“…Individuals with shoulder impingement syndrome were found to have decreased muscle activity in infraspinatus and middle deltoid during scaption compared to controls (Reddy et al , 2000), while patients with symptomatic rotator cuff tear were found to have decreased activity for the deltoid muscle (Shinozaki, Sano, 2014). One of the goals of physiotherapy is to restore optimal muscle recruitment patterns about the shoulder joint (Sahrmann, 2002).…”

“…The non-significant differences of anthropometric characteristics of both male and female Individuals with Anterior and neutral balance types suggest that anterior placement of hip in reference to plumb line is not influenced by these characteristics. If so, this can be also assumed that in contrast to neutral balance strategy which is supposed to be in majority otherwise, prevalence of anterior balance strategy in healthy young adults might be related to weakness of tight muscles of hamstrings, gastrocnemius and hip flexors as a result of adaptive shortening [23][24][25]. Adaptive shortening is often considered with functional overuse.…”

Background and purpose: Associations of a positive sagittal postural imbalance with pain, physical disability and reduced health-related quality of life have emerged as the predictor of clinical symptoms. Limits of postural stability in sagittal standing are set by mechanical factors that include both individual and environmental characteristics. The variability of individual anthropometric characteristics and body dimensions may be considered to affect the selection of motor strategies that people use to maintain standing balance control. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the association of anthropometric characteristics with static sagittal postural balance strategy in healthy young adults Methodology: Total of 239 healthy under graduate collegiate students aged 18-25 years were randomly screened. Individual's anthropometric characteristics were measured in accordance with ISAK standards. The Indices of BMI (Kg/m 2 ), upper body height to lower body height ratio (UBH/LBH ratio); waist to hip circumference ratio (WC/HC ratio); bi-acromial to bi-iliocristal width ratio (BA/BI ratio) were calculated. Static sagittal postural Balance strategy (Anterior; neutral; posterior) was analyzed using lateral postural analysis. Individual anthropometric characteristics were compared among the three types of sagittal postural balance strategy. Results: Gender specific analysis revealed that the anthropometric characteristics like weight (WT); BMI; WC; HC and BI in females are significantly associated with the shift of neutral balance strategy towards the sagittal posterior direction whereas anterior strategy, being most prevalent in both the genders is not associated with any anthropometric characteristics. Conclusions: Higher BMI; weight; biacromial width (BA); waist (WC) and hip circumference (HC) were the significant determinants of sagittal posterior balance strategy among female adults. We suggest that assessment of an individuals anthropometric characteristics and adopted sagittal standing postural strategy in clinical set up can improve the insight in designing the therapeutic strategies by directing the intervention approach towards the modifiable body characteristics.

“…This imbalance can reinforce demand over stronger muscles and minimize demand over weaker ones thus creating a vicious cycle. Based on possible imbalances, Sahrmann 12 has developed a system for the diagnostic classification of muscle impairment syndromes. Treatment approaches aim to reestablish the appropriate balance in muscle activation patterns.…”

Vaz. Motor synergies research in physical therapy 3 con la teoría y los métodos de análisis de datos del UCM. Se estudian las conexiones entre las actividades de la vida diaria y la formación de sinergias motoras para estabilizar los distintos niveles de rendimiento, así como la distribución de la variabilidad de las sinergias, su fuerza y sus ajustes de anticipación. Tras las intervenciones en la rehabilitación también se deben estudiar cambios en los valores de las sinergias. El UCM es un sólido abordaje científico para informar sobre decisiones clínicas a cerca de la necesidad de deshacer, reequilibrarse, crear o fortalecer las sinergias motoras de los pacientes con trastornos de movimiento.Palabras clave | Destreza Motora; Modalidades de Fisioterapia;Revisión.
