The problem of low back pain is visibly increasing. About 80% of the population suffers from low back pain. Recently, the factors that affect lumbar stability have been an area of extensive research. The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of lumbar stabilization exercises program for young women (19-20 years) with low back pain. The following objectives were put forward: to assess stability of lumbar spine of young women before applying exercises program and after 10 weeks of muscular strengthening exercises around the lumbar spine; to evaluate changes in the core muscles before and after specific stabilization exercises and pain assessment. The study included a group of 37 young women (19-20 years), who felt low back pain at least once in their life. All participants were randomly allocated to either training group, which consisted of 20 young women or control group, which consisted of 17 participants. The subjects in the training group attended two supervised 1 hour exercise sessions per week for 10 weeks. A program of special physical exercises to improve core musculature was created for them. The exercise training program required training of deep muscles. In order to retrain the deep muscles, specific and testing with the STABILIZER was required. The control subjects continued their usual physical activities during the week. Both groups were assessed similarly two times: before training began and after it ended.mekis.

SUMMARY The endurance and mobility of spinal muscles in 6-7 year old children The problem of the study: The health of a child depends not only on genetic factors, conditions of life, and nutrition but also on the health education in family, kindergarten and school, on the conditions of hygiene and lifestyle. The training of the posture occupies an important place in contemporary system of health education of preschool and junior school age children. The beginning of posture disorders has to be looked for not in schools. Optimal muscle activity determines the correctness of the posture. The correct posture is formed with the well-timed and adequate assessment of the condition of the muscles, determination of the muscles’ weakness or the reduction of endurance, and adequate training. The aim of the work: To assess the endurance and mobility of spinal muscles in 6-7 year old children. The objectives: 1. To assess the endurance of spinal, abdominal and lateral muscles in 6-7 year old children. 2. To assess the mobility of lateral waist muscles in 6-7 year old children. 3. To assess the endurance of abdominal, spinal, and lateral muscles and the lateral mobility of the spine in boys and girls. 4. To determine the correlative relationship between the endurance of spinal, abdominal and lateral waist muscles and the mobility of the waist. The hypothesis: We claim that the endurance of the flexion of the waist to the left and right sides and the endurance of abdominal... [to full text]

Bakalauro darbe vertinama 8 klasės moksleivių laikysena stovint sagitalinėje ir frontalinėje plokštumose ir stuburo mobilumas/paslankumas. Tyrime dalyvavo vienos Šiaulių progimnazijos 26 aštuntos klasės moksleiviai. Iš jų 10 merginų ir 16 vaikinų. Tyrimas vyko 2013 metų lapkričio 11 – 15 dienomis. Tyrimu buvo siekiama: 1) įvertinti paauglių statinę laikyseną ir stuburo mobilumą naudojant ZEBRIS CM10 WinSpine Pointer diagnostinę įrangą; 2) atskleisti paauglių subjektyvaus sveikatos vertinimo ir fizinio aktyvumo aspektus. Duomenims įvesti ir rezultatams apdoroti buvo naudotas specializuotas duomenų įvedimo ir statistinės analizės programinis paketas SPSS (20 versija). Atlikta statistinė (vidurkių, Mann – Whitney ir Kruskal – Wallis kriterijai) duomenų analizė. Vertinant paauglių laikyseną buvo remtasi mokslininkų (Arcinavičius, 2004; Muckus, 2006; Neumann, 2010; Saniukas, 2007) nurodytomis normomis. Anketa buvo siekiama atskleisti paauglių subjektyvų sveikatos vertinimą ir fizinį aktyvumą, laisvalaikio pomėgius, kurie buvo lyginami su gautais laikysenos vertinimo duomenimis. Taip buvo siekiama atskleisti gyvensenos veiksnių įtaką paauglių laikysenai. Vertinant paauglių laikyseną statinėje padėtyje nustatyta, kad visiems tiriamiesiems yra pečių ir dubens asimetrija. Tyrimo metu buvo nustatyta, kad dviem paaugliams yra skoliozinė deformacija į dešinę pusę ir dviem paaugliams – į kairę pusę. Nustatyta, kad septynių paauglių krūtininė kifozė yra per daug išreikšta. Tai reiškia, kad... [toliau žr. visą tekstą] / In the Bachelor's work is evaluating 8 class pupils’ standing posture in the sagittal and frontal planes and the spine mobility. In the investigation participated 26 eighth class teenagers one of Šiauliai progymnasium, 10 girls and 16 boys. The investigation took place 11 th – 15 th of November, 2013. When conducting the investigation goal was: 1) to evaluate static posture and spine mobility of teenager using ZEBRIS CM10 WinSpine Pointer diagnostic equipment; 2) reveal teenager‘s subjective assessment of health and physical activity aspects. Statistical analysis of results was implemented (means, Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis criterions). Evaluating of teenager posture was based on scientists (Arcinavičius, 2004; Muckus, 2006; Neumann, 2010; Saniukas, 2007) specified rate. Using questionnaire the aim was to reveal teenager‘s subjective assessment of health and physical activity, hobies of leisure witch was correlated with postural data assessment. Thus, it was intended to reveal lifestyle factors on teenagers posture. In evaluating the situation in the static position of teenagers posture found that all teenagers have the asymmetry of shoulder and pelvic. Two teenagers have scoliotic deformation of right side and two teenagers have left side scoliotic deformation. In the investigation was found that seven teenagers have too big thoracic kyphosis that exceed the rate. It means that these pupils have kyphotic posture. The analysis of lateral flexion revealed that no one of... [to full text]
