Background and purpose: Restricted dorsiflexion range of motion (DFROM) could impact dynamic balance in sports. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between dorsiflexion range of motion and the Y-Balance Test (YBT) in elite futsal players.

Methods: Sixty-one asymptomatic male futsal players (mean age 26.57 (5.64) years, a mean body mass index of 25.40 (2.69) kg/m2 ) were included. DFROM was measured by the weight-bearing lunge test (WBLT). DFROM data were obtained using smartphone-based motion capture. The Pearson correlation coefficient verified the correlation between the variables.

Results: Dominant and nondominant leg ankle DFROM was significantly correlated with the anterior component of YBT (r = 0.27 and 0.51, respectively). The posteromedial component and the composite score of the YBT were also significantly correlated with nondominant leg ankle DFROM (r = 0.31 and 0.34, respectively)]. The other measures were not statistically significant. DFROM explained between 7% and 24% of the variation of the distances reached in the YBT.

Conclusion: Dorsiflexion range of motion measured by weight bearing lunge test is positively correlated with dynamic balance in futsal players.

背景与目的:限制性背屈运动范围(DFROM)可能影响运动的动态平衡。本研究旨在探讨优秀五人制足球运动员背屈运动范围与Y平衡测试(YBT)的关系。方法:纳入61名无症状男性五人制五人制足球运动员(平均年龄26.57(5.64)岁,平均体重指数为25.40(2.69)kg/m2)。DFROM通过负重弓步测试(WBLT)进行测量。DFROM数据是使用基于智能手机的运动捕捉获得的。Pearson相关系数验证了变量之间的相关性。结果:显性和非显性踝关节DFROM与YBT前部成分显著相关(r分别为0.27和0.51)。YBT的后内侧分量和综合评分也与非显性腿踝DFROM显著相关(分别为r=0.31和0.34)]。其他指标没有统计学意义。DFROM解释了YBT中7%到24%的距离变化。结论:采用负重弓步测试法测得的背屈动作幅度与五人制五人制足球运动员的动态平衡呈正相关。

Background: In May 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) added burn out to the list of occupational phenomena in the 11th Revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11). Soon thereafter, in March 2020, a global pandemic of SARS-COV-2 was declared.

Objective: To investigate the interplay between transformational leadership, a proactive personality, employee proactive behaviors, and burn out in the field of physiotherapy during the SARS-COV-2 pandemic.

Methods: Physiotherapists working at the Meuhedet Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) were asked to fill an online cross-sectional survey, in which they were asked to evaluate the transformational behavior of their manager and to assess their own burn out rate, degree of self-efficacy, proactive personality, and proactive behaviors. Eighty-one physical therapists (average age of 37.3 years (SD = 9.0)) responded to the survey, most of whom were female (67.9%, n = 55).

Results: Transformational leadership and proactive personality were negatively associated with occupational burn out (β = -0.231, p < 0.05, β = -0.243, p < 0.05, respectively) among physiotherapists. The effect of the interaction between transformational leadership and proactive personality on proactive behaviors at work was not significant. However, a strong, significant positive relationship was found between proactive personality and proactive behaviors (β = 0.425, p < 0.001), and between self-efficacy and proactive behaviors (β = 0.479, p < 0.001).

Conclusions: This up-to-date survey of transformational leadership and proactive personality among physiotherapists highlights these traits' important impact on burn out and proactive behaviors during the SARS-COV-2 pandemic. Furthermore, the transformational manager plays an important role in reducing burnout levels among physiotherapists, especially during a crisis such as the SARS-COV-2 pandemic.

背景:2019年5月,世界卫生组织(世界卫生组织)在《国际疾病分类》(ICD-11)第11次修订版中将烧伤列入职业现象清单。此后不久,即2020年3月,严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒2型全球大流行被宣布。目的:研究在严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒2型疫情期间,在物理治疗领域,变革型领导、积极主动的个性、员工积极主动的行为和倦怠之间的相互作用。方法:在Meuhedet健康维护组织(HMO)工作的物理治疗师被要求填写一份在线横断面调查,在该调查中,他们被要求评估经理的转变行为,并评估自己的倦怠率、自我效能感、积极主动的个性和积极主动的行为。81名物理治疗师(平均年龄37.3岁(SD=9.0))对调查做出了回应,其中大多数是女性(67.9%,n=55)。结果:转变型领导和积极主动的个性与职业倦怠呈负相关(β=-0.231,p结论:这项关于理疗师转型领导力和积极主动个性的最新调查强调了这些特质对严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒2型疫情期间的倦怠和积极主动行为的重要影响。此外,转型管理者在降低理疗师的倦怠水平方面发挥着重要作用,尤其是在e严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒2型大流行。

