Comparison of Shoulder, Trunk and Neck Muscle Function with Glenohumeral Joint Disorders in Army Officers with and without Upper Cross Syndrome
Background and Aim: One of the leading groups that are susceptible to Upper Cross syndrome are army personnel. Due to having more physical activities, the army officers are more likely to be exposed to Upper Cross syndrome. In this line, the present study aims to comparatively investigate the relationship between the performance of the shoulder, neck, and body muscles among the army personnel h...
متن کاملComparison between anatomy and resistance of upper airway in normal subjects, snorers and OSAS patients.
Upper airway (UA) anatomical abnormalities are frequently observed in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). The correspondence between UA anatomical modifications and UA resistance (UAR) had not been studied. We aimed to determine if cephalometric characteristics could be related to segmental UAR. In twenty-five patients (21 males) (15 OSAS patients, 10 snorers) and 10 control subjects (8 ma...
متن کاملDetection of upper airway resistance syndrome using a nasal cannula/pressure transducer.
STUDY OBJECTIVES To determine the diagnostic utility of a nasal cannula/pressure transducer (NC), in comparison to thermistor (TH), during routine, clinical nocturnal polysomnography (NPSG). DESIGN We analyzed the respiratory arousal index (RAI) using TH (RAI-TH) or NC (RAI-NC) in patients with suspected sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). SETTING Sleep disorders center of a university-affili...
متن کاملMechanisms of upper airway hypotonia
The onset of sleep is associated with a reduction in upper airway patency and an increase in resistance, an effect observed in normal humans and animals, and typically present in snorers and patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)/hypopnea syndrome (1–5). Patients with OSA commonly have structural abnormalities that result in a narrowed upper airway and collapsible pharyngeal walls. During ...
متن کاملOrofacial-cervical alterations in individuals with upper airway resistance syndrome.
INTRODUCTION Studies that assess the upper airways in sleep-related breathing disorders have been performed only in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome who seek medical attention. Therefore, in addition to the need for population studies, there are no data on the orofacial-cervical physical examination in subjects with upper airway resistance syndrome. OBJECTIVES To compare the oro...
