This randomized control trial examined the effects of postural education or corrective exercise intervention on the craniovertebral angle (CVA) in young adults with forward head posture (FHP). The objectives were 1: to investigate whether or not a corrective exercise program (CEP) consisting of self-myofascial release (SMR) + stretching; a CEP consisting of SMR + stretching + strengthening; or postural education (PE) had an effect on the CVA; 2. to determine which intervention yielded the greatest postural enhancement if a positive effect was observed in more than one intervention. *[note: SMR is a technique involving the self-application of pressure to fascia and muscle tissue for the purpose of enhancing flexibility, reducing muscle soreness, and influencing muscle relaxation]. It was hypothesized that 4 weeks after receiving either CEP intervention or PE there would be a significant change in the CVA compared to a control group; and that there would be an intervention more effective than the others for improving the CVA. The null hypotheses were: there would be no CVA change after intervention in any of the groups; and there will be no intervention more effective than another for improving the CVA.
It has been reported that staying in the same posture for a long time causes musculoskeletal system problems, and the use of mobile phones and other electronic devices continuously, especially in the internet age, causes postural problems in many people. Physiotherapy applications including strengthening, stretching, yoga, pain-oriented applications, and behavioral treatments are performed for an ideal posture to regulate postural problems. When the literature is examined, it has been seen that the studies carried out after the Covid 19 pandemic have developed especially in the direction of telerehabilitation, but there is a need for studies showing the effect of exercise applications developed for individuals with mechanical neck pain. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of 12-week telerehabilitation on posture, energy consumption, and performance in individuals with mechanical neck pain.
To determine the effects of kinesio taping in protracted shoulder posture.
Hemophilia A and B are inherited disorders characterized by deficient or missing coagulation factors VIII or IX, respectively, of which the main long-term clinical manifestation is joint damage. Patients with haemophilia (PwH) are susceptible to clinical joint bleeding that may cause irreversible joint damage. Some degree of damage may already occur after the first haemarthrosis or even in children who never experienced clinically evident joint bleeds. Joints are mechanical systems with a structure strictly related to functioning. Therefore, any alteration in structure may have an impact on function (starting from the primary level of posture and anti-gravity muscles), which might in turn stress the joints and increase the risk of bleeding.The primary aim of this study is to investigate the changes in posture and the mechanical properties of anti-gravity muscles of adolescent PwH. The secondary aim is to determine the effect of joint dysfunction on posture in adolescent PwH.
Postural syndrome describes a variety of conditions in which repetitive or continued bad posture over a long period of time causes pain and reduced function in the muscles and joints. Improper posture can cause pain throughout the length of the spine from the neck to the pelvis. Modern sedentary style of living is one of the main reasons for postural abnormalities evident in modern society. The prolonged sitting hours required in most of the jobs, and educational setups can affect flexibility of soft tissues, especially two joint muscles. Bad posture while standing or walking, if left uncorrected, can worsen over time and lead to pain and dysfunction. Hamstring is a key component of flexibility in the human body and it is more prone to get tightened. Many reasons can lead to the development of hamstring tightness such as genetic predisposition, injury to muscle, and adaptive shortening due to some chronic condition. Short hamstring muscles, because of their attachments to the posterior leg and to the ischial tuberosity, may limit hip flexion ROM and induces posterior pelvic tilt and decreased lumbar lordosis, which can result in LBP The purpose of this study will be to find out the effects of stretching with and without pressure biofeedback unit (PBU) on hamstring muscle flexibility in patients with postural syndrome. The active knee extension (AKE) test will be used to determine the length of the hamstring muscles using a goniometer. A PBU will be used to maintain the anterior pelvic tilt position during active knee extension (AKE) test or stretching, by monitoring the pressure of airbag. Patients will be recruited into study by convenient sampling technique after that will be allocated to groups by simple random assignment. All participants will actively stretch three days per week for four weeks. After collecting data from defined study setting, data will be entered and analyzed by using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) for Windows software, version 25.
In recent studies with musculoskeletal system disorders in chronic respiratory patients, it has been reported that postural control is affected in COPD patients. The aim of this study to investigate relationship between spinal structure and mobility an severity of dyspnea in patients with COPD.
VIRGIL is a monocentric interventional study aiming to investigate the effect of immersion in a virtual tilted room on modulation of the verticality representation (postural vertical [PV] and visual vertical [VV]), which in turn might affect body orientation (head and trunk). To this end, the investigators will conduct a within-person randomized trial including post-stroke patients and healthy participants.
Movement and loading asymmetry have been associated with injury risk for a variety of both acute and chronic musculoskeletal injuries. In addition, asymmetric movements have been identified as compensatory strategies to allow for ambulation in a variety of post-operative populations. Osteopathic physicians have been assessing both structure and function through the use of structural evaluation techniques along with postural assessment that can identify somatic dysfunction. However, no studies have identified the ability of an osteopathic structural evaluation and postural assessment to identify potential movement disorders and loading asymmetry. Therefore, the primary objective of this study is to determine the acute impact of an osteopathic manipulation on restoration of side-to-side symmetry during walking gait in participants who are categorized as having lower extremity dysfunction. We enrolled 51 participants who are pain-free and without a history of major orthopaedic injuries that required surgical intervention. Each subject completed an osteopathic structural evaluation and postural assessment along with an osteopathic manipulation. All participants completed instrumented gait analyses before and after the osteopathic manipulation using a motion capture system and an instrumented treadmill to determine the participant's movement and loading asymmetry during walking.
In healthy participantsng adults, the anterior tilt position of the head and consequently flattening of the cervical lordosis may results in impaired neutral posture of the spine during daily long-term computer etc. use with today's technology. In addition, the increasing use of smart phones may also promote this negative results. According to a study, the estimated total smartphone sales for 2012 was 660 million, but as of 2015, it is estimated that a total of one billion units worldwide. It is also thought that phone sales will continue to increase over the years, as it facilitates daily life activities. As a result of our literature review, the investigators have not come across a study that evaluates demographic information such as the duration of using smartphones or computers, cervical position sense, neck muscle strength, physical activity and general psychological status, which the investigators think may affect the performance of deep cervical flexor muscles in healthy participantsng adults. With this study, it will be ensured that more information about the factors affecting the performance of deep cervical flexor muscles will be determined in advance and necessary steps will be taken to prevent the factors that may cause neck problems in the future.
