heterogenous clinical presentation. Recent investigations suggest that people who were infected by COVID-19 often develop physical disabilities (i.e. pain, fatigue), neurological complications and and mainly disorders of the respiratory system, such as respiratory muscle weakness after hospital discharge. Many therapeutic approaches such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) have been proposed to minimize functional and structural impairments. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effects of inspiratory muscle training associated with stimulation of the diaphragmatic motor cortex through hd-tdcs in post-COVID-19 patients on inspiratory muscle strength, pulmonary function, inflammatory levels and functional capacity.
The impact of the reduction of daily physical activity (DPA) in patients with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) is a highly studied area, due to its impact on the quality of life and the clinical evolution of the disease . This fact has multifactorial components: its function is naturally diminished with time, and its effects on the loss of physical condition (decondition). However, dynamic hyperinflation and respiratory muscular dysfunction, especially in patients with more symptomatology, have been identified as those that have the most relevant factors that impact on daily physical activity Due to the detrimental effects of the pulmonary hyperinflation, the diaphragm is flatter and shorter, being in a position of mechanical disadvantage. This contributes to a reduced effort capacity and increase in the dyspnea of patients during daily activities. Resistance training improves their exercise capacity and reduces dyspnea, however it does not improve inspiratory muscle strength. It is for this reason, that specific training of the inspiratory muscles, offers special interest in patients with decreased inspiratory muscle strength and pulmonary hyperinflation.
The study is a monocentric, controlled randomized trial. Its an interventional method study. There is a control and an interventional group. The interventional group is receiving a specific inspiratory muscle training with "Respifit" (special device for inspiratory muscle training) during the first 30 days after allogenic stem cell transplantation. The investigators want to show that the training group gets stronger inspiratory muscles. The investigators measure the change of PIMAX values and MVV values.
