This trial tests whether specific three-dimensional exercises (Schroth method) can improve trunk muscle endurance, sleep quality, and quality of life in adolescents with hyperkyphosis (excessive forward curve of the upper spine). If you have a child between 12 and 18 with a Cobb angle of 45° or more in the upper back, this study may help.
This study looks at how different types of chronic low back pain affect your balance. It uses a special machine called the Biodex Balance System to measure your ability to balance, which may help doctors understand and treat your condition better.
This trial tests whether a special balance exercise program can help reduce long-term low back pain. It is for adults with nonspecific back pain lasting at least 3 months.
This study looks at how the muscles along the spine work in teenagers with scoliosis. It uses special tests to measure muscle activity and spine shape, and may help understand how scoliosis affects back muscles.
This study looks at how weightlifters' posture, body awareness (proprioception), core strength, and balance work together. By testing these areas, the researchers hope to understand how to help weightlifters improve performance and avoid injuries.
This study looks at how making your stomach muscles tired affects how well your hip muscles work and how well you keep your balance. It's for healthy young men and could help understand how muscle fatigue impacts movement and stability.
