Detailed description

It is the study of the effectiveness of spinal stabilization exercises and chiropractic spinal manipulation in healthy individuals. In addition, it was planned to investigate the effects of spinal stabilization exercises and manipulation on muscle strength, muscular endurance, balance and proprioception, depression and quality of life. Eighty healthy individuals between the ages of 18-45 who voluntarily participated in the study from students or academic/administrative staff at Gümüşhane University were included in the study. The study program was explained to the participants in line with the Informed Consent Form. It was included in the study after the relevant form was signed by the participant. Healthy individuals to participate in the study will be randomly divided into 4 groups; randomization will be done by "Research Randomizer" computer program. Group 1 Stabilization group (n = 20), Group 2 Manipulation group (n = 20), Group 3 Stabilization and Manipulation group (n = 20), Group 4 Control group (n = 20). Group 1 will be given stabilization exercises for a total of 18 sessions, 3 times a week for 6 weeks, each session for 45 minutes. Group 2 will be applied high-speed low-amplitude (HVLA) chiropractic manipulation for a total of 6 sessions, once a week for 6 weeks. Group 3 will be given both stabilization exercises and manipulation exercises. The fourth group will be followed as a control group and no application will be made. Prone plunk, side plunk and sorenson tests for muscular endurance in the individuals participating in the study; Quadriceps muscle strength for muscle strength assessment; Joint position sense for propioception; Y balance test for balance; Short Form-36 (SF-36) for quality of life; Beck Depression Inventory was planned to be evaluated before, after and 1 months for psychosomatic evaluation.