Background and purpose: The therapeutic relationship is a central component for developing person-centered care within physiotherapy services. However, it is necessary to understand how this relationship is perceived by both parties involved. The Person Centered Therapeutic Relationship-Patient scale (PCTR-PT) was constructed to identify patients' perceptions. No instruments are currently available to correlate patients' and physiotherapists' perceptions of the therapeutic relationship. This study sought to adapt the PCTR-PT to develop a version for physiotherapists, the Person Centered Therapeutic Relationship Scale for Physiotherapists (PCTR-PHYS) and to determine its psychometric properties.

Methods: A three-stage study was performed: (1) item generation, (2) pretesting of the questionnaire, (3) analysis of psychometric properties. Factor validity and psychometric properties were analyzed by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Convergent validity was calculated. Internal consistency was verified using the Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to examine temporal stability.

Results: Thirty-three physiotherapists participated in two rounds of cognitive interviews and 343 participated in the analysis of psychometric properties. The CFA confirmed the four-structure model. Reliability of the tool was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha (α = 0.863) for all four dimensions, as all were above 0.70, ranging from 0.704 (relational bond) and 0.898 (therapeutic communication). Test-retest was performed with 2-week intervals, indicating an appropriate stability for the scale (ICC = 0.908).

Discussion: The Person Centered Therapeutic Relationship Scale for Physiotherapists is a useful, valid and applicable instrument to evaluate the person-centered therapeutic relationship during physiotherapy interventions. It will enable the comparison of patients' and physiotherapists' perceptions. To provide person-centered care in physiotherapy services, there is a clear need to incorporate specific resources into clinical practice to evaluate the quality of the therapeutic relationship from the perspective of both the persons being treated and the professionals providing care.

背景和目的:治疗关系是在理疗服务中发展以人为中心的护理的核心组成部分。然而,有必要了解双方是如何看待这种关系的。构建了以人为中心的治疗关系患者量表(PCTR-PT)来识别患者的感知。目前没有任何仪器可以将患者和理疗师对治疗关系的看法联系起来。本研究试图调整PCTR-PT,为理疗师开发一个版本,即以人为中心的理疗师治疗关系量表(PCTR-PHYS),并确定其心理测量特性。方法:分三个阶段进行研究:(1)项目生成,(2)问卷预测试,(3)心理测量特性分析。采用验证性因素分析(CFA)对因子有效性和心理测量特性进行分析。计算收敛有效性。使用Cronbachα系数验证内部一致性。组内相关系数(ICC)用于检查时间稳定性。结果:33名物理治疗师参加了两轮认知访谈,343名物理治疗师参与了心理测量特性的分析。终审法院确认了四结构模式。Cronbachα(α=0.863)证实了该工具在所有四个维度上的可靠性,因为所有维度都在0.70以上,范围从0.704(关系纽带)到0.898(治疗沟通)。每隔2周进行一次测试-重新测试,表明该量表具有适当的稳定性(ICC=0.908)。讨论:物理治疗师的以人为中心的治疗关系量表是一种有用、有效和适用的工具,可用于评估物理治疗干预期间以人为主的治疗关系。它将能够比较患者和理疗师的看法。为了在理疗服务中提供以人为中心的护理,显然需要将特定资源纳入临床实践,从接受治疗的人和提供护理的专业人员的角度评估治疗关系的质量。

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common progressive neurodegenerative disorder. Exercise protocols are promising interventions to improve PD symptoms, however, the best modality and its neural correlates are still unknown.

Objectives: To evaluate the effects of the aerobic, strength and task-oriented upper-limb exercises in motor function, manual dexterity, and brain oscillations of individuals with PD.

Method: In this clinical trial, 44 PD patients aged 40-80 years will be randomized in four groups: aerobic training (AT), strength training (ST), task-oriented training (TOT), and waiting list group (CG). The AT group will perform 30 min of a cycle ergometer on 50%-70% of the reserve heart rate. The ST group will use equipment for upper limb muscles and will perform two series of 8-12 repetitions for each exercise, and intensity between 50% and 70% of one maximum repetition will be used. The TOT group will perform a program consisting of three activities to enhance reaching, grasping, and manipulation. All the groups will perform three sessions per week for 8 weeks. We will use the UPDRS Motor function section, Nine-Hole Peg Test, and quantitative electroencephalography to measure motor function, manual dexterity, and brain oscillations, respectively. ANOVA and regression models will be used to compare outcomes within and between groups.

