ABSTRACT |
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of Temporomandibular joint Balance Appliance for
Golf (TBA-G) of Functional Cerebrospinal Therapy (FCST) on golf driver head speed and back muscle power.
Methods: Twenty-one participants that had a golf career of 4 years or more were involved. We measured golf drive
head speed and back muscular strength before and after applying TBA-G in the mouth. A paired t test or Wilcoxon
singed rank test was performed to identify the difference of effect between before and after applying TBA-G, using
IBM SPSS 19.0. We considered difference significant at P<0.05.
Results: Driver head speed increased significantly by 2 mph (1.99%) after applying TBA-G [from 100.52±9.82 mph
(mean ± SD) to 102.52±10.43 mph, P<0.001]. Back muscular strength also increased by 7.28 kg (5.60%) [from
129.90±28.31 kg to 137.18±28.81 kg, P<0.001]. In stratification analysis, a more significant increase was found in the
drive head speed and back muscular strength of groups of males with weight more than 69kg, with height more than
175cm, and with golf experience more than 7 years, compared to those of other groups.
Conclusions: The results suggest that TBA-G could improve golf drive head speed and back muscular strength. |
