Method: The study involved randomly assigning 20 participants to an experimental group, which followed a foot exercise program, and 20 participants to a control group, which engaged in a neck exercise program. The study lasted for a total of 5 weeks, with both groups participating 5 days a week. The experimental group conducted 20 minutes of deep neck flexor strengthening exercises and 20 minutes of foot exercises, totaling 40 minutes per session. The control group performed deep neck flexor strengthening exercises for 20 minutes twice a day, also totaling 40 minutes. Results: The study revealed a significant reduction in the cranio-vertebral angle before and after the experiment in the experimental group (p<0.1). Similarly, the control group exhibited a significant decrease in the cranio-vertebral angle before and after the experiment (p<0.1). When comparing the change in the cranio-vertebral angle before and after the experiment between the experimental and control groups, the experimental group demonstrated a more substantial change (p<0.05). Conclusion: The group that implemented the foot exercise program with individuals suffering from forward head posture displayed a more significant decrease in the cranio-vertebral angle compared to the group that followed the neck exercise program. Consequently, this study suggests that applying a foot exercise program to individuals with forward head posture can contribute to the correction of their posture alignment.","PeriodicalId":342499,"journal":{"name":"The Korean Society of Medicine & Therapy Science","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139208295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to determine the effect of earmuff use on the signal-to-noise ratio of distortion production otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) in a white noise environment. Method: Participants were 19 young, healthy men and women (38 ears) aged 22.45±1.31 years. The hearing threshold level in 1, 2, 3, and 4 ㎑ did not exceed 15 ㏈ HL. DPOAE was performed at four points per octave in the range 842 to 9,509 ㎐ based on f2. After obtaining the baseline (Base), white noise was presented at 10 ㏈ intervals from 40 to 70 ㏈ SPL. DPOAE was obtained without (WN) and with earmuff (Earmuff). The maximum permissible ambient noise level (MPANL) of the WN and Earmuff were compared (paired t-test). Signal-to-noise ratio (one-way repeated measures ANOVA) and PASS rate (Chi-square test) between WN, Earmuff and Base at the overall frequency, mid-frequency (mid-3-freq), and high-frequency (hi-3-freq) bands were analyzed. Results: There was a difference of 22.19 ㏈ in MPANL between Base and WN (p=.000). There was a significant difference in the SNR between Base and WN from 40 ㏈ SPL, and in PASS rate between Base and Earmuff from 60 SPL (p<.005). Conclusion: In DPOAE, earmuff increase MPANL, which enables recording at up to 60 ㏈ SPL. The SNR in the high-frequency band is more preserved than in the lower, Therefore, it seems advantageous for early detection of cochlear microstructural changes due to noise or aging.","PeriodicalId":342499,"journal":{"name":"The Korean Society of Medicine & Therapy Science","volume":" 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139197526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
