OBJECTIVE To quantify and compare the forces exerted by scoliosis patients in fiberglass braces during exercises usually prescribed in departments where casts are made. The exercises are intended to increase corrective forces, activate muscles, stimulate ventilation and help the patient psychologically. SETTING Outpatient care. PATIENTS 17 consecutive adolescent patients wearing fiberglass ...

Background & aim: One of the most common causes of back deformities is spinal curve change in the waist. Physical therapy is one of the most common methods for treatment of lordosise and back pain. In the field of corrective exercise, the comparison of Williams and McKenzie’s training findings are small and inconsistent. So, the purpose of this study was to compare the effects of 8 weeks of Wil...

BACKGROUND The question of how to correct and rehabilitate scoliosis remains one of the most difficult problems of orthopaedics. Controversies continue to arise regarding various types of both symmetric and asymmetric scoliosis-specific therapeutic exercises. OBJECTIVE The aim of the present paper was to conduct an electromyographic assessment of functional symmetry of paraspinal muscles duri...

among the deformities of the spine in sagittal plane, kyphosis is one of the most important cases in the study of postural control from the mechanical standpoint because the smallest deviation of upper limb, that is almost 60 percent of total body weight in standing position, causes displacement of body center of mass to forward and finally will causes weaker balance performance in kyphotic ind...

The aim of this study is to examine the effect 8-week corrective exercises applied 12-15 age group basketball players on Functional Movement Screen Test (FMS) and motor skill (MS) score. 65 volunteer children between ages participated in study. were control (CG) (N = 25) who did not do any exercise, that only trained (BG) 20), exercise (CEG) 20) addition training. It divided into 3 groups. Bask...

In overhead exercises, performing the repetitive and high-intensity throwing movements causes to reduce internal rotation range of motion (IR ROM) in dominant shoulder by applying small continuous pressures on glenohumeral joint capsule. This factor can cause scapular dyskinesis (SD) predispose injuries. The purpose this study was investigate effect eight weeks selected corrective exercises SD ...