背景:帕金森病(PD)是第二常见的进行性神经退行性疾病。运动方案是改善帕金森病症状的有希望的干预措施,然而,最佳方式及其神经相关性仍然未知。目的:评价有氧、力量和任务导向上肢训练对帕金森病患者运动功能、手巧和大脑振荡的影响。方法:在本临床试验中,44名40-80岁的帕金森病患者将被随机分为四组:有氧训练(AT)、力量训练(ST)、任务导向训练(TOT)和等待名单组(CG)。AT组将在储备心率的50%-70%下进行30分钟的循环测力计。ST组将使用上肢肌肉设备,每次锻炼将进行两系列8-12次重复,强度在一次最大重复的50%至70%之间。TOT小组将执行一个由三项活动组成的程序,以增强伸手、抓握和操纵能力。所有小组将在8周内每周进行三次训练。我们将使用UPDRS运动功能部分、九孔钉测试和定量脑电图分别测量运动功能、手巧和大脑振荡。方差分析和回归模型将用于比较组内和组间的结果。

Background: Physiotherapists had faced a new healthcare scenario characterised by the restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Purpose: To explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the physiotherapy profession from the perspective of physiotherapists working in the public and private sectors.

Methods: Qualitative study based on semi-structured personal interviews with 16 physiotherapists working in public, private, or public-private partnership sectors in Spain. The data were collected between March and June 2020. Inductive qualitative content analysis was performed.

Results: The participants (13 women, 3 men; aged 24-44 years) had professional experience in diverse healthcare settings (primary, hospital, home, consultations, insurance companies, associations). Five categories were identified: (1) the impact of lockdown on the health of physiotherapy users; (2) managing the demand for physiotherapy services during lockdown; (3) introducing protocols and protective measures in physiotherapy consultations; (4) changes in therapeutic approaches; and (5) future expectations in the physiotherapy care model. Physiotherapists perceived that lockdown caused a decline in the functionality of people with chronic conditions, together with a reduction in the physiotherapy services. Difficulties in prioritising users considered urgent became evident, and the inclusion of prophylactic measures affected treatment duration differently depending on the care setting and the pandemic prompted the use of telerehabilitation.

Discussion: The pandemic affected the functional status of chronic physiotherapy users and made treatment time, quality of care and triage protocols visible. In physiotherapy, technological barriers need to be solved, such as digital literacy, families without resources, situations of dependency and cultural barriers.

背景:物理治疗师面临着一种新的医疗保健情景,其特点是新冠肺炎大流行造成的限制。目的:从公共和私营部门理疗师的角度探讨新冠肺炎大流行对理疗师职业的影响。方法:基于对西班牙公共、私营或公私合作部门的16名物理治疗师的半结构化个人访谈的定性研究。这些数据是在2020年3月至6月期间收集的。进行归纳定性内容分析。结果:参与者(13名女性,3名男性;年龄24-44岁)在不同的医疗机构(初级、医院、家庭、咨询、保险公司、协会)有专业经验。确定了五类:(1)封锁对理疗使用者健康的影响;(2) 在封锁期间管理对理疗服务的需求;(3) 在理疗咨询中引入协议和保护措施;(4) 治疗方法的改变;以及(5)物理治疗护理模式的未来期望。物理治疗师认为,封锁导致慢性病患者的功能下降,同时物理治疗服务减少。优先考虑被认为紧急的用户的困难变得显而易见,预防措施的纳入对治疗持续时间的影响因护理环境的不同而不同,而疫情促使使用远程康复。讨论:新冠疫情影响了慢性理疗使用者的功能状态,并使治疗时间、护理质量和分诊方案变得显而易见。在理疗方面,需要解决技术障碍,如数字素养、没有资源的家庭、依赖情况和文化障碍。

Background and purpose: Evidence-based practice (EBP) has been widely implemented in different areas of biomedical sciences. However, no precedents in Argentina have investigated the data regarding the knowledge and difficulties related to EBP in physiotherapists. The purpose was to describe the self-reported behavior, knowledge, skills, opinion, and barriers related to the EBP of Argentinian physiotherapists.

Methods: A customized descriptive survey was conducted among 289 physical therapists in Argentina. The data were analyzed descriptively.

