Filter by:The aim of this observational study is to investigate relationship between cervical, thoracic, lumbar and thoracolumbar spine posture, spine movement, isometric and eccentric shoulder strength, scapular dyskinesis and core muscle endurance in healthy competitive young swimmers in comparison with healthy recreational swimmers. The main question is whether spine posture affects spine movement, shoulder strength, scapular dyskinesia and core endurance. Participants will asked to complete a warm up period, after that spine posture, spine movement, scapular dyskinesia, shoulder strength and core endurance will be assessed by examiner. Researchers will compare competitive swimmer group and recreational swimmer group. Additionally correlation between spine posture, spine movement, scapular dyskinesia, shoulder strength and core muscle endurance will be investigated in competitive swimmer group. Aim of the study is to determine whether posture have any effect upon these parameters.
Posture is generally defined as the sitting or standing position of a person's body. Repetitive or prolonged positioning in an atypical posture may also occur as a risk factor for the development of musculoskeletal diseases. Race, gender, seasons, nutrition, socio-economic status, profession and occupations, psychological state, hygiene, sleep patterns, exercise habits, fatigue, fractures, soft tissue disorders, disorders in the normal alignment angles of the joints, and emotional states such as joy, grief, and distress. It affects posture. Creating professional awareness among physiotherapy and rehabilitation students is very important for the physiotherapy profession, which has a very important role in protecting and improving public health, to achieve its professional goals. On the other hand, physiotherapists and physiotherapy students are at great risk of musculoskeletal disorders due to their working conditions and working postures. The basic principle of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques, defined as facilitating the responses of the neuromuscular mechanism by stimulating the proprioceptors and briefly referred to as PNF, is based on the principle that physiological movements in the human body have rotational and oblique characters and that a greater response can be achieved with movements performed against maximum resistance. The shoulder girdle serves purposes beyond stabilization and movement of the extremities. The clavicle and scapula cooperate as a single unit in the shoulder girdle. The scapula is not a weight-bearing structure during normal functions; rather, it supports the attachment of skeletal muscles.
This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of a 4-week postural correction exercise program in reducing FHP in children carrying heavy backpacks to school. This study's findings could have significant implications for preventing musculoskeletal problems associated with FHP. Furthermore, the study's findings could inform healthcare professionals and educators about the importance of promoting healthy postures among children and adolescents to prevent long-term musculoskeletal problems. This is an experimental study. Subjects will be divided into two groups. Group A (control group) and group B (experimental group).fun activities will be performed by experimental group under the supervision of the therapist.
The scapula provides the base of the kinetic chain, which is stabilized by the surrounding muscles. Considering that activating the scapular musculature to stabilize the spine would restore the relationship between body segments, analyzing the scapular muscle activations in the treatment of hyperkyphosis may be a crucial component of an effective therapeutic program. Video games can be used to stimulate scapular muscles in children with thoracic hyperkyphosis because a game-based exercise program has been observed to increase voluntary motor control in children, thereby promoting selective muscle activation. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of video game therapy on the activation of scapular muscles and postural stability in children with thoracic hyperkyphosis, as well as the contribution of these variables to upper extremity performance.
Objectives: Musculoskeletal problems have been a concern in dentists for years. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between posture and musculoskeletal pain in dentists.
The 4 main motor symptoms seen in Parkinson's patients are tremor, rigidity, postural instability and bradykinesia. In addition to these, another common symptom investigators encounter is balance problems. Increasing balance problems can lead to falls and fractures over time, which will further reduce the independence of Parkinson's patients who are not already active enough and reduce their quality of life. For these reasons, it is very important that balance is achieved and sustainable. It has been found in previous studies that spinal posture and body position sensation are affected in Parkinson's patients. But to our knowledge, no study has been found in the literature to address the effect these have had on balance function. In our planned study, investigators aim to investigate the effects of spinal posture and body position sensation on balance function.
The effects of balanced posture and postural changes have been evaluated in specific populations with different factors that can affect body postures and balance, such as age, musculoskeletal system, and other metabolic diseases. Studies on postural kyphosis and balance involvement are very few in the literature especially in the health population. Of the few studies that have evaluated kyphosis and balance, most are limited by small sample size and the exclusion of men. Many have focused primarily on the geriatric population. The determination that the effect of thoracic kyphosis posture on trunk biomechanical alignment may be related to balance may contribute to new treatment recommendations in this area. The aim of this study is to investigate whether the thoracic kyphosis posture has an effect on static balance.
It has been reported that the head protrudes forward relative to the body from the sagittal plane associated with the anterior shifting of the line of gravity (LOG) relative to the base of support (BOS). On the other hand, the center of gravity (COG) has changed with the forward head posture (FHP) and is related to mechanical and musculoskeletal modifications due to postural control, which affects the whole body balance. Griegel-Morris et al. Reported that, after evaluating eighty-eight healthy participants, 66% had a forward head posture (FHP). In addition, he stated that the inverted head posture in the forward head posture will not only cause neck problems, but also can extend to the shoulder joint and thoracic spine. As a result, it causes a general imbalance in the musculoskeletal system. Jung-Ho Kang and his colleagues examined the effect of daily sitting times of computer users on dynamic and static balance and stated that balance ability decreased in heavy computer users. Another study on forward head posture (IBP) revealed that it limits ankle joint movement, especially in ankle plantarflexion.
Introduction: An inappropriate posture in children for a while kept playing some instrument of the group of the rubbed string, can cause pain and alterations of the spine, as it continues to consolidate. Objective: To study the benefits acquired during the application of the Pilates Method combined with therapeutic exercise against the Therapeutic Exercise to reduce alterations of the vertebral rachis in children from 10 to 14 years old who play instruments of rubbed strings.
This study aims to investigate trunk position sense, postural stability and spine posture in fibromyalgia patients and healthy women.
