Abstract

Aim. To determine the effect of ultraviolet on vitamin D activation and balance in postmenopausal woman. Materials and methods. This study was conducted on forty postmenopausal women suffering from vitamin D deficiency (diagnosed by physician), with their age ranged from 50 to 60 years. They were randomly assigned into two equal groups. Group (A) received ultraviolet for 12 weeks (n = 20), while group (B) served as a control group (n = 20). Vitamin D was evaluated by blood analysis while balance was evaluated by Biodex balance system before and after treatment for both groups. Results. Comparing both groups post-treatment showed that there was a statistically significant increase in vitamin D (p < 0.05) and statistically significant reduction in all balance indices (p < 0.05) in favor of group (A). Conclusions. Ultraviolet radiation is effective, easy to apply, simple and successful method in improving vitamin D concentration and balance in postmenopausal women.

Abstract
Purpose. This study aimed to investigate and compare the effect of lumbar stabilization exercises versus Kinesio taping on pain intensity level, functional disabilities, and lumbar range of motion (ROM) on non-specific LBP in post-menopausal women. Materials and Methods. 60 post-menopausal women diagnosed with chronic non-specific LBP participated in this study. Their ages ranged from 50 to 60 years. They were randomly assigned into three groups equal in numbers.  Group A received traditional physical therapy only. Group B received lumbar stabilization exercises and traditional physical therapy. Group C received Kinesio taping technique and traditional physical therapy. All patients received the treatment 3 times per week for 6 weeks. The pain was measured by visual analogue scale (VAS), functional disability was measured by the Oswestry disability index (ODI), and lumbar ROM was measured by a double inclinometer. Results. The group A, B, and C revealed significant decreases in VAS score, ODI score, and significant increases in lumbar flexion and extension ROM post=treatment. Group B and C showed significant decreases in VAS score, and ODI score, and significant increases in lumbar flexion and extension ROM when compared to group A. However, there were no significant differences between group B and group C in all variables post=treatment. Conclusions. Both lumbar stabilization exercises and Kinesio taping have beneficial and similar effects in reducing pain, improving functional ability, and increasing ROM in postmenopausal women with non-specific LBP.

摘要
背景。更年期导致骨质强度降低，年长妇女穿不同高度的鞋子将影响其以直立姿势、90°躯干弯曲或完全驱赶弯曲工作时的性能。目的。本研究旨在调查不同高跟鞋对绝经后骨质疏松妇女在不同躯干姿势下的脊椎形态影响。方法。本研究由从物理治疗学系选出的40名绝经后骨质疏松妇女进行，她们分别穿着不同鞋子：平底、帆布胶鞋和3厘米鞋跟的鞋。其平均年龄为49.05 ± 2.14 （岁），平均体重79.02 ± 7.7 （公斤），平均身高163.06 ± 6.17 （厘米）且平均体重指数BMI 为29.57 ± 1.9 （公斤/平方米）。在穿着不同鞋跟高度的两个确切脊椎骨间测量脊柱角度偏差，并将其与穿平底鞋的脊柱偏差比较。脊柱位置变化依（平底鞋、帆布胶鞋和3厘米鞋跟的鞋）在直立姿势、躯干90度弯曲和躯干完全弯曲时记录。脊柱角度偏差依T1-T2、T7-T8、T12-L1、L5-S1 等4个级别测量。结果。不同躯干姿势对脊柱角度偏差有显著影响。在T1-T2级别上，使用帆布胶鞋和3厘米鞋跟高度的鞋的三种姿势在脊柱角度平均值上有显著差异。在T7-T8级别上，使用平底鞋、帆布胶鞋和3厘米鞋跟的鞋的三种姿势在脊柱角度平均值上有显著差异。在T12-L1级别上，穿着平底鞋、帆布胶鞋、3厘米鞋跟的鞋等3种类型鞋子在脊柱角度平均值和90°躯干弯曲间有显著差异，穿着平底鞋、帆布胶鞋和3厘米鞋跟的鞋在3中姿势的脊柱角度平均值上有显著差异。在L5-S1级别上，3种类型的鞋、直立姿势的脊柱角度平均值间有显著差异，穿着平底鞋、帆布胶鞋和3厘米鞋跟的鞋在3种姿势的脊柱角度平均值间有显著差异。结论。T1- T2 和 T7-T8级别上，随着躯干弯曲度增加，脊柱角度偏差减小。在T12- L1级别上，90˚弯曲时平度鞋最佳，之后为3厘米高度的鞋跟。在L5-S1级别上，直立姿势时平底鞋为最佳，之后为3厘米高度的鞋跟。
