“…In addition, if pain develops in the muscles, weakening and atrophy will occur, the ligaments and joints will become stiff, and activity will decrease. A vicious circle of worsening pain repeats by muscle rigidity and sprain 4 ) . Therefore, it is important to maintain mechanical alignment of the trunk muscles to prevent LBP.…”

[Purpose] This study investigated the effect of exhalation exercises on trunk muscle activity and Oswestry Disability Index by inducing trunk muscle activity through increasing intra-abdominal pressure and activating muscles, contributing to spinal stability. [Subjects and Methods] This intervention program included 20 male patients with chronic low back pain. A total of 10 subjects each were randomly assigned to an exhalation exercise group as the experimental group and a spinal stabilization exercise group as the control group. [Results] There were significant differences in the activities of the rectus abdominis, transverse abdominis, external oblique abdominal, and erector spinae muscles as well as in the Oswestry Disability Index within the experimental group. There were meaningful differences in the activities of the rectus abdominis, external oblique abdominal, and erector spinae muscles and in the Oswestry Disability Index within the control group. In addition, there was a meaningful intergroup difference in transverse abdominis muscle activity alone and in the Oswestry Disability Index. [Conclusion] The breathing exercise effectively increased muscle activity by training gross and fine motor muscles in the trunk. Moreover, it was verified as a very important element for strengthening body stability because it both released and prevented low back pain.

“…When the human body is exposed to an unexpected load, muscles have to respond quickly to maintain the body’s balance and posture against the load. It is said that patients with low back pain will have problems with balance and maintaining posture caused by a delayed response time8, 9 ) . In patients with low back pain, wearing an orthosis is considered a method of solving these problems, as it provides mechanical support and psychological stability.…”

[Purpose] This study investigated how types of lumbosacral orthoses applied to patients with chronic lumbar pain affect postural control and low back pain. [Subjects and Methods] Ten subjects were randomly selected and allocated to each a group wearing soft lumbosacral orthoses and a group wearing rigid lumbosacral orthoses. They wore the lumbosacral orthoses for 4 weeks. Pain index and postural control were measured on the first day of wearing lumbosacral orthoses and 4 weeks later. Pain index was evaluated using a visual analogue scale, and postural control was measured using a Balance measurement system. The measurements examined included the overall balance index, anteroposterior balance index, and mediolateral balance index. [Results] There were statistically meaningful within-group differences in all variables, the visual analogue scale, overall balance index, anteroposterior balance index, and mediolateral balance index, in the group wearing soft lumbosacral orthoses. There were meaningful differences in visual analogue scale, overall balance index, and mediolateral balance index in the group wearing rigid lumbosacral orthoses. Furthermore, there was a meaningful difference in anteroposterior balance index between the group wearing soft lumbosacral orthoses and the group wearing rigid lumbosacral orthoses. [Conclusion] The results of the present study showed that wearing soft lumbosacral orthoses was more effective than wearing rigid lumbosacral orthoses.

“…NJF is a relatively new therapeutic technique. It has shown relatively good therapeutic effects in recent clinical applications, especially in the improvement of physical motor function, balance, and pain [19][20][21] . It has a relatively wide range of applications in terms of target populations.…”

We aimed to investigate the changes in the swallowing sounds of healthy adults during neuromuscular joint facilitation treatment using neck patterns. [Participants and Methods] A total of 20 healthy adults (10 males and 10 females; mean age, 29.2 ± 6.3 years) swallowed 10 mL of water four times under three conditions (after the neuromuscular joint facilitation neck-flexion resistance pattern, after the Shaker-type exercise, and during relaxed sitting without prior exercise [control]), randomly ordered with an interval greater than 3 days. Swallowing sounds for each water swallow were recorded using cervical auscultation. [Results] The mean amplitude of swallowing sound intensity and the mean spectral frequency were significantly higher after the neuromuscular joint facilitation neck-flexion resistance pattern and the Shaker-type exercise, in comparison with those in the control group. [Conclusion] Neuromuscular joint facilitation training with the neck-flexion resistance pattern influenced swallowing sounds to the same degree as the Shaker-type exercise, implying that this resistance pattern may enhance suprahyoid muscle contraction.
