Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study was to compare the parameters of scapular muscular endurance, scapular stabilization, scapular dyskinesia, upper extremity functional status and postural alignment of adult women aged between 40-65 years old who were performing clinical pilates exercises regularly compared with sedentary adult women in the same age group and to determine whether regular exercise had an effect on these parameters.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The aim of this study was to compare the parameters of scapular muscular endurance, scapular stabilization, scapular dyskinesia, upper extremity functional status and postural alignment of adult women aged between 40-65 years old who were performing clinical pilates exercises regularly compared with sedentary adult women in the same age group and to determine whether regular exercise had an effect on these parameters. A total of 70 individuals were included in the study, including 35 individuals performing regular clinical pilates exercises and 35 individuals with sedentary lifestyles. Clinical pilates group was selected from the individuals who participated in the exercise program under the control of a physiotherapist regularly for 1 hour, 2-3 days a week for at least 6 months. Socio-demographic characteristics, health status and exercise habits of the participants were recorded. For scapular muscle strength assessment, digital hand dynamometer; for scapular muscular endurance assessment, Scapular Muscular Endurance Test (SMET) and Shoulder External Rotation Fatigue Protocol; for the assessment of scapular dyskinesia, Lateral Scapular Slide Test (LSST) and Lennie test; for assessment of upper extremity functional status, Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Questionnaire (DASH); for the assessment of postural alignment, the New York Posture Assessment Test were used.
