NCT ID: NCT06420869 Enrolling by invitation - Kyphosis Clinical Trials

Investigation of the Effect of Thoracic Kyphosis Proprioception

Start date: May 16, 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Although the negative effect of increased thoracic kyphosis in elderly individuals has been reported in the literature, the effect of the thoracic kyphosis angle on trunk and foot proprioception in young individuals has not been investigated. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the thoracic kyphosis on posture, proprioception and perception of postural appearance in young individuals.

NCT ID: NCT06289465 Not yet recruiting - Depression Clinical Trials

Examination of Pain, Posture, Physical and Mental Status in Seasonal Hazelnut Workers

Start date: September 1, 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The collection of hazelnuts grown in our country provides a great source of employment for local people and seasonal workers. However, geographical conditions in hazelnut growing areas, challenging variable weather conditions in August and insufficient number of workers create a disadvantageous environment for seasonal workers. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of working conditions on mental status, fatigue, pain severity and postures (posture disorders, developmental delays, etc.) of young adults working in Giresun during the hazelnut picking season in comparison with the group living in the same sociodemographic and cultural environment but not working as seasonal workers.

NCT ID: NCT06196268 Completed - Muscle Strength Clinical Trials

Core Strengthening vs Pilates Exercises on Posture, Body Awareness and Fatigue Among Female Athletes

Start date: October 20, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The study is randomized and single-blinded. Ethical approval is taken from ethical committee of Riphah International University, Lahore. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be enrolled and allocated in group A & B through sealed envelope method by Non-probability Convenient random sampling technique. Subjects in Group A will receive Core Strengthening exercises. Group B will receive Pilates exercises.

NCT ID: NCT05914493 Completed - Cognitive Function Clinical Trials

The Effect of Posture on Cognitive Function in Early Adolescence Athletes

Start date: April 1, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

While previous studies focused on the motor system in the analysis of postural functions, recently many researchers have determined that the sensory-cognitive-motor network system is required to determine the correctness of an action. , stroke individuals, Alzheimer's patients, Parkinson's disease, individuals with multiple sclerosis were discussed. In line with these studies, we can say that posture is handled with cognitive skills in people whose physical performance has decreased. However, the relationship between cognitive skills and posture in individuals with high physical performance has been ignored. Understanding posture and cognitive mechanisms is important both for physiotherapists who deal with posture from the neurophysiological aspect and for those who work in the field of psychology who deal with cognitive skills with its psychosocial aspect. The aim of the study is to reveal the relationship between posture and cognitive skills evaluated using the Stroop Test in healthy athletes in early adolescence.

NCT ID: NCT05912751 Completed - Posture Clinical Trials

Acute Responses of Postural Alignment, Kinematic Synergy, and Intermuscular Coherence to Postural Muscle Facilitation (Retrospective)

PPMvsRCM
Start date: August 10, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Postural alignment is often intervened upon in health, fitness, and physical medicine settings. Despite a long tradition in this area, current notions of optimal or normal posture are superficial and often logically inconsistent. A recent attempt to reconcile diverging opinions about good posture proposes that alignment be considered in relation to individual joints' natural tendencies to collapse under gravity. This theory allows different maladaptive postures to be described in terms of functional deficits and compensatory adaptations at the muscular level. Working within this type of theory, postural interventions may be able to account for comparative advantages in maintaining alignment between different muscle systems. This would represent a step forward from current practices, which usually attempt to force arbitrary alignment patterns indiscriminately. The current study presents motion capture and electromyography (EMG) data evaluating the effects of two interventions on individual participants' bipedal standing alignment patterns with respect to the gravitational collapsing tendencies referenced above. Additional outcomes included functional grouping of muscle activation signals (via intermuscular coherence) and kinetic chain continuity. The interventions include 1) an experimental intervention purported to engage muscles that naturally resist the collapsing effects of gravity, and 2) a control intervention designed to inhibit other muscle groups that are sometimes involved in maintaining bipedal alignment in a compensatory role. Study outcomes are measured before and after both interventions to quantify the acute effects of each. All participants complete both interventions in random order, crossing over after a one-week washout period. This research will provide insight into the acute effects of studied interventions, specifically those relating to maintenance of bipedal alignment with respect to gravitational collapsing tendencies.

NCT ID: NCT05721547 Completed - Rotator Cuff Tears Clinical Trials

Alterations in Spinal Alignment and Mobility in Individuals With Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair

Start date: June 20, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

The aim of this observational study was to the alterations in spinal alignment in individuals who have undergone RC surgery and revealed the differences compared to healthy individuals.

NCT ID: NCT05664997 Completed - Posture Clinical Trials

Playing-Related Factors and Occupational Balance

Start date: April 10, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

As the violin is the riskiest string instrument played by Turkish musicians, violinists were chosen for the sample in this study. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between posture, pain, functionality and occupational balance in violinists. The hypothesis was that good playing posture, lack of pain, and functionality affect occupational balance positively.

NCT ID: NCT05608850 Recruiting - Posture Clinical Trials

Acute Responses of Postural Alignment, Kinematic Synergy, and Intermuscular Coherence to Postural Muscle Facilitation

Start date: October 25, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Clinicians frequently assess and intervene on postural alignment. However, research demonstrating the effects of exercise interventions in moving postural alignment toward an evidence-based standard is lacking. Part of the difficulty in establishing such evidence has been a lack of theory-motivated conceptions of what "good" posture is. In other words, the prevailing understanding of postural alignment is based on the negation of what has been observed to associate with bad outcomes. This study will build upon preliminary findings from our laboratory that define good postural alignment on theoretical grounds. The investigators will measure motion capture and muscle activation patterns during simple postural alignment tasks before and after 1) a corrective exercise intervention, or 2) a control intervention based designed to inhibit superficial muscle tension. The corrective exercise intervention is designed to counteract the natural patterns in which the human skeleton tends to collapse from a standing position under the influence of gravity. The control intervention consists of passive, partner-assisted stretching. Regardless of initial assignment, all participants will crossover (i.e. switch interventions) and repeat the study procedures after a 1-week washout period. Behavioral indicators of movement and nervous system coordination will be used to quantify alignment before and after exercise, as well as the consistency of those alignment patterns with theoretically-defined standards. The knowledge gained from this study will contribute to evidence-based definitions of healthy postural alignment and help identify effective interventions by which clinicians can promote good posture.
