Objectives: This study aimed to compare joint position sense (JPS) and force reproduction in racquet athletes with and without SD. Methods: This study was conducted as a cross-sectional study. The statistical population consisted of female student-athletes aged 18 to 30 who were engaged in badminton, tennis, and ping pong in Quchan city, both with and without shoulder dyskinesia. The sample included thirty athletes with shoulder dyskinesia and thirty without it, who were randomly selected. Joint Position Sense was assessed at 45 and 135 degrees of abduction. The tools employed in this research encompassed a consent form, an inclinometer (goniometer), the Kibler test, force-reproduction testing, and the McClure test. Data analysis was performed using the Shapiro-Wilk test and an independent t-test in SPSS version 23, with a significance level set at P < 0.05. Results: The results revealed a statistically significant difference in JPS of the shoulder joint between athletes with and without SD at angles of 45 and 135 degrees (P < 0.05). Similarly, the independent t-test analysis demonstrated a significant difference in force reproduction of the shoulder joint between athletes with and without dyskinesis (P < 0.05). Conclusions: These findings underscore the importance of addressing SD and its associated sensory impairments in racquet athletes to optimize performance and reduce the risk of injuries.","PeriodicalId":504330,"journal":{"name":"Middle East Journal of Rehabilitation and Health Studies","volume":"266 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140491136","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}

Taheri-Kharameh","doi":"10.5812/mejrh-142098","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5812/mejrh-142098","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory illness that can lead to dyspnea and anxiety among patients. Previous studies have demonstrated that resistance and breathing exercises can enhance respiratory function and reduce anxiety in various populations. However, the effectiveness of combined resistance and breathing exercises in alleviating dyspnea and anxiety, specifically in COVID-19 patients, remains uncertain. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of combined resistance and breathing exercises in alleviating dyspnea and anxiety among COVID-19 patients. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted involving 33 COVID-19 patients who were randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group received combined resistance and breathing exercises for 4 weeks; nevertheless, the control group did not receive any such intervention. Dyspnea and anxiety levels were assessed using the Borg Dyspnea Scale and the Beck Anxiety Inventory, respectively, at baseline and after the 4-week intervention period. Results: After 4 weeks of intervention, the intervention group exhibited a significant improvement in both dyspnea (P = 0.039) and anxiety (P = 0.007), compared to the control group. The mean anxiety score in the intervention group decreased significantly from 18.5 ± 10.1 to 7.6 ± 5.7; nonetheless, the mean anxiety score changed from 15.6 ± 7.7 to 13.6 ± 6.1 in the control group. Conclusions: Combined resistance and breathing exercises have proven to be effective in reducing dyspnea during physical activity and alleviating anxiety in COVID-19 patients. These exercises should be considered a non-pharmacological intervention for managing respiratory symptoms and anxiety in individuals affected by COVID-19.","PeriodicalId":504330,"journal":{"name":"Middle East Journal of Rehabilitation and Health Studies","volume":"146 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140491559","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}
