“…Therefore, these techniques are expected to be effective in improving spinal abnormalities. One of the studies used manual therapy to treat abnormalities was conducted by Łukasik et al [27]. They compared the effectiveness of MFR techniques with massage therapy on 18 patients (12 females and 6 males) with the upper crossed syndrome.…”

The present research aimed to compare the effect and follow-up of 8-week corrective exercises with and without the myofascial release on the correction of forward shoulder deformity in male students. Methods: A total of 45 male students suffering from abnormal forward shoulder deformity (more than 52-degree) with the Mean±SD age of 22.12±2.88 years, Mean±SD height of 175.44±6.80 cm and Mean±SD weight of 71.21±7.31 kg were selected and randomly assigned in three groups: corrective exercises, combinational exercises (corrective exercises and myofascial release), and control. The exercise groups did the study tasks for eight weeks under the direct observation of the researcher. Before starting the exercises, immediately after the end of the exercises (8 weeks later) and finally, 4 weeks after the completion of the exercises, the subjects' angle of the forward shoulder was measured using a photography method. Then, the collected data were analyzed using the variance analysis tests with repeated measurements and ANCOVA. Results: The results showed that the degree of forward shoulder after eight weeks of exercises in both training groups in the posttest and follow-up test was significantly lower than that in the pretest. The ANCOVA test results also demonstrated that the forward shoulder degree in the corrective exercises group with the myofascial release was significantly lower than that in the corrective exercises group in the posttest and follow-up test (P≤0.05). Conclusion: According to the results, the corrective exercises program with the myofascial release is more effective than the corrective exercises alone in correcting the forward shoulder deformity.

Background: Bruxism is an increasingly prevalent phenomenon that adversely impacts the masticatory system, often being associated with temporomandibular joint disorders. Dental physiotherapy primarily addresses dysfunctions within the temporomandibular joint, as well as pathology within the cervical section and muscles in the craniofacial region, including the supra and infrahyoid muscles.Aims: This study aimed to compare the effects of dental physiotherapy between two groups of patients with bruxism, with one group receiving additional treatment using a Michigan relaxation splint. Material and methods:The study included twenty participants, with one group (n=10) undergoing dental physiotherapy alone (G1), and the second group (n=10) receiving dental physiotherapy along with Michigan relaxation splints (G2). The therapy cycle comprised a total of six visits, occurring twice a week. Therapeutic interventions encompassed fascial work on the face, cervical, sternum, and thorax; deep tissue massage; trigger point development; and post-isometric muscle relaxation. Additionally, patients engaged in the Rocabado exercise program at home. Results:Therapy resulted in significant improvements in active cervical mobility for both groups across various movements (p<0.05), with no statistically significant differences observed between the two groups after therapy (p>0.05). Also, therapy led to significant improvements in mandibular movements for both

“…Any abnormalities in muscle tone can adversely affect the mobility of the cervical segment and thus induce other disorders. Therefore, correct functional diagnosis is crucial to determine the cause, location, and mechanics of the dysfunction, which allows proper planning of therapeutic management [2,3,4].…”

Background: By location, cervical spine pain ranks second only to L-S spine pain. The causes of spinal pain can be many, and we must not forget that they can also be psychosomatic in nature. Aims:This study aimed to evaluate the association of the severity of cervical spine pain with stress intensity and disability in subjects examined during the COVID-19 pandemic. Material and methods:The study involved 47 subjects with a mean age of 34.5 ± 5.9 years. The participants were divided into a study group (24 women and 11 men), subjects characterized by cervical spine pain, and a control group (6 women and 6 men), subjects without pain. The study used a diagnostic survey method using the author's questionnaire augmented by research using the PSS-10 Perceived Stress Scale, the NDI Cervical Disability Index, and the Visual Analogue Scale for Pain (VAS). Abbreviations need to be elaborated on, as here they occur for the first time. Results:The mean value of the PSS-10 in the study group (with pain complaints) was 18.4 points, while in the control group (without pain complaints), the value was lower at 16.1 points. The percentage of subjects characterized by a high stress level was significantly higher in the study group (48.5%) than in the control group (16.6%). The pain level for those in the group identified as representing a low stress level was 2.4. For the group with an average stress level, 2.6, while the highest values -3.8 -were recorded in the group in which the stress level was identified as high. For the study group, the average disability in subjects with low stress intensity was 4.0 ± 2.8, average 5.4 ± 5.6, and high 8.1 ± 3.9. For the control group of subjects with low stress, the intensity was 2.6 ± 2.1, an average of 2.6 ± 1.7, and high 4.0 ± 0.0. Conclusions:The study shows that people with cervical spine pain are more characterized by a high-stress level than those who do not report pain. Those in the high-stress group reported higher cervical spine pain compared to the low-and medium-stress groups. The study also showed that those with higher stress levels have a greater cervical spine disability.