Results: The response rate was 56% (163/289). Argentinian physiotherapists update themselves through scientific articles, meetings, congresses, and courses. They reported having sufficient knowledge to use EBP, informing patients about treatment options, and considering their choices in the decision-making process. However, there were inconsistencies in responses regarding experience with EBP during undergraduate or postgraduate studies. The most frequently reported barriers were lack of time, difficulty in understanding statistics, and difficulties with the English language of scientific articles.

Discussion: EBP in Argentine physiotherapists is still poorly understood. Time, language, and difficulties in understanding statistics are the most important barriers to the implementation of EBP. Undergraduate and postgraduate courses are warranted to improve the clinical decision-making process.

背景和目的:循证医学在生物医学的各个领域得到了广泛的应用。然而,阿根廷没有先例调查理疗师关于循证医学知识和困难的数据。目的是描述阿根廷理疗师自我报告的与EBP相关的行为、知识、技能、意见和障碍。方法:对阿根廷289名物理治疗师进行了一项定制的描述性调查。对数据进行了描述性分析。结果:有效率为56%(163/289)。阿根廷物理治疗师通过科学文章、会议、大会和课程更新自己。他们报告说,他们有足够的知识来使用循证医学,告知患者治疗选择,并在决策过程中考虑他们的选择。然而,在本科生或研究生学习期间,关于EBP经验的回答存在不一致之处。据报道,最常见的障碍是缺乏时间、难以理解统计数据以及科学文章的英语语言困难。讨论:阿根廷理疗师对EBP的了解仍然很少。时间、语言和理解统计数据的困难是实施EBP的最重要障碍。本科生和研究生课程有助于改善临床决策过程。

Background and purpose: The World Health Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS 2.0) was developed to assess health and disability based on the biopsychosocial model. The WHODAS 2.0 has not been validated for Brazilians with chronic non-specific low back pain (LBP). We aimed to evaluate the reliability, internal consistency, and construct validity of the Brazilian version of the WHODAS 2.0 in patients with chronic LBP.

Methods: Methodological study. The Brazilian version of the WHODAS 2.0 was applied to 100 volunteers with chronic nonspecific LBP. Test-retest reliability, internal consistency, and construct validity were assessed using the Spearman correlation test, Cronbach's alpha (α) coefficient, and Spearman's correlation test between WHODAS 2.0, the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ), and Fear Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ), respectively.

Results: WHODAS 2.0 showed satisfactory test-retest reliability with a moderate correlation for total WHODAS 2.0 (r = 0.75, p < 0.05). Internal consistency was adequate for all domains and total score (α = 0.82-0.96). Regarding construct validity, WHODAS 2.0, ODI (r = 0.70, p < 0.05), and WHODAS 2.0 and RMDQ (r = 0.71, p < 0.05) had significant correlations. Total WHODAS 2.0 and FABQ-Phys subscale scores correlated moderately (r = 0.66, p < 0.05).

Discussion: The Brazilian WHODAS 2.0 was proved to be a valid and reliable tool for patients with chronic LBP. The item referring to sexual intercourse had 27% and 30% of the missing values during the test and retest stage, respectively and had a high percentage of missing data for work-related questions (41% missing data) in the life activities domain; therefore, the data must be interpreted with caution.

Implications for physiotherapy practice: WHODAS 2.0 can be used as a disability assessment strategy from a biopsychosocial perspective in this population.

背景和目的:世界健康残疾评估计划2.0(WHODAS 2.0)是基于生物心理社会模型制定的,旨在评估健康和残疾。WHODAS 2.0尚未针对患有慢性非特异性腰痛(LBP)的巴西人进行验证。我们旨在评估巴西版WHODAS2.0在慢性LBP患者中的可靠性、内部一致性和结构有效性。方法:方法学研究。巴西版WHODAS 2.0应用于100名患有慢性非特异性LBP的志愿者。采用Spearman相关检验、Cronbachα系数和Spearman相关性检验,分别对WHODAS2.0、Oswestry残疾指数(ODI)、Roland-Morris残疾问卷(RMDQ)和恐惧回避信念问卷(FABQ)进行信度、内部一致性和构念有效性评估。结果:WHODAS 2.0显示出令人满意的重新测试可靠性,与WHODAS总2.0具有中等相关性(r=0.75,p讨论:巴西WHODAS 2.0被证明是治疗慢性LBP患者的有效和可靠的工具。在测试和重新测试阶段,涉及性交的项目分别有27%和30%的缺失值,在生活活动领域,与工作相关的问题有很高比例的缺失数据(41%的缺失数据);因此,必须谨慎解读这些数据。物理治疗实践的启示:WHODAS 2.0可以作为一种从生物心理社会角度对该人群进行残疾评估的策略。

Paul Chesterton, Jennifer Chesterton

Background and purpose: To identify the paediatric curriculum content covered in entry-level physiotherapy programs within the United Kingdom (UK), and report faculties perceived importance. Strengths, weaknesses, barriers and facilitators, to the implementation of paediatric content were explored.

