Filter by:Shortening of pectoralis minor (PMi) muscle affects the scapular excursion that results in limited shoulder flexion range of motion (SFROM). The purpose is to evaluate the effect of Stretching of PM muscle along with the strengthening of lower trapezius (LTR) muscle to increase the length of PM muscle (PML) and limited SFROM in young adult females with rounded shoulder posture.
With the onset of prosthesis use following lower extremity amputations, body shows biomechanical changes according to the amputation level and consequently develops adaptation mechanisms both on the healthy and ampute side. The aim of this study is to determine the static postural adaptations that appear at different amputation levels.
Effects of an exercise program based on hypopressive exercises in the female population.
The aim of the study is to demonstrate a correlation between body posture and the structure and function of the stomatognathic system in school-age children.
The aim of the study is to determine the effects of the use of smartphone on the neck and shoulder posture, pain, and functions, and the quality of life in young adults. The sample of the study consists of university students. According to the scores they got from the Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version, all participants will be divided into two groups. The neck and shoulder posture, pain, and functions, and the quality of life will be compared between the two groups.
Postural stability can be affected by multiple factors. Such as; body mass, inactivity, age and etc. This study was planned with the aim of investigating the effects of Yoga training on postural stability of males and females. Yoga is a treatment model for body flexibility, body awareness, and strength.
Background: Dynamic balance keeps the vertical projection of the center of mass within the base of support while the center of mass moves. The age-related decrease in dynamic balance is a risk factor for falls. Dynamic balance tests are used to predict the risks for falls and eventual falls but the psychometric properties of most tests assessing dynamic balance are unsatisfactory and comprise no actual loss of balance while walking. Objectives: Using beam walking distance as a measure of dynamic balance, we will determine the psychometric properties, lifespan and patient reference values, the relationship with selected 'dynamic balance tests', and the accuracy of beam walking distance to predict falls. Methods: This cross-sectional observational study will examine healthy adults in 7 decades (n=432) at 4 centers. Center 5 will examine patients (n=100) diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, stroke, and balance disorders. At Test 1, all participants will be measured for demographics, medical history, grip and leg strength, short physical performance battery, static balance on a force platform, and dynamic balance using beam walking (4m-long, 4, 8, and 12 cm wide) under single (beam walking only) and dual task conditions (beam walking while concurrently performing an arithmetic task). In addition, cognitive function (global cognition, attention, executive function, processing speed, memory) will be assessed. Patients and healthy participants age 50+ will be additionally measured for fear of falling, history of falls, miniBESTest, functional reach on a force platform, timed up and go, and reactive balance. At Test 2, 7-10 days after Test 1, healthy adults young and age 50+ (n=40) will be re-tested for reliability of beam walking performance. All participants age 50+ will be re-called to report fear of falling and fall history 6 and 12 months after Test 1. Conclusion: The investigators expect to find that beam walking performance vis-à-vis the traditionally used balance outcomes predicts more accurately fall risks and falls.
To evaluate the effects and feasibility of lycra based compression garment called Stabilizing Pressure Input Orthosis (SPIO) vest on posture and balance during sitting and gross manuel dexterity, parent satisfaction with the garment and to to compare 2 hours vs 6 hours of daily wear time.
Randomized clinical trial to evaluate the elongation of the hamstrings after making different types of stretching. One group receives a stretch of global postural reeducation (RPG), another group receives a mobilization of sciatic nerve, and a third group received a placebo treatment. The evaluation of these treatments are done previously, immediately after and 20 min later. The test used to evaluate elongation are the Sit and Reach and active knee extension (AKE test).
