ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The KOJI AWARENESS� screening test is a self-administered screening tool for assessment of mobility, stability, and strength. It provides corrective exercises corresponding to the individual's answers to the KOJI AWARENESS� test questions. However, there is no evidence of the effectiveness of corrective exercises in improving KOJI AWARENESS� screening test scores and activity-related pain.METHODS:
Twenty-six healthy subjects (11 female and 15 male ; age 20?50 years) were selected for participation. In a controlled laboratory setting, subjects were administered the KOJI AWARENESS� test and were provided with individualized exercise programs based on the results of this first test. KOJI AWARENESS� results were checked on the first day immediately after the first exercise session, and then again after the two-week program. Pain intensity was also assessed during daily training using a numerical rating scale.RESULTS:
Compared to pre-intervention, KOJI AWARENESS� scores were significantly higher immediately after the first corrective exercise session and after 2 weeks of intervention (p<0.001). Moreover, pain intensity was significantly lower after 2 weeks of intervention (p<0.001).CONCLUSIONS:
Individualized KOJI AWARENESS� corrective exercises were effective immediately on the first day and also after the two-week program in improving the KOJI AWARENESS� score and reducing pain intensity during daily training. J. Med. Invest. 70 208-212, February, 2023.Palavras-chave
