Muscle Imbalance

Pregnant women are often burdened with musculoskeletal symptoms of the lower extremity due to the physical, hormonal, and anatomical changes that occur throughout pregnancy. These symptoms are associated with musculoskeletal dysfunctions, modified gait, joint laxity, muscle imbalance, and increased body mass. This article reviews the literature involving the lower-extremity changes experienced by women during pregnancy and their respective pathophysiologic causes.

Current evidence-based and best practice vision screening and eye health approaches, tools, and procedures are the result of revised national guidelines in the past 3 years and advances in research during the last 16 years. To help the busy school nurse with little time to keep up with changes in children’s vision practices and a growing body of literature, the National Center for Children’s Vision and Eye Health at Prevent Blindness is providing answers to 20 questions received most often from the field. Question topics are: (1) arranging the screening environment, (2) occluders to cover the eyes during vision screening, (3) optotype-based screening at distance, (4) optotype-based screening at near, (5) instrument-based screening, (6) muscle imbalance screening, (7) referrals, and (8) vision screening certification.

The Impact

The purpose of the study was to search for and analyze data from modern sources of information on the features of the occurrence and manifestations of pain in the knee joint and approaches to treatment. Materials and methods. The paper presents an analysis and generalization of modern scientific and methodological literature of domestic and foreign authors according to the Internet and Google Scholar service on the peculiarities of arthralgia of the knee joint and concomitant manifestations of this disorder (back pain, posture, etc.). Results and discussion. The article analyzed modern views on the occurrence and development of the process of pain syndrome in the knee joint. Sources on request in the Google Scholar service were analyzed, where the overwhelming majority of publications are described by pain slander and approaches to its treatment after the occurrence of anatomical changes in the structures of bone and soft-wound structures or after surgical interventions. Thus, the prevailing approach is the purpose of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in combination with chondroprotectors. According to the authors of the article, this approach to the treatment of pain in the area of the knee joint does not take into account one of the main components of the occurrence of arthralgia – muscle imbalance, both at the local level of the lower extremities and muscular-fascial chains. According to the theory of muscular chains, the dislocation of bones forming the knee joint leads to uneven loading of the femoral and tibial bones to the metaphizar deposits, which leads to a circulatory disorder and further leads to degenerative-dystrophic diseases. Understanding this component of pathogenesis can give a specialist in physical therapy and ergotherapy a more informed approach to the development of balanced treatment tactics aimed at eliminating the primary causes of pain syndrome. Conclusion. Pain in the knee joint can be caused not only by degenerative-dystrophic changes in the bones, but also can be associated with muscle imbalance of the posterior surface line. The development of a rehabilitation program for knee pain should include not only the use of local remedies, but also take into account the impact on the relevant reflex areas in the spine. Emerging degenerative-dystrophic processes in the bones that are part of the structure of the knee joint can be caused by their dislocation due to muscle imbalance. Uncontrolled and unauthorized use of analgesics by patients with knee pain can smooth the clinical picture and reduce the effectiveness of rehabilitation measures

Objective. In our study, we wanted to identify the number of existing deformities of the spine and posture in primary schoolers. Methods. The sample consisted of 311 healthy pupils aged 6-7. We used Klein, Thomas, and Mayer method to evaluate the posture. The spine curvature was evaluated by plumb line. Muscle imbalance was evaluated by standardized manual tests by Professor Janda. The results were evaluated by the basic population abundance and the use of the ANOVA program. We determined the level of statistical significance at p = 0.05. Results. The statistically significant occurrence of poor posture was found. Poor posture occurred in more than 50% of the pupils studied. Spine deformities in the sagittal plane have exceeded 30% (C = 37.94212%; Th = 32.15434%; L = 30.22508%). In the frontal plane deformities were present in 13.18328% of pupils. Spinae and postural disorders were accompanied by the muscle imbalance (muscle stiffness and weakness). Conclusion. Screening is a well-founded technique for the early detection of spinae and posture disorders. Based on the results of screening, professionals can take preventive measures. As in our research prevalence of spine deformities and poor posture in children was high, we recommend regular screening in clinical practice.
