The former aim of this study is to determine whether the arm swings change in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) according to healthy subjects. The latter purposes to investigate the correlation between balance parameters and arm swing, how to change arm swing according to severity of the disease, and to determine the relationship between balance and the severity of disease, the relationship of posture both arm swing and severity of disease in patients with COPD. In accordance with this purposes, 20 patients with COPD who have Global Initiative for Chronic Obstruction Lung Disease (GOLD) stage 1-2-3 and 20 healthy controls will be included between the ages of 40 and 65, respectively. Tests and questionnaires will be used in order to determine the severity of COPD and to evaluate posture. Berg Balance Scale, Time Up and Go Test, 6 Minute Pegboard and Ring Test, 6 Minute Walk Test and gait analysis will be performed. It is expected that by determining the parameters that can be affected by severity of COPD. It is estimate to have information about severity of the disease by means of observational analysis. It will guide professional working in the field.
Our study was conducted to investigate the effect of scapular stabilization exercise training on cervical posture and pain in fibromyalgia. 59 patients aged 18-60 years were included in the study. The patients included in the study were diagnosed with fibromyalgia from the physical therapy outpatient clinic and individuals who did not have any other disease were included. The included individuals were divided into 2 groups by randomization method. Individuals were divided into scapula exercise therapy group (n=29) and classical exercise therapy group (n=30). Hotpack, tens and ultrasound applications were applied to both groups as conventional treatment before exercise. This protocol was applied to both groups for 6 weeks, 5 days a week. Following this protocol, classical shoulder exercises were given to the classical group and stabilization exercises were given to the scapular stabilization group. While the study designer applied the treatment, another designer applied the evaluation. The patients were evaluated for pain, cervical posture, functional status, and quality of life. pain was evaluated with a visual analog scale (vas), cervical posture was evaluated by tragus-wall distance, functional status was evaluated with fibromyalgia impact questionnaire and quality of life was evaluated with nottingam quality of life questionnaire. All evaluations were performed twice before and at the end of the treatment (6 weeks).
Presbycusis could be associated to increased risk to fall. There is little about the impact on postural balance of hearing aids. In this study, the investigators describe the postural balance evolution before and after hearing aid fitting in presbycusis-affected adults (55-80years old) consulting Angers University Hospital ENT department and ENT Medical Doctor of Le Mans .
The aim is to assess the influence of asymmetric training on the locomotor system in sweep rowers. To analyse possible changes objectively, the axial position of the hull will be assessed using Moiré topography, and the symmetry of foot loading will be monitored with a pedobarograph. Furthermore, the Visual Analog scale and Cluster of Laslett will determine whether an asymmetric load can provoke pain in the lumbar region or cause a blockage in the SI joint. In the experimental study, there will be three different groups of participants. Selected sweep rowers will make the first study group. The second group will consist of scull rowers, and the last control group will consist of people with no experience with rowing. The selected participants will undergo the first measurement at the turn of the spring and summer seasons when intensive preparation for rowing competitions begins, in which sweep rowers train mainly on water and asymmetrically. The measurement results in the three groups will be further compared with each other to evaluate whether statistically significant differences can be found.
This study aims to address critical knowledge gaps by investigating the effects of trait conscious movement processing propensity on real-time (state) conscious movement processing propensity, postural stability, and muscle efficiency in older adults at risk of falling in Hong Kong with high and low trait conscious movement processing propensities, while standing in a challenging environment with different levels of standing task difficulties. The study results would contribute to our scientific understanding of the mechanisms of conscious movement processing in older adults while maintaining standing balance in a challenging environment. It could inform the follow-up investigations for the development of the most appropriate psychomotor standing balance re-education intervention in rehabilitation so as to mitigate the effect of conscious movement processing and the risk of falling in older adults. The findings from the proposed research could ultimately help improve the outcome of fall rehabilitation programmes and reduce the impact of falls in the older adults in Hong Kong.
