Körperhaltung und Muskelspannung beeinflussen den Klang der Stimme. Aber gibt es auch einen Zusammenhang zwischen der motorischen Kontrolle der Nacken-, Gesichts- und Kieferregion und der Stimme? Die Pilotstudie mit 12 Sängerinnen ging dieser Frage nach und zeigt: Es ist sinnvoll, die motorische Kontrolle zu testen, wenn Patient*innen mit Stimmproblemen zur Physiotherapie kommen.
Methods: Systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCT). Searches were conducted in five electronic databases. Studies were selected if they included patients with NP over 18 years old treated with aerobic exercise (AE) (e.g., cycling, running, hiking, and walking). The main outcome of interest was pain intensity. Qualitative and quantitative data were extracted. The risk of bias (RoB) was determined using the Cochrane RoB Tool-2 and the overall certainty of the evidence with the GRADE recommendations.
Results: Out of 21,585 initial records screened, a total of six individual studies published in ten manuscripts were included. There was a great heterogeneity between protocols, comparisons, and studies’ results (different magnitudes and directions). When looking at the effect of aerobic exercise versus control groups or other interventions on pain intensity measured with the VAS, not statistically (nor clinical) significant differences between aerobic exercise and control groups (MD [95%CI] 5.16 mm [-6.38, 16.70]) were identified. The combined effect of AE plus other interventions seems to be effective. Strength exercise obtained better effects than aerobic exercises (MD [95%CI]: -11.34 mm [-21.6, -1.09]).
Conclusions: Aerobic exercise presented positive results to reduce pain intensity, and improving disability, and physical and emotional functioning. However, the evidence is restricted, low quality, and heterogeneous.
Methods: The searches were conducted on five electronic databases. RCTs or CTs with patients over 18 years old of both sexes with OFP diagnoses were targeted. The intervention of interest was AE (i.e., walking, cycling, and running), compared to any other conservative and non-conservative therapy. The primary outcome was pain intensity. Risk of bias (RoB) was done with the Cochrane RoB tool (RoB 2). The overall certainty of the evidence was evaluated with GRADE.
Results: Out of 21,585 initial records found in the initial database search, only one study (reported on three manuscripts) was included. The diagnosis of interest was headache plus temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Three treatment groups (strengthening (Str) exercise + manual therapy (MT) (G1); AE + MT + Str exercises (G2); AE (G3)) were compared. The main outcome was pain; the secondary outcomes included disability, strength, anxiety, and quality of life. The combined treatment (AE+MT+Str exercises) had the strongest effect to decrease pain and headache intensity in patients with OFP (SMD: 9.99 [95%CI: 7.19, 12.80].
Conclusions: a multimodal treatment strategy achieved the greatest positive effects on pain and other outcomes in the short/medium term. AE seems to be an important component of this strategy. However, the scientific evidence supporting AE’s isolated effect is limited, indicating a research gap in this scientific field.
Introduction
Observations show that foam rolling improves joint movements. Likewise, it can be stated that a vibration stimulation of the tissue leads to improved joint mobility.
Method
This study investigates whether the combination of foam rolling and vibrations (31 Hz) can influence the sliding of the thoracolumbar fascia more effectively than normal foam rolling. 45 subjects participated in the study and were divided into a foam roll with additional vibration group (FRV), a foam roll group (FR) and a control group (CG). The intervention groups rolled out the gluteal muscles, the lateral trunk and the upper and lower back. Mobility measures were taken pre and post the respective intervention. Subsequent cross correlation software analysis quantified the sliding of the fascia and calculated its shear strain mobility (SSM).
Results
The sliding of the thoracolumbar fascia improved significantly within the FRV by 2.83 mm (SD ± 1.08/p < .001), in the FR by 0.96 mm (SD ± 0.43/p < .001) and in the CG decreased the sliding by 0.1401 mm (SD ± 0.28/p = .076). The fascia/fascia SSM increased in the FRV by 22.61% (SD ± 15.64/p < .001), in the FR by 11.41% (SD ± 20.38/p = .056) and in the CG decreased the SSM by 0.9473% (SD ± 11.35/p < .751). The lumbar movement increased in both intervention groups, but showed no significant result.
Conclusion
The use of a foam roll with additional vibration and standard intervention have increased thoracolumbar fascia sliding and lumbar movements. The improved shear strain mobility can be attributed to the multi-activity of mechanoreceptors, such as Pacini- and Ruffini-Bodies.
Seit Jahren schon hat Sarah J. das Gefühl, immer müder und weniger belastbar zu werden. Selbst im Garten schafft sie kaum noch was. Liegt es wirklich nur am Verlust ihres Mannes? Zunehmende Zahn- und Kieferschmerzen und Schmerzen im Thorax führen sie zur Physiotherapie. Dort rückt eine andere Vermutung in den Fokus.
Bruxismus ist keine Krankheit, sondern ein Sammelbegriff für Parafunktionen wie Zähnepressen oder Knirschen. Um Begleitsymptome des Bruxismus zu beeinflussen, ist eine Untersuchung des orofazialen und kraniozervikalen Systems sinnvoll. Die gefundenen auffälligen Zeichen leiten die Therapeuten in der muskuloskelettalen Therapie, die aus Hands-on und -off-Techniken besteht.
„Hands-on!“ heißt der Schwerpunkt dieser Ausgabe der MSK, in der Hands-on/Hands-off- Herangehensweisen debattiert werden. Arne Vielitz und Dr. Claus Beyerlein, beide Herausgeber der MSK, baten daher Vertreter/-innen der 5 Mitglieder der Dachorganisation OMT-Deutschland um ein Statement zu folgenden Fragen: Was beinhaltet die muskuloskelettale Physiotherapie für Sie? Wie sieht eine gelungene/zeitgemäße praktische Umsetzung/Anwendung aus? Wie sehen Sie die muskuloskelettale Physiotherapie in der Zukunft? Wo geht die Reise hin?
Die Statements der 5 auf diese Fragen sind in alphabetischer Reihenfolge geordnet.
