Postural Changes

This study was designed to. examine the effect of posture on forced expiration as reflected in phasic electromyographic activity in accessory expiratory muscles in tetraplegic subjects with complete lesions between the fifth and eight cervical segments. In order to determine the effect of posture on the action of the clavicular head of the pectoralis major muscle and the latissimus dorsi muscle during forced expiration, the subjects were studied in two test positions, support sitting and supine lying.Electromyographic examination of the above mentioned muscles in eight tetraplegic subjects showed changes in electrical activity in the clavicular portion of the pectoralis major muscle when the subjects were studied in the supine position. Four out of eight subjects showed evidence of an increase in EMG activity in the supine lying position. When the muscle was tested with the patient in the supported sitting position it failed to demonstrate a significant increase in electromyographic activity during forced expiration.We concluded therefore that the role of the clavicular portion of the pectoralis major muscle during expiration in tetraplegia is posture dependent. These findings have important therapeutic implications: specific training programmes to increase the strength and endurance of this muscle should be conducted with the subject in the correct position. The action of the latissimus dorsi muscle was not significantly influenced by the postural changes during forced expiration.

Background and Objective: Altered Pattern of the Global Muscle system is presented in literature among individuals with sacroiliac Joint Dysfunctions. However, the pattern of changes in the Latissimus dorsi (LD) and gluteal maximus (GM) among sacroiliac joint dysfunctions (SIJD) is not reported. This study aimed to investigate the changes in the resting muscle thickness of the Latissimusdorsi and gluteal maximus in SIJD. Method: A total of 88 subjects (44 individuals with SIJD and 44 healthy individuals as matched control) was included in this study. The resting thickness of the Latissimusdorsi and gluteal maximus was measured using real time musculoskeletal ultrasonography and data was compared between the ipsilateral side and contra lateral side among subjects with SIJD as well as healthy subjects. Independent sample t test was used to analyze the data by using SPSS version-25. Results: The results showed that contralateral LD were reduced significantly among subjects with SIJD when compared with the other side and with control. It also showed that ipsilateral IO, TrA and GM were reduced significantly among subjects with SIJD when compared with the controls and with contralateral side. Conclusion: The reduced resting muscle thickness showed an altered motor pattern of Deep Muscles of local system and Gross muscles of global system among patients with sacroiliac joint dysfunction. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.35.3.62 How to cite this:Bashir MS, Noor R, Hadian MR, Olyaei G.

Low Back

In recent years, sacroiliac syndrome has been widely accepted by many different health professions as one of the major contributors to low back pain. Manipulation to effect the relief of the condition has thus far proven to be one of the most effective methods. Comparatively little research has however been done on the different forms of physical therapy that can be used in conjunction with a manipulation so as to maximise its affect
