Investigation of Core Endurance in Fibromyalgia
Sponsor: Firat University
Summary
The aim of this study is to compare core endurance and balance in patients with Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) with healthy subjects and to evaluate the relationship between core endurance and balance.The study will include 44 FMS patients and 44 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Demographic data of the participants will be recorded. Then, core endurance will be assessed with McGill core endurance tests, balance will be evaluated with HUR BTG4 Balance Master System and Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and function will be assessed with Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ).

Fibromyalgia group
Demographic information (age, height, weight, occupation, medication, smoking) of the individuals who agreed to participate in the study will be recorded. Then, static and dynamic core endurance tests will be performed to evaluate core endurance. Static core endurance tests will include side bridge test, trunk flexion test, trunk extension test and prone bridge test. Modified push-ups and sit-ups tests will be performed as dynamic core endurance tests. Functional status of the patients will be evaluated with the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire. Static and dynamic balance assessment will be evaluated using the HUR BTG4 Balance Master System and Berg Balance Scale.
