Filter by: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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
This study was planned to examine the relationship between the stomatognathic system, spine posture and pelvis symmetry. 91 healthy adolescence were included in the study. For stomatognathic system, temporomandibular range of motion with millimeter ruler, cervical joint range of motion and craniovertebral angle measurement with goniometer, tragus-wall distance measurement with tape measure, kyphosis and lordosis angle measurement with Baseline Bubble Inclinometer®, trunk rotation angle scoliometer for scoliosis, lower extremity length measurements for pelvis symmetry were made using a tape measure.
This study was designed to investigate the effect of clinic pilates exercise in adult patients whith shoulder- neck posture problem. 51 patients with forward head posture(FHP) and rounded shoulder posture(RSP) were included in this study and they were randomly divided into two groups as clinical pilates (group 1, n=26) and classical posture exercises (group 2, n=25). Patients' demographics were recorded. Deep neck fleksor muscle(DNFM) endurance was evaluated by pressure biofeedback unit (PBU). Head, neck and shoulder posture were evaluated with wall- tragus, wall-acromion, tragus-acromion and chin-sternal notch distance. Flexibility for shoulder region was evaluated with back scratch test. The patients were evaluated both before the study and 6 weeks later.
The purpose of this non-randomized controlled study was to investigate the effects of Pilates on posture and physical fitness parameters in 5-6 years old healthy children. As a result of this study, pilates can be applied as an alternative exercise that improves posture and physical fitness in children.
The aim of this study is to investigate whether spinal alignment and spinal mobility have an effect on upper extremity functions in Parkinson's patients. In the light of the data obtained as a result, we think that our study will also contribute to determining the factors that may cause upper limb dysfunctions seen in Parkinson's patients and will guide new treatment-oriented studies to be carried out in the future.
The aim of our study is to compare the effects of functional exercises and posture exercises on lower extremity functions, posture and physical activity in office workers. For this reason, functional exercises will be applied to a group of office workers and posture exercises will be applied to a group, lower extremity functions, posture and physical activity will be evaluated before and after the training.
