“…To assess changes in body composition the components BM, SMM, and FM in kilogram as well as the TBW, the ICW and ECW in liter were analyzed. Accuracy and test-retest reliability for body composition estimations have previously been reported (Lukaski et al, 1986;Lukaski and Bolonchuk, 1988;Kim and Kim, 2013;Legerlotz et al, 2018). Diferences between the postpartum measures and the non-pregnant controls were analyzed using an independent samples t-test.…”

While impairments in balance already occurred early in pregnancy before body mass significantly increased, they were subtle and only measurable in exacerbated conditions. This challenges the assumed necessity of balance enhancing interventions in pregnant women. Although the MSB significantly affected body posture, the magnitude of the LoS improvement using the MSB was very small. Thus, it remains debatable if the MSB is a meaningful tool to increase balance during pregnancy.

While the incidence of falls has been described to increase with pregnancy, the mechanism behind this is unclear. Pregnancy associated changes in lower extremity muscle strength could be a possible factor influencing injury risk. Thus, the aim of this longitudinal study was to investigate muscle strength and architectural properties of the lower limbs in different stages of pregnancy and postpartum. In nineteen pregnant women (30 ± 4 years) and fifteen non-pregnant controls (28 ± 4 years) muscle strength and architectural properties of the vastus lateralis muscle were assessed combining dynamometry, ultrasound, kinematic, and electromyographic measurements. Body mass and body composition were determined using bioimpedance analysis. In the pregnant women, the measurements were conducted in the 16 ± 4th (EP) and 29 ± 4th week of pregnancy (LP) as well as in the 32 ± 9th week postpartum (PP). Muscle thickness and pennation angle of the fascicles significantly increased at LP, while muscle strength remained constant during and after pregnancy. Body mass, skeletal muscle mass, fat mass, intracellular and extracellular water also peaked at LP. Postpartum values did not differ from the controls. Changes in the muscle properties were not related to changes in body mass and body composition. Conditions during pregnancy promote changes in the vastus lateralis architecture indicating muscle hypertrophy. However, pregnancy did not increase muscle strength while body mass progressively increases. Therefore, in the event of balance perturbations pregnant women may not be able to meet the requirements for the increased physical demand.

“…This enhancement in the upward rotation of the scapula occurred due to the enhancement in central and peripheral recognition of scapular motion. The central mechanism was explained by Kaya[ 14 ] and Eriksson[ 15 ]. They found that proprioceptive training improves proprioceptive feedback by modifying muscle spindle mechanisms and stimulating plastic corrections in the central nervous system (CNS).…”

BACKGROUND Frozen shoulder (FS) is a familiar disorder. Diabetics with FS have more severe symptoms and a worse prognosis. Thus, this study investigated the influence of enhancing dynamic scapular recognition on shoulder disability and pain in diabetics with FS. CASE SUMMARY A Forty-five years-old male person with diabetes mellitus and a unilateral FS (stage II) for at least 3 mo with shoulder pain and limitation in both passive and active ranges of motion (ROMs) of the glenohumeral joint of ≥ 25% in 2 directions participated in this study. This person received dynamic scapular recognition exercise was applied to a diabetic person with a unilateral FS (stage II). The main outcome measures were upward rotation of the scapula, shoulder pain and disability index, and shoulder range of motion of flexion, abduction, and external rotation. The dynamic scapular exercise was performed for 15 min/session and 3 sessions/wk lasted for 4 wk. After 4 wk of intervention, there were improvements between pre-treatment and post-treatment in shoulder pain, shoulder pain and disability index, shoulder ROM, and upward rotation of the scapula. CONCLUSION This case report suggested that enhancing dynamic scapular recognition may improve shoulder pain and disability; upward rotation of the scapula; and shoulder ROM of shoulder abduction, flexion, and external rotation after 4 wk.
