Oscillatory stimulation provides strong sensory stimulation, which can activate muscle spindles, strengthening proprioceptive sense and, therefore, helping to strengthen the muscles involved in posture stability.
This study aimed to investigate the difference in average distribution of plantar pressure resulting from changes in the forward head position (FHP) angle caused by controlling muscle activity in the neck and shoulders through Bodyblade.
The subjects were divided into an experimental group (Bodyblade, n= 15) and a control group (general physiotherapy, n= 15). Eighteen sessions of exercise were implemented. Craniovertebral angle (CVA) and cranial rotation angle (CRA) were measured to evaluate the change of FHP. The Gaitview AFA-50 (Alfoots Co, Korea) was used to measure the plantar pressure distribution.
The experimental group showed a larger increase in CVA than the control group (p< 0.05). Only the experimental group showed a significant decrease in CRA (p< 0.05).Both the anterior pressure and posterior pressure showed a significant improvement only in the experimental group (p< 0.05). The experimental group showed a larger increase in anterior/posterior ratio than the control group (p< 0.05).
Bodyblade improves the angle of FHP, thus positively affecting the average ratio of plantar pressure.
振荡刺激提供强烈的感觉刺激,可激活肌梭,增强本体感觉,从而有助于增强参与姿势稳定性的肌肉。
本研究旨在探讨通过Bodyblade控制颈部和肩部肌肉活动所引起的头部前倾位置(FHP)角度变化导致的足底压力平均分布差异。
将受试者分为实验组(使用Bodyblade,n = 15)和对照组(常规物理治疗,n = 15)。进行了18节训练课程。测量颅椎角(CVA)和颅骨旋转角(CRA)以评估FHP的变化。使用Gaitview AFA - 50(韩国Alfoots公司)测量足底压力分布。
实验组的CVA增加幅度大于对照组(p < 0.05)。仅实验组的CRA有显著降低(p < 0.05)。前后压力仅在实验组有显著改善(p < 0.05)。实验组的前后压力比增加幅度大于对照组(p < 0.05)。
Bodyblade改善了FHP角度,从而对足底压力的平均比率产生积极影响。
