The effect of oxygen-ozone treatment on posture

Abstract: The way we step, the functioning of the oculomotor muscles, the dental occlusion and the mobility of the temporomandibular joint influence our posture and balance. A dysfunction at one of these levels or the presence of skin scars affects the kinematic chain of movement, generating muscle contractions, decreased joint mobility, vertebral static disorders and, …

Acute Effects of Self-Correction on Spine Deviation and Balance in Adolescent Girls with Idiopathic Scoliosis

Background: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional deformity of spine and trunk with a higher incidence in girls. AIS alters and reduces postural control and balance. Self-correction movement (SCM) is a well-known non-invasive approach to ameliorate spine curve in AIS subjects. Study design and Participants: We conducted an observational study. A total of 38 …

Reliability analysis of an innovative technology for the assessment of spinal abnormalities

Background: Rasterstereography represents a viable alternative as screening tool for the analysis of the spinal abnormalities due to the advantages in comparison with the invasiveness of the radiology. In the last decade, several technologies have been proposed to accomplish with this aim. However, the reliability of such approach is still questioned. Tests were conducted on …

Displacement of Centre of Pressure during Rehabilitation Exercise in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Patients

Background: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is included into the category of pathologies that could affect postural control. Rarely AIS shows symptoms but often compromises the normal positioning of the head, trunk and, more generally, of the limbs in the space. We used a stabilometric platform to evaluate the motor control outcomes during a self-elongation in …

The effects of a calisthenics training intervention on posture, strength and body composition

Background: Calisthenics was a term used to define a generic set of body weight exercises. Such term is now used to define a world wide spread discipline based on body weight and gymnastics exercises. Objective: The aim of this study was to administer a calisthenics training protocol and evaluate its effects on posture, strength and …

Changes in postural sway after a single global postural reeducation session in university students: a randomized controlled trial

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a single session of global postural reeducation (GPR) in postural sway in young adult university students who use data visualization screens. Methods: A randomized controlled trial with 2 parallel groups was performed. Sixty-four subjects were randomized in the experimental group (12 men and …
