FM not C reduced affective dimension of pain pre-post () C not FM improved sensory dimension of pain pre/posttest () NSD for evaluative dimension of pain or anxiety
Only acute effects were measured. Baseline differences between FM and C in duration of back pain may be important
Body Cathexis Scale; Body Parts Satisfaction Scale; Body perception; emotion inventory; Anorexia- Nervosa-Inventory for Self-Rating; eating disorder inventory-2
FM participants showed increasing contentment with regard to problematic zones of their body and their own health and acceptance and familiarity with their body
54 undergrad physiotherapy students with no prior FM experience
FM: min ATM lessons via audiocassette over a 2-week period
Relaxation: min relaxation sessions via audiocassette over a 2-week period C: no specific tasks over 2-week period
Bipolar form of the profile of mood states (POMS-BI)
NSD Composed-anxious scores of the POMS-BI did vary significantly over time () for all participants. Females in FM and relaxation groups reported significantly lower anxiety scores at completion compared with control
60 patients transferred to normal ward after acute treatment for MI
FM: min individual sessions
Relaxation: min individual PMR C: no body-oriented interventions
Body image questionnaire (FKB-20, German version); Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-German version (HADS-D); Munich Quality of Life Dimensions List (MLDL); German version Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES)
NSD
Overall improvements were seen in MLDL, GSES, and FKB-20
FM: getting grounded gracefully program (based on ATM) –60 min sessions/wk over 8 weeks
C: continue with usual activity
Frenchay Activity Index; Human Activity Profile; Assessment of Quality of Life; Modified Falls Efficacy Scale; Abbreviated Mental Test Score; four-square step test; timed up and go test; the Step Test; Timed Sit-To-Stand Test; Clinical Stride Analyzer; force-platform measures of gait, mobility, and function; satisfaction survey
Significant effects for gait speed () and Modified Falls Efficacy Scale () for FM group; near significant effect for timed up and go test () Positive feedback from survey
No significant baseline differences between groups. High class attendance
47 relatively healthy independently living ≥65-year-olds
FM: 1 hour ATM sessions 3x/week for 5 weeks (provided by instructor)
C: waitlist
Falls Efficacy Scale; Activities Specific Balance Confidence Scale; timed up and go and TUG with added cognitive task; GAITRite Walkway System; tandem stance
Balance () and mobility () increased for FM, whilst fear of falling decreased ().
At baseline groups comparable except for higher BMI in intervention group
SF-36; Patient Specific Functional Scale (PSFS); timed up and go test; functional reach test (FRT); Single Leg Stance Time (SLS); Walk on Floor Eyes closed (WOFEC)
Significant time effect for all measures except for WOFEC Significant improvements for both groups for SF-36, PSFS, and FRT. SLS improved FM ()
