Forward head posture (FHP), which is defined as a forward displacement of the on cervical spine, common postural disorder. It suggested that this malalignment alters loads affects length-tension relationship in muscles, and changes muscle activation. Therefore, aim review to investigate results studies examination exerted by FHP Although there are many methods used assess FHP, no standard clinical method for accurate measurement angle. Photographic most widely used, valid, reliable...

Background and Purpose: Anatomical biomechanical differences between male female are also known to cause in gait patterns. However, the results of studies contradictory. Furthermore, these focused only on some spatiotemporal parameters, pelvic movements were not analyzed. The aim present study is reveal difference parameters female. Methods: 44 39 males included study. BTS G-Walk system was used evaluate gait. After accelerometer placed, participants asked walk 8 m. Spatiotemporal kinematics...

Purpose: Whole Body Vibration (WBV) is a practice that passively applies mechanical oscillations to an individual from support surface. The tonic vibration reflex response depends on the localization, frequency, amplitude, and initial length of muscle, but there no consensus what optimal frequency should be. This study was conducted examine activation differences lower extremity muscles at low high frequencies during squat exercise WBV. Methods: involved 16 healthy individuals (Age = 23.66 ±...

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries cause mechanoreceptor loss in the joint; therefore, proprioceptive deficits are observed after injury. In particular, measurements made functional position give more accurate results, and this is an area that requires further studies. This study aimed to evaluate proprioception patients who had undergone ACL reconstruction (ACLR) positions used daily life (closed kinetic chain position), according joint angles where occur frequently, comparison with...
