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 mph () to mph, P<0.001]. Back muscular strength also increased by 7.28 kg (5.60%) [from kg to 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.
