Background: Postural stability (PS) is a vital function that helps maintain equilibrium during standing still, locomotion, and any activities requiring high balance performance. Under static and dynamic conditions, PS is a fundamental factor for the quality of movement in everyday activities or sports. PS and adaptive ability are required in sports due to the interactions between the sensory and motor systems, which regulate postural adjustments by processing information from the visual, vestibular, and somatosensory systems, as reported by previous studies. The interest in using different exercises and protocols for improving PS in sports and physiotherapy has grown in the last few decades. Experts have proposed various training modalities to increase neuromuscular stability, balance, postural control, and general stability. Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) is a complex of correction exercises with a neuromuscular approach based on improving breathing, fundamental movements, and principles of developmental kinesiology. Whole body vibration training (WBV) is a neuromuscular training approach that has recently become very popular among researchers and practitioners in health and sport. It is usually used as an additional method in a conventional training routine. Designing the training program to achieve the optimal benefits for PS in healthy young adults is important in general personal health management. Although different training protocols have improved PS and general stability in everyday activities, there is still considerable debate regarding the optimal exercise modalities within an exercise program. Aim: The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of dynamic neuromuscular stabilisation (DNS), whole-body vibration (WBV), and a combination of DNS and WBV (MIX) training modalities on postural stability (PS) in healthy recreation participants. Method and materials: 180 gender-balanced groups were divided into four groups, MIX, DNS, VIBRO and CONTROL and underwent two months of treatment. The single and double-leg Center of Force (COF) parameters were collected on the Forceplate.
The lower extremity consists of sequent columns. The deviation of one segment from its normal alignment in the lower extremity also affects the alignment of the other segments. The alignment of the parts of the foot during weight bearing is called foot posture. Foot posture is divided into neutral, pronation, and supination. Foot posture varies significantly from person to person, and deviations from normal foot posture are associated with lower extremity injuries. Increased or prolonged pronation has been identified as both a risk factor and etiologic factor for increased navicular drop, a lower extremity malalignment pattern. In pronation posture, the foot may not adequately adapt to the ground, and there is increased movement of the lower extremity in the frontal plane. As a result, the person's postural stability is compromised. The fact that the foot is the most distal segment of the lower extremity chain indicates that even small biomechanical changes in the bearing surface can significantly affect postural control strategies. There are studies in the literature that examine the effect of foot pronation on dynamic balance and postural stability in individuals with different foot postures. However, to our knowledge, there is no study that examines differences in postural stabilization and lower extremity alignment by classifying individuals with varying degrees of subtalar joint pronation into pronation and hyper pronation groups.
Posturology allows to treat postural problems by using postural insoles, which will have an effect at the neurophysiological level. Pieces of 1 to 3 millimeters are inserted to stimulate specific receptors located on the sole of the foot, which will affect the muscular proprioception and modify the activation of the ascending muscle chains. The hypothesis of this work is based on the fact that the use of postural insoles with a 2 millimeters metatarsal bar will influence the displacement of the center of pressure and the muscle activity of the leg when compared with a placebo insoles. Participants will be healthy subjects and will be divided into two groups, control and experimental. Subjects in the control group will be given a pair of flat insoles (placebo insoles) with 1.2 millimeters polyester resin. Those of the experimental group will be made the same insoles but they will include by thermal fusion a metatarsal bar of 2 millimeters polyester resin in the metatarsal zone corresponding to the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th metatarsal head. Postural stability analysis will be performed with the force platform of the Biomechanics Institute of Valencia (IBV-Spain) and at the same time an electromyographic analysis in the dominant leg with a surface electromyograph system. Subjects will be assessed with their eyes open and closed under two situations, with footwear and with footwear and insoles.
STUDY DESIGN: Randomized controlled study OBJECTIVES: To investigate the contribution of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) applied to gluteus medius (GMed) to isokinetic strength, femoral internal rotation (FIR), frontal plan projection angle (FPPA) and postural stability (PS) in individuals with asymptomatic dynamic knee valgus (DDV). BACKGROUND: In the literature effect of IASTM on force production and performance has been examined with exercise, and results of the studies are contradictory. Studies investigating the effects of IASTM without exercise and at recommended dose are needed. METHODS: 44 participants with DDV (21,39±1,79) were randomized to be control group (CG=22) and graston group (GG=22). First day, participants' FIR, FPPA with single leg squat test, dynamic and static PS on involved leg evaluations were completed. Second day, eccentric strength of GMed was measured by isokinetic test. IASTM application was applied 6 weeks, twice a week, 5 minutes, using Graston Technique® instruments. CG has not been attempted. Evaluations were repeated at the end of treatment.
The aim of this study is to evaluate postural control in children with idiopathic toe walking using computerized dynamic posturography (Biodex Balance System), which is reported to be a reliable and valid instrument for detecting changes in balance and postural control in the literature.
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of inter-rectus distance on postural stability, pelvic floor dysfunction and respiratory muscle strength in women with diastasis recti abdominis.
The relationship between increased femoral anteversion and postural control in healthy children has not been studied in the current literature. To our knowledge there is no study to evaluate postural control in children with increased femoral anteversion by computerized posturography. We aimed to evaluate postural control in children with increased femoral anteversion using computerized dynamic posturography (Biodex Balance System).
In view of the long-term exercise, you can maintain your health and strengthen your physical strength. It can also improve your body's balance and help maintain your body's coordination so that you can reduce the chance of falls. Therefore, in the face of aging, stroke rehabilitation or balance of power caused by balance of power decline, sports injuries or falls related issues, this study will focus on "balance ability" to explore a range of impacts and relationships.
Study 1 is to determine if muscle strength and dynamic and postural stability are compromised in patients with severe hip or knee Osteoarthritis (OA) and in patients after THA and TKA. Study 2 is to quantify the effect of THA and TKA on muscle strength and dynamic and postural stability.
