Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the effects of clinical pilates exercises and home exercise program on postural disorders, pain intensity, normal range of motion, muscle strength, endurance, muscle shortness, joint position sense and functional status in desk workers with sagittal cervical disorientation.

Conditions

Sagital Cervical Disorientation

Keywords

clinical pilates; exercise; Sagital Cervical Disorientation; Disorientation; Forward Head Posture

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Postural Disorders

  The evaluation of cervical and upper thoracic posture will be done through the lateral photography. A camera placed on the tripod will be placed 1,5 m away from the patient while standing in a standing position, and the lens of the camera corresponds to the shoulder of the person. Before the patients will be asked to be on their neutral position, they will be asked to move their heads forth and back for the three times and leave their two arms loose next to the body. Angular calculations will be done by attaching reflective markers to their anatomical points of T4 spinosus process, C7 spinosus process, tragus and eye canthus before the photography. Computer program (Markus Bader-MB Software Solutions, triangular screen ruler) will be used for the angular calculations (craniovertebral angle, head tilt angle, cervico-thoracic angle).

clinical pilates exercises

EXPERIMENTAL

The experimental group will receive clinical pilates exercise training in group form for 3 weeks a week for 8 weeks. The training will be done 40-50 minutes per one day. The exercise session will be started with a 10 minute warming program, 30 minutes with the core stabilization training and the clinical pilates exercises with the postural alignment exercises will be applied and the exercise session will be ended with the 10 minutes cooling period.

Other: clinical pilates exercises

Home exercises program

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

For 8 weeks the member in comparison group will be ask to do the exercise program 3 days a week at home. This group will receive a program of stretching, strengthening, and posture exercises. All the exercises in the program will be illustrated on a descriptive form with images. In terms of the follow-up during 8-week duration, the individuals will be called frequently and in the interview by the end of the study.

Other: home exercises program

Interventions

clinical pilates exercises OTHER

servikal, deep flexor muscles, posture exercsises

Also known as: exercise program

clinical pilates exercises

home exercises program OTHER

stretching, strengthening, and posture exercises to reduce functional disability, to relieve the pain and to provide postural straightening.
