Patients and methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted with 30 community-dwelling older adults (26 females, 4 males; mean age: 73.7±6.0 years; range, 65 to 88 years) with a high fall risk identified by the Thai falls risk assessment test between November 2018 and May 2019. Data from the 10-m walk test at a comfortable gait speed (CGS) and fast gait speed (FGS), timed up and go (TUG) test, five times sit to stand test (FTSST), and six-min walk test (6MWT) were collected twice for each participant. The interval between test sessions was one week. Test-retest reliability was analyzed by the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Standard error of measurement (SEM) and MDC at the 95% confidence interval (MDC 95) were also calculated.

The subjects were involved in a Thai dance exercise program on each surface, according to their groups, for 50 min/day, 3 days/week, for 6 weeks. The functional outcomes were assessed prior to training, at Week 3, and Week 6 after training. Subjects showed a significant improvement in all functional tests at 3 and 6 weeks after training, particularly in those who were trained on a sand surface and a soft surface (7–30% improvement,p < .05). The improvement was especially demonstrated in the complex and demanding motor activities after exercise on a soft and sand surface. Aside from attempting to modify training programs on a hard surface, the current findings suggest an alternative and cost-effective program to promote the levels of independence and safety that ca...

Methods: Fifty two patients with scapulocostal syndrome (5 males, 47 females) were recruited in this study. They were divided into two groups by stratified block random allocation. Usual care of physical therapy (hot pack and ultrasound) and sham manual therapy were applied for control group. Usual care of physical therapy and mART technique were applied for the experimental group. Each group was received 3 times per week of treatment within 3 weeks. Pain intensity, average intensity of pain within 24 hours, pressure pain threshold, and cervical and shoulder range of motion were investigated before and after first treatment and one day after last treatment. Paired samples t-test was used to determine significant difference within group. ANCOVA was used to evaluate significant difference between groups, using a pre-test as a covariate variable. Results: Results showed the reduction of pain intensity and average intensity of pain within 24 hours, increasing of pressure pain threshold, cervical and shoulder range of motion in both groups when compared within group (p<0.05) before and after first treatment and one day after last treatment. However, the outcome measurements in experimental group were shown significant difference compared to control (p<0.05). Conclusion: The mART with usual care of physical therapy showed immediate and short term effects for pain reduction and improvement of cervical and shoulder range of motion in patients with scapulocostal syndrome.

Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 164 patients with upper back pain (85 with SCS and 79 without SCS). Participants were evaluated for strength of abdominal muscles by the double leg lowering test (DLLT) and a pressure biofeedback unit (PBU), whereas strength of scapular muscles was tested by a hand held dynamometer. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was used to analyze the correlation between strength of abdominal muscles and scapular muscles. Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare abdominal and scapular muscles strength between upper back pain patients with and without SCS. Results: In DLLT, moderate correlation was found between strength of abdominal muscles and upper trapezius, and left serratus anterior muscles (r =-0.503 to-0.608, p<0.001), whereas, low correlation was found between strength of abdominal muscles and right serratus anterior, and rhomboid muscles (r =-0.493 to-0.499, p<0.001). Muscles strength evaluated by PBU showed moderate correlation between strength of abdominal muscles and rhomboid, serratus anterior, and right upper trapezius muscles (r = 0.522 to 0.569, p<0.001). Meanwhile, low correlation was shown between strength of abdominal muscles and left upper trapezius muscles (r= 0.498, p<0.001). Moreover, strength of muscles in upper back pain patients with SCS was lower significantly compared to upper back pain patients without SCS. The affected muscles consisted of abdominal muscles, upper trapezius, serratus anterior, and rhomboid muscles (p<0.001). However, there was no significant differences of the strength of middle and lower trapezius muscles in both groups.

It is a focal area or nodule within the affected muscle. It presents localized pain and referred pain to other areas of the body when compression or tension is applied to the affected trigger point. Complex pathogenesis according to trigger involved various functions of organ system, i.e. nervous and musculoskeletal system. This review article provides knowledge of muscle physiology, integrated hypothesis for initiation and persistence of trigger points, and several of reports of current trigger point’s therapies.

This problem can disturb patients’ resting time and in some cases, it impedes the patients from their normal activities due to limitation of shoulder movements. The aim of this study was to determine the immediate effect of pulley exercise on range of motion of shoulder joint in diabetes patients with frozen shoulder. Cross-over design was selected thirty volunteers, 10 males and 20 females aged 58.47±9.64 years participated in this study. The volunteers were randomly divided into two groups. Group one received first treatment by the application of hot pack only and for the second treatment, the hot pack was used together with the pulley exercise. Group two received treatment through the application of hot pack plus pulley exercise for the first treatment and of hot pack only for the second treatment. The interval between the first and second treatments was a week. The shoulder’s range of motions; flexion, abduction, internal r...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of treadmill running to total range of lumbar flexion and lumbar extension between novices and experienced runners. Ten novices and ten experienced healthy male runners, aged between 20 and 39 years. Each subject was measured their spinal range of motion in total lumbar flexion and total lumbar extension using an inclinometer, before and after a period of intervention. Each subject was asked to run on the treadmill for 30 minutes. The findings showed that range of motion in total lumbar flexion was significantly increased after performing the treadmill running in both groups (P < 0.001, P = 0.03), however there was no * iA“∫—≥±‘μ A≈—° Ÿμ√«‘∑¬“»“ μ√iA“∫—≥±‘μ “¢“«‘TM“°“¬?“ae∫”∫—¥ §≥–‡∑§π‘§°“√·ae∑¬a iA“«‘∑¬“≈—¬¢Oπ·°aπ ** √Os»“ μ√“®“√¬a °≈yai«‘®—¬a«¥A≈—s a«¥§O ·≈–a«¥¢âOO◊EπE §≥–‡∑§π‘§°“√·ae∑¬a iA“«‘∑¬“≈—¬¢Oπ·°aπ *** oŸâTMa«¬»“ μ√“®“√¬a °≈yai«‘®—¬a«¥A≈—s a«¥§O ·≈–a«¥¢âOO◊EπE §≥–‡∑§π‘§°“√·ae∑¬a iA“«‘∑¬“≈—¬¢Oπ·°aπ 42 «“√ “√«‘®—¬ i¢.

Loss of function of lumbar spine is an essential problem for the back pain patient. Manual therapists sometimes select the technique of postero-anterior pressure (PA) to gain range in lumbar movements. Objectives : To measure the effect of postero-anterior pressure technique on lumbar spine movement in lumbar disc herniation Design : An experimental study Setting : Srinagarind Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, Khon Kaen University Subjects and Methods : Forty patients who were diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation by Orthopaedics and Radiologists. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to a gold standard for diagnoses. Subjects were randomly assigned to a treatment or control group. The treatment group received both the lumbar traction and the postero-anterior pressures technique. The control group received only the lumbar traction. Measurements : The measurements consists of pain scale using the visual analogue, trunk movement and straight leg raising (SLR) using the inclinometer. Results : A Mann-Whitney U-test and Generalized Estimating Equation (GEE) revealed no significant difference between groups in the pain level. A repeated measure ANOVA no showed no significant difference between groups both trunk movements and SLR degrees. Even though, the results of the pain scale, the trunk movements and the SLR in the treatment group were not found to be significant difference from the control group but there were a tendency. Conclusion : This study is the first study providing support for the use of postero-anterior