Methods: A cross-sectional online questionnaire captured entry-level physiotherapy programme leaders' perceptions of paediatric programs.

Results: Fifty-five responses were submitted, providing a 67% completion rate. Faculty perceived that students' felt the inclusion of paediatric content within the curricula was 'Important' (Mean 3.60 ± SD 0.74). Of 30 diagnoses surveyed, only two were covered 'Well' within curriculums, despite 23 rated at least 'Important' by respondents. Of the 18 assessment/examination components, 13 were covered 'Well' with five 'Somewhat'. All were considered to be at least 'Important'. Perceived strengths were grouped into three main categories (1) integrated/lifespan approach, (2) links to clinical specialists, and (3) a broad/detailed curriculum. Perceived weaknesses included curriculum time pressures and paediatric placement availability.

Discussion: The majority of paediatric conditions were only somewhat covered by UK curriculums, despite respondents in the main believing they should be an important element of the entry-level syllabus. Some UK physiotherapy entry-level students may not be exposed to any paediatric teaching or clinical placements.

背景和目的:确定英国初级物理治疗项目中涵盖的儿科课程内容,并报告各学院的重要性。探讨了儿科内容实施的优势、劣势、障碍和促进因素。方法:一份横断面在线问卷调查了初级物理治疗项目负责人对儿科项目的看法。结果:提交了55份答复,完成率为67%。教员们认为,学生们认为将儿科内容纳入课程是“重要的”(平均3.60±SD 0.74)。在接受调查的30项诊断中,只有两项在课程中涵盖“良好”,尽管23项被受访者评为至少“重要”。在18个评估/检查组成部分中,有13个是“好”,5个是“差不多”。所有这些都被认为至少是“重要的”。感知优势分为三大类:(1)综合/寿命方法,(2)与临床专家的联系,以及(3)广泛/详细的课程。所感知到的弱点包括课程时间压力和儿科安置的可用性。讨论:尽管受访者基本上认为儿科疾病应该是入门级教学大纲的重要组成部分,但英国的课程只涵盖了大多数儿科疾病。一些英国物理治疗入门级学生可能不会接触任何儿科教学或临床实习。

Purpose: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a major threat to public health worldwide and is predicted to increase. Existing interventions to implement clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) seem to be used mainly in the Western world. We conducted a structured educational program on the evidence-based management of OA (BOA) for Indian physical therapists (PT). Our study aimed to describe Indian PTs' knowledge, attitudes and confidence on evidence-based management of OA, and their perceptions of a course on this subject.

Methods: The 2-day course included didactic parts and practical skills training. Thirty-five PTs participated and answered a questionnaire. Fourteen of them participated in focus group interviews. Questionnaire data are presented as medians and full ranges. Manifest content analysis was used to analyze interview data that are presented as catagories illustrated by interview quotes. The formal ethics permission was granted.

Results: 74% of PTs agreed that radiography determines the type of treatment required, and 69% agreed that a prescription for exercise is enough to ensure adherence. PTs agreed (mean 5 on 6-point scale) that exercises increasing pain should be advised against. Confidence in guiding the physical activity was generally high (≥5 on 6-point scales). Five categories reflected participants' perceptions of the course content: Shift in management focus, Need for cultural adaptation, Importance of social support, Development of organization and collaboration, and Feelings of hesitation.

Discussion: Our results indicate that in order to facilitate the implementation of CPGs, PT curricula may consider the inclusion of knowledge on CPGs, focus more on students' own reflections on transforming theory into practice, and incorporate training of basic skills required for implementation of self-management, body awareness, and neuromuscular fitness. If given access and mandates, PTs may play a major role in the early diagnosis and treatment of OA and thus contribute to the prevention of an epidemic of OA in India.

