Summary

Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease characterized by increased exercise-induced fatigue and muscle weakness. MG is a disease caused by impaired receptor function due to antibodies to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in postsynaptic region in voluntary skeletal muscles.Spinal stabilization exercises, which use the basic principles of motor learning, aiming to improve the coordination, contraction rate and endurance of the body muscles by increasing kinesthetic awareness, can be used to strengthen body stability.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of spinal stabilization exercises on fatigue, muscle strength, pulmonary functions and functional capacity in patients with MG.

Spinal stabilization exercise

The effects of spinal stabilization exercise in patients with myasthenia gravis will be investigated.There is no study in the literature that previously applied spinal stabilization exercises in patients with myasthenia gravis. The benefits of spinal stabilization exercises in other diseases are shown.
