Correction of myofascial changes in patients suffering dorsopathies and panic disorders with the use of physical exercises

This study was designed to investigate the functional capacity of the locomotor system by testing the muscular function in patients suffering dorsopathies and panic disorders. The results give evidence of pathological changes in the muscles of the neck, upper limb girdle, trunk, and lower extremities. A physical training program has been developed based on the use of the TwistStation exerciser that permits the motions to be performed in the frontal and sagittal planes; moreover, it allows rotational motions. It is also shown that physical exercises have beneficial effect on the muscular system, the vestibular apparatus, and adaptation to physical exertion.
