Clinical Trial Summary

Analysis of Abnormal Muscle Activities on Forward Neck Posture Syndrome Patients and Effect of Neck Extension Exercise Using 8 Channel Surface Electromyography

Description:

In this study, the investigators investigate the muscle contraction according to posture change in patients with forward neck posture syndrome which was not revealed by 8 channel surface electromyography and provide accurate evaluation of forward neck posture syndrome in comparison with normal group and to be used as basic research data for the development of 8 channel electric stimulation therapy device.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change from 8 Channel Surface Electromyography at 4 weeks	measure the area and extent of muscle activation around the cervical vertebrae according to posture	when patient enrolled and after 4 weeks
Secondary	Change the angle of cervical vertebrae from plain x-ray at 8 weeks	measure the angle of cervical vertebrae	when patient enrolled and after 8 weeks
