“…In guitarists in particular, expiratory movements may have a reduced range of rib excursion not only due to the position of the shoulders (which we found to be extrarotated in this study's subjects), but also due to a guitar belt, commonly used by pop/rock musicians during their performance. In our study, the guitar belt added weight on the subjects' shoulders, further decreasing the movement up and sideward of the chest [29]. Furthermore, in guitarists, the posture of the back (which we found rotated towards the instrument in this study's subjects) may further decrease chest movements [30,31].…”

“…Those postural changes may explain the decrease in SPI and MPT that we found in the guitarists [18,26,28,29,31]; we speculate that the typical "hard" voice of pop/ rock guitarists may be caused in part by the use of the guitar that is able to "stain" the voice and contributes to the typical "raucous sound.

Background and Aim: The impact of body posture on vocal emission is well known. Postural changes may increase muscular resistance in tracts of the phono-articulatory apparatus and lead to voice disorders. This work aimed to assess whether and to which extent body posture during singing and playing a musical instrument impacts voice performance in professional musicians. Subjects and Methods: Voice signals were recorded from 17 professional musicians (pianists and guitarists) while they were singing and while they were singing and playing a musical instrument simultaneously. Metrics were extracted from their voice spectrogram using the Multi-Dimensional Voice Program (MDVP) and included jitter, shift in fundamental voice frequency (sF0), shimmer, change in peak amplitude, noise to harmonic ratio, Voice Turbulence Index, Soft Phonation Index (SPI), Frequency Tremor Intensity Index, Amplitude Tremor Intensity Index, and maximum phonatory time (MPT). Statistical analysis was performed using two-tailed t tests, one-way ANOVA, and χ² tests. Subjects’ body posture was visually assessed following the recommendations of the Italian Society of Audiology and Phoniatrics. Thirty-seven voice signals were collected, 17 during singing and 20 during singing and playing a musical instrument. Results: Data showed that playing an instrument while singing led to an impairment of the “singer formant” and to a decrease in jitter, sF0, shimmer, SPI, and MPT. However, statistical analysis showed that none of the MDVP metrics changed significantly when subjects played an instrument compared to when they did not. Shoulder and back position affected voice features as measured by the MDVP metrics, while head and neck position did not. In particular, playing the guitar decreased the amplitude of the “singer formant” and increased noise, causing a typical “raucous rock voice.” Conclusions: Voice features may be affected by the use of the instrument the musicians play while they sing. Body posture selected by the musician while playing the instrument may affect expiration and phonation.

The chest mobilization exercise in this study was designed to enhance the pulmonary function while increasing the fascia of the neck and chest and the movement of the trunk on the affected side8, 10 ) . The purpose of this study is to compare core stabilization exercise for the improvement of respiration, and chest mobilization exercise through deep muscle strengthening.…”

[Purpose] The main purpose of this study was to compare the effects of core stabilization and chest mobilization exercises on pulmonary function and chest expansion in chronic stroke patients. [Subjects and Methods] Thirty stroke patients were randomly divided into two groups: a core stabilization exercise group (n=15) and a chest mobilization exercise group (n=15). Each exercise was performed 3 times per week for 30 minutes for 4 weeks, and pulmonary function and chest expansion when breathing were measured for both groups. [Results] There were significant increases in both forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume in 1 second before and after intervention. Core stabilization exercise resulted in a significant increase in peak expiratory flow, and significant increases in upper and lower chest expansion were detected with chest mobilization exercise. However, no significant difference was revealed between the two groups. [Conclusion] This study suggested that both exercises were effective in some aspects of pulmonary function while core stabilization can help increase peak expiratory flow and chest mobilization can assist with chest expansion.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the immediate effects of a single massage session on hand grip strength and endurance after isometric exercise in healthy young men under controlled conditions. Methods: A total of 44 healthy young men from a university population participated in the study. They were randomized to receive either massage or passive movement intervention. Hand grip endurance and hand grip strength in both groups were recorded using a Jamar hand grip dynamometer and a digital chronometer before and after the intervention. Statistical analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon, Mann-Whitney, and paired t test as well as independent t test. Results: Pre-and postmean hand grip endurance times for the massage group were 38.4 ± 12 and 46.5 ± 13 seconds (P b .001), and hand grip strength values were 43 ± 5.6 and 45.7 ± 5.3 kg (P = .077). Pre-and postmean hand grip endurance times for the passive movement group were 33 ± 12.3 and 31.9 ± 10.7 seconds (P = .513), and hand grip strength values were 42.8 ± 6 and 42.9 ± 5.6 kg (P = .854). Conclusion: Immediately after 1 session of massage to the forearm and hand, the grip endurance improved in a group of healthy young men. However, passive movement of the upper limb for 1 session did not enhance grip performance.
