Filter by:Objective of the study is to compare the effects of kinesio taping and routine physical therapy on pain, range of motion and functional disability in patients with upper cross syndrome.It is a single blinded randomized controlled trial using non probability purposive sampling technique. ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS: There is a significant difference in the effects of routine physical therapy with and without kinesio taping on pain, range of motion and functional disability in patients with upper cross syndrome. NULL HYPOTHESIS: There is no significant difference in the effects of routine physical therapy with and without kinesio taping on pain, range of motion and functional disability in patients with upper cross syndrome.
Cervical spine disorders can cause neck pain with or without neurological dysfunction. The most common cause of acute and chronic neck pain is cervical degenerative changes. Surgical decision of cervical pathology is made by anamnesis, neurological examination and imaging methods. Airway management can be difficult for patients presenting for cervical spine surgery. In addition, these patients may have severe cervical spine instability or spinal cord level myelopathy and may develop serious neurological complications associated with the intubation technique. Videolaringoscopes, which have become widely used with the developing technology, provide a better view than direct laryngoscopy in terms of cervical immobilization during intubation. Therefore, videolaryngoscope is preferred for cervical pathologies. Nowadays, the use of videolaryngoscope is recommended in patients with airway difficulty. Neutral position is important for intubation of patients with cervical pathology and it is highly recommended in the literature to evaluate these patients as difficult airways. All cervical patients are intubated with videolaryngoscope in investigator's clinic. The aim of this study was to evaluate how long the duration of cervical pathology affects airway anatomy and how it affects airway management during anesthesia. On the other hand, airway-related measurements will be performed by MRI and ultrasonography (USG), which is routinely evaluated in the diagnosis process, and it will be aimed to evaluate these measurements in terms of their effects on intubation quality. At the end of the study, all evaluations were analyzed and it was aimed to compare the effects of other evaluated parameters (such as USG and MRI measurements) on intubation difficulty level, with cervical pathology duration being primary.
Cervical epidural block could cause spinal cord injury if the epidural needle is over-inserted and punctures the spinal cord. Investigators retrospectively evaluated the imaging data of 100 patients (50 men and 50 women) who underwent both cervical computed tomography (CT) and cervical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at our hospital. Investigators measured the diameters of the spinal canal and spinal cord from the 3rd cervical vertebra to the 1st thoracic vertebra (T1) at each level by using the patients' cervical CT and MR images. The spinal cord and spinal canal diameters were measured in the transverse plane of cervical MR and CT images, respectively.
The feelings of imbalance, unsteadiness, and disorientation with cervicogenic dizziness is not clear. It has been suggested that a disruption of the normal afferent signals from the upper cervical proprioceptors to the vestibular nucleus results in an inaccurate depiction of head and neck orientation in space due to highly developed proprioceptive system that allows the neuromuscular control of cervical spine and effective use of vital organs in the head through unique connections to the vestibular and visual systems. Motor Control Therapeutic Exercises and vestibular exercises have been used to increase motor control and reduce pain and disability in patients with neck pain.
Since TMJ and cervical pain incidence are rising and both structures are highly interrelated anatomically and functionally. And yet no standard protocol for TMD therapy The objective of this study is to state if there is a correlation between TMD and cervical dysfunction. To help reach a better diagnosis and a more holistic treatment. Forty volunteers (15 male and 25 female) between the ages of 20 to 40 were recruited. Cervical ROM was measured in all directions (rotation, flexion and extension, and sidebending) by CROM device, and a 10 cm plastic ruler marked in both centimeters and millimeters was used to measure TMJ vertical opening.
Exercise training that is one of the effective treatment methods for cervical pain, is crucial in developing mobility and stability. Exercise training significantly reduces cervical pain as it advances postural alignment and neuromuscular coordination. In many single group studies on cervical pain in violin performers, it has been reported that the stabilization exercises have favorable consequences on pain relief and postural correction. But, there are no studies comparing ney and violin performers and analyzing the effectiveness of exercise training on non-specific cervical pain. The aim of this study is to search the effects of selected exercise training on pain, disability, range of motion, flexibility, strength and quality of life in ney and violin performers with non-specific cervical pain.
Chronic neck pain causes errors in joint position sense. There are studies in the literature suggesting that instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization and Kinesiotape applications improve the joint position sense. There is no study examining these applications acutely on joint position sense and pain in the cervical region. As a result of our study, we will compare the effects of single-session instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization and Kinesiotape application on pain and joint position sense.
This investigation aims to investigate the effect of high intensity laser therapy on radicular symptoms, neuropathic pain, cervical range of motion and quality of life in patients with cervical radiculopathy compared to cervical therapeutic exercises.
Cervical orthoses are used to restrict motion for the purpose of preventing spinal instability following trauma or pre- and post-surgery or to protect from pain. Modern cervical orthoses are able to effectively restrict motion of the head however load is concentrated on areas of occipital tissue and may, with long term wear, lead to tissue breakdown in the form of pressure ulcers. Previous research has shown that the Miami J collar (Össur Americas Foothill Ranch, CA) effectively reduced cervical movement while providing superior pressure relief. As new cervical orthoses are developed and become commercially available it is useful to examine their performance in comparison to existing well-tested devices. DJO Global (Vista, CA) have recently developed a cervical collar. The purpose of this study is to compare the ability of this newly developed collar to restrict cervical range of motion while at the same time limit the tissue interface pressure exerted by the collar on patients when they are in an upright seated or supine position Data will be collected in a fully equipped 3D motion analysis laboratory. Cervical range of motion will be tracked and analyzed. Interface pressures between the head and collar will be measured using custom pressure mats.
The aim of this research is to compare the effects of craniocervical flexion exercises and scapular stabilization exercises in reducing neck pain and forward head posture among females wearing head scarves. Quasi experimental trials done at Akhtar Saeed Trust hospital, Falah o Behbud Associations and Medicare Hospital (Lahore, Pakistan). A sample size of 50 patients was taken using non-probability purposive sampling technique. Subjects were randomly divided into 2 groups. Subjects in group A were treated with craniocervical flexion exercises and the subjects in group B were treated with scapular stabilization exercises with 25 subjects in each group. Pretreatment evaluation was done using numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) and neck disability index (NDI) as subjective measurement and Goniometry for assisted range of motion (AROM) and plumb line method for measuring head posture as objective measurement. The baseline values for all dependent variables were recorded on day one and at the end of 4th week.
