Filter by:This study was planned to investigate the relationship between the risk of injury and posture in wrestlers. The study will be included male wrestlers. The spine posture and flexibility of the athletes will be measured during standing position with the Idiag M360® brand Spinal Mouse (SM), while the overall body posture will be measured from the anterior and lateral sides using the New York Posture Analysis Method (NYPAM). Injury risks of the athletes will be evaluated by Functional Movement Screen (FMS) which was consisting of seven basic movement patterns.
This study aimed to assess the sensory and kinematic components of the limits of stability (LOS) test in patients with vertebral compression fracture (VCF) .
The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in the thickness of abdominal muscles during activation of thoracolumbar fascia through contracting the gluteus maximus and latissimus dorsi muscles. The hypothesis was that the thickness of transversus abdominis and internal oblique would show greater increase when abdominal contraction was performed with simultaneous contraction of gluteus maximus and latissimus dorsi (bridge with arm extension) than that of abdominal contraction alone (abdominal hollowing) or abdominal contraction with simultaneous activation of only gluteus maximus (bridge). Thirty healthy subjects (15 women, 15 men) were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Thickness of transversus abdominis, internal oblique and external oblique muscles were evaluated using ultrasound at rest and during three exercise positions: abdominal hollowing in neutral spine, bridge, and bridge with isometric arm extension using ultrasound device equipped with 55 mm convex array transducer
The primary aim of this study is to investigate the effect of mechanical correction taping on the stiffness of the upper trapezius and pectoralis minor muscles in patients with rounded shoulder deformity. The secondary aim of our study was to see whether different tape materials affect the application results.
There is many subjective balance tests to evaluate static and dynamic balance. But, there is no sufficient information about which balance test is the most sensitive test to evaluate balance. Therefore, the aim of this study is to compare of sensitivity of the subjective balance tests with an objective system.
This study aim to compare a new postural garment (Posture Plus Force ®) versus exercises in women with non specific cervical pain. The investigators focus on nurses and allied health professionals due to the importance of posture in work related musculoskeletal disorders.
Objectives: The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of exercise and life modification on pain and disability in "text neck". Methods: Eighty-five participants were randomly divided into three groups: Exercise (n=29), Exercise+Life modification (n=28), and Control Group (n = 28). Pain intensity during rest, activity, and at night was evaluated with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and functional assessment was done by using Neck Disability Index at the beginning and at the end of 4 weeks.
This study will determine whether an Actigraph GT3X accelerometer can identify body position and quantify step count in a ward based population recovering from critical illness.
Cerebral palsy (CP) can be defined as a group of disorders of movement and posture, causing activity limitation that are attributed to nonprogressive deficits that take place in the immature brain. The motor disorders of CP are often accompanied by deficits in sensation, cognition, communication, perception, behavioral and respiratory system . Children with CP have many primary motor impairments such as selective mobility, muscle weakness, abnormal muscle tone, impaired coordination between agonist-antagonist muscles and insufficient postural control. These motor impairments also lead to secondary problems such as contractures and bone deformities. Whether primer or secondary, all these problems can reduce independence in activities of daily living (ADL) by affecting CP children at different levels. There are several studies in children with CP that investigate the effects of trunk control and/or respiratory functions. However, there are very few studies examining the relationship of these functions which have direct effects on ADL. In these studies, the functions of children who are more heavily affected and unable to move have been examined. However, there are no studies examining the effect of trunk control on respiratory muscle strength in children with CP with a better mobility level. There are many factors affecting both trunk control and respiratory functions in these children. Therefore, in children with CP, who have better functional level and can move on their own, revealing the interaction between trunk control and respiratory functions may contribute significantly to the treatment process. For this reason, this study was planned to investigate the effect of trunk control on ADL and respiratory muscle strength in children with CP having a Gross Motor Functional Classification System (GMFCS) levels of 1 and 2 and to compare them with healthy children.
For better view of fiberoptic intubation, the posture of neck is compared between neck flexion and extension.
