Last Updated: 2024-09-20

Basic Information

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to compare core endurance and balance in patients with Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) with healthy subjects and to evaluate the relationship between core endurance and balance.The study will include 44 FMS patients and 44 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Demographic data of the participants will be recorded. Then, core endurance will be assessed with McGill core endurance tests, balance will be evaluated with HUR BTG4 Balance Master System and Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and function will be assessed with Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ).

Detailed Description

Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) is defined as a chronic disease with an unclear etiology, which is characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, mainly non-inflammatory, in females between 40-60 years of age, accompanied by fatigue, weakness, sleep problems, depression, anxiety and various cognitive and somatic disorders. The etiology and pathophysiology are still unclear. Balance is a key component of activities of daily living such as walking, running and climbing stairs. Maintaining an upright posture is a complex process that involves perceiving and integrating sensory inputs, planning movements, and executing them effectively. It is also defined as the ability to control the center of gravity within the base of support. The aim of this study is to compare core endurance and balance in patients with Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) with healthy subjects and to evaluate the relationship between core endurance and balance.The study will include 44 FMS patients and 44 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Demographic data of the participants will be recorded. Then, core endurance will be assessed with McGill core endurance tests, balance will be evaluated with HUR BTG4 Balance Master System and Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and function will be assessed with Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ).

Fibromyalgia

Study Design

• Observational Model Type: OTHER
• Study Time Perspective: PROSPECTIVE

Study Groups

Fibromyalgia group

Demographic information (age, height, weight, occupation, medication, smoking) of the individuals who agreed to participate in the study will be recorded. Then, static and dynamic core endurance tests will be performed to evaluate core endurance. Static core endurance tests will include side bridge test, trunk flexion test, trunk extension test and prone bridge test. Modified push-ups and sit-ups tests will be performed as dynamic core endurance tests. Functional status of the patients will be evaluated with the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire. Static and dynamic balance assessment will be evaluated using the HUR BTG4 Balance Master System and Berg Balance Scale.
