Frequency-Dependent Effects of Mobilization-Based Exercise on Dynamic Postural Control in Orchestra Musicians: An Exploratory Randomized Controlled Trial
Sponsor: Inonu University
Summary
Orchestra musicians are exposed to prolonged asymmetric postures and repetitive upper-quarter loading that may affect postural control. This exploratory randomized controlled trial examined whether a four-week mobilization-based exercise program, delivered once or twice weekly, was associated with changes in static sensory-dependent balance and dynamic voluntary weight-shifting control.

Experimental Group 1 Mobilization Exercises
The mobilization-based program, consisting of Cat-Camel Mobilization (2 × 15), Foam Roller Thoracic Extension (2 × 15), Scapular Retraction/Protraction (2 × 15), Pectoralis Minor Wall Stretch (2 × 30 s), Cervical Side Glide (2 × 15), and Shoulder Controlled Articular Rotations (2 × 12), was applied to Experimental Group 2 (n = 8) twice a week for 4 weeks.
