Article The Acute Effects of Various Dynamic Stretching Exercises on Jump Performance and Range of Motion(Universidad de Murcia, 2025) Savaan, Mustafa; Pmar, Yeliz; Pmar, Salih; Savaşan, Mustafa; Pinar, Salih; Pinar, YelizThis study aimed to investigate the acute effects of different dynamic stretching (DS) protocols on vertical jump performance and range of motion (ROM). Thirty healthy male participants, with an average age of 23.48 years, body weight of 76.90 kg, and height of 181.87 cm, who had engaged in recreational exercise for at least two years, participated voluntarily. A "cross-controlled randomized" experimental design was utilized to assess four distinct DS protocols: a-DS at 100 bpm for 30", b-DS at 100 bpm for 75" s, c-DS at 150 bpm for 30", and d-DS at 150 bpm for 75". Acute ROM was measured using the Passive Straight Leg Raise Test (PSLR), while jump performance was assessed via countermovement jump (CMJ). Data were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA and paired samples T-tests with significance set at p<.05. All four DS techniques significantly increased angles measured by PSLR following application (p <.05). CMJ values also showed significant improvements in both groups subjected to the shorter protocols lasting 30"at either tempo (p <.05). Consideration should be given to application duration and tempo when planning DS exercises, as structured warmup routines can enhance flexibility and optimize athletic performance.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1The Effect of Neck Mobilization Vs. Combined Neck and Lumbar Mobilization on Pain and Range of Motion in People With Cervical Disc Herniation: a Randomized Controlled Study(Elsevier, 2025) Ozdincler, Arzu; Aktas, Dogan; Reyhanioglu, Duygu Aktar; Ozturk, Basar; Aktar Reyhanioglu, DuyguBackground: To assess the effectiveness of Kaltenborn-Evjenth Orthopedic Manual Therapy (KEOMT) applied to cervical-only mobilization versus both lumbar and cervical regions on pain intensity and range of motion (ROM) in individuals with cervical disc herniation. Methods: Thirty-three participants were enrolled in the study. The patients were randomly assigned to two groups. Group A received cervical-only KEOMT, while Group B received combined lumbar and cervical KEOMT. Interventions were administered three times a week for four weeks. Pain was measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), ROM was assessed for flexion and lateral flexion, and Neck Pain and Disability Index (NPDI) and Short-Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36) were used for evaluation. Results: In intra-group measurements, a statistically significant difference was observed in all parameters of pain, ROM, disability, and quality of life for the mobilization methods applied in both groups (p < 0.05). Group B demonstrated significantly greater improvements in ROM/flexion, pain, and disability outcomes compared to Group A in inter-group measurements (p < 0.05). Physical and emotional sub-groups of quality of life measures also favored Group B in intergroup analysis (p < 0.05). However, the power values for ROM and quality of life parameters were found to be low. Conclusions: The cervical plus lumbar KEOMT technique is more effective than cervical-only mobilization in improving pain and disability. However, low power values for ROM and quality of life suggest these results may lack clinical significance, warranting further research.Article The Relation of The Duration of Work in Dentists With Postural Problems, Range of Motion and Pain(Bezmialem Vakif Univ, 2020) Tekin, Demet; Koksal, MesutObjective: The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between cervical and lumbar range of motions, pain and postural problems with the time spent in the occupation in dentists. Methods: A total of 56 dentists (27 males, 29 females), participated in this research as a volunteer (age=29.55 +/- 9.5 years). Firstly, the participants were divided into 3 groups according to the working years in their life and the time spent at unit during the day; they were also divided into 2 groups according to the intermittent or uninterrupted working conditions during the day. Cervical and lumbar joint range of motions were measured to determine limitations. The McGill pain scale survey was used to evaluate the pain. Kruskal Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests with a posthoc Bonferroni test were used for all statistical analyses. Results: It was seen that the cervical and lumbar joint range of motions decreased, and the postural deformities in the spine and knee were observed and the level of pain increased significantly in comparatively to the excess of the time spent in the profession. However, in the analysis according to the time spent at the unit during the day, only the decrease in the range of motion of the regions was determined with the increase of the time spent at the unit during the day. Conclusion: With the increase in the working years in the dentists, it was revealed that the limitation of the range of motion increased and posture disorders and pain were formed. It is thought that all these problems will be caused by working in non-ergonomic environments for a long time. In this respect, it is important to include experts in the field of physiotherapy in the courses given under the name of preventive medicine. As a result, it can be said that the health problems encountered with the increase in time spent in the profession have increased.