目的:骨关节炎(OA)是世界范围内对公众健康的主要威胁,预计还会增加。实施临床实践指南(CPG)的现有干预措施似乎主要在西方世界使用。我们为印度物理治疗师(PT)开展了一项关于OA循证管理(BOA)的结构化教育计划。我们的研究旨在描述印度PT对OA循证管理的知识、态度和信心,以及他们对该主题课程的看法。方法:为期2天的课程包括教学部分和实践技能培训。35名PT参与并回答了一份问卷。其中14人参加了焦点小组访谈。问卷数据以中位数和全范围表示。清单内容分析用于分析访谈数据,这些数据以访谈引文所示的分类形式呈现。获得了正式的道德许可。结果:74%的PT同意射线照相术决定了所需的治疗类型,69%的PT同意运动处方足以确保依从性。PT同意(6分制的平均值为5),建议不要进行增加疼痛的运动。指导体育活动的信心通常很高(在6分制中≥5分)。五个类别反映了参与者对课程内容的看法:管理重点的转变、文化适应的需要、社会支持的重要性、组织和协作的发展以及犹豫的感觉。讨论:我们的研究结果表明,为了促进CPG的实施,PT课程可以考虑将知识纳入CPG,更多地关注学生自己将理论转化为实践的反思,并纳入实施自我管理、身体意识和神经肌肉健身所需的基本技能培训。如果获得授权,PT可能在OA的早期诊断和治疗中发挥重要作用,从而有助于预防印度OA的流行。

Measuring transversus abdominis activity using pressure biofeedback unit-A technical report. 应用压力生物反馈装置测量腹横肌活动——技术报告。
IF 1.7 Q2 Health Professions Pub Date : 2023-10-01 Epub Date: 2023-07-03 DOI: 10.1002/pri.2033

Background and purpose: Pressure biofeedback is a tool that can detect the movement of a structure and may be used as an indicator of muscle function. It's widely used to measure the transversus abdominis (TrA) muscle activity. Pressure biofeedback (PBU) monitors the abdominal wall movement by measuring the pressure change during abdominal hollowing and can indirectly evaluate the TrA muscle function, which is considered as a valuable tool. The evaluation of the training of core muscles, including the transversus abdominis, requires a reliable outcome. Various methods using different positions are used to evaluate the transversus abdominis muscle function. However, it is noted that a standard way of evaluation and training still needs to be improved in research and clinical practice. This technical report discusses the optimal position and technique to measure the TrA muscle activity using PBU, with discussions on the merits and demerits of the body positions.

Methods: The technical report is presented with a literature review of the PBU measurement of TrA and through observation in the clinical practice. The evaluation methods of TrA, including the position to activate and isolate, are discussed in detail.

Results: Training core muscles does not imply TrA activation, and evaluating isolated TrA and multifidus is essential before intervention. The abdominal drawing-in maneuver effectively activates TrA in various evaluation positions of the body, but when using PBUs, it would be valid in a prone position.

Discussion: Different body positions are practiced to train TrA and core muscles using PBU, commonly adopted by practice are in supine. It's noted that most of the studies lack in establishing the effectiveness of the position in evaluating the TrA muscle activity using PBU. The need for insight into an appropriate technique for evaluating TrA activity is addressed in this technical report. This report presents key points on the complete technique and concludes that the prone position is superior to other positions and recommended for measuring and recording the TrA activity using a PBU.

背景和目的:压力生物反馈是一种可以检测结构运动的工具,可以用作肌肉功能的指标。它被广泛用于测量腹横肌(TrA)的活动。压力生物反馈(PBU)通过测量腹部凹陷过程中的压力变化来监测腹壁运动,并可以间接评估TrA肌肉功能,这被认为是一种有价值的工具。评估核心肌肉的训练,包括腹横肌,需要一个可靠的结果。使用不同位置的各种方法来评估腹横肌的功能。然而,值得注意的是,在研究和临床实践中,标准的评估和培训方式仍需改进。本技术报告讨论了使用PBU测量TrA肌肉活动的最佳位置和技术,并讨论了身体位置的优缺点。方法:本技术报告对TrA的PBU测量进行了文献综述,并在临床实践中进行了观察。详细讨论了TrA的评价方法,包括激活和分离的位置。结果:训练核心肌肉并不意味着TrA激活,在干预前评估分离的TrA和多裂肌是至关重要的。腹部牵引动作在身体的各种评估位置有效地激活TrA,但当使用PBU时,它在俯卧位置是有效的。讨论:采用PBU训练不同体位的TrA和核心肌,通常采用仰卧位。值得注意的是,大多数研究都缺乏确定使用PBU评估TrA肌肉活动的位置的有效性。本技术报告阐述了深入了解评估TrA活性的适当技术的必要性。本报告介绍了完整技术的关键点,并得出结论,俯卧姿势优于其他姿势,建议使用PBU测量和记录TrA活动。
