Biomechanical and Functional Assessment of The Upper Body and Selection of Kinesitherapy Exercises for Posture Correction and Symptom Reduction : Undergraduate Thesis

U ovom radu opisana je kineziterapijska dijagnostika i procjena stanja gornjeg dijela tijela kod pacijentice, te odabir vježbi za ispravak posture i smanjenje simptoma. Dijagnostika bolnog stanja pacijenta napravljena je kroz mnoge ortopedske i neurološke testove, a prije svega analizu posture. Bolna stanja kod pacijentice: sindrom gornjeg torakalnog otvora (TOS – neurogeni), miogene glavobolje te kvadrilateralni sindrom uklještenja pacijentici su zadavali bol kroz duže vrijeme. Nakon dobro izabranih vježbi stanje pacijentice se znatno poboljšalo. Koristeći zakonistosti biomehanike i jačanje određenih struktura, ne samo da je došlo do vidnog poboljšanja u posturi, nego su se i svi bolovi smanjili.This paper describes a kinesitherapy diagnostics and evaluation of the upper portion of the body, selection of exercises for posture improvement and reduction of symptoms. Diagnosis of the patient's painful condition has been made through many orthopedic and neurological tests, and above all posture analysis. Painful conditions in the patient: upper thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS - neurogenic), myogenic headaches and quadrilateral entrapment gave the patient pain for a long time. After a good selection of exercises, the patient's condition im-proved significantly. Using biomechanics and strengthening of certain structures, not only was there a visible improvement in posture, but all the pain diminished
