Detailed 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.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: forward neck posture syndrome patients Patients diagnosed with forward neck posture syndrome in cervical plain X-ray have a cervical spine extension exercise for 4 weeks |
Behavioral: cervical spine extension exercise
cervical spine extension exercise for 4 weeks
|
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change from 8 Channel Surface Electromyography at 4 weeks [when patient enrolled and after 4 weeks]
measure the area and extent of muscle activation around the cervical vertebrae according to posture
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change the angle of cervical vertebrae from plain x-ray at 8 weeks [when patient enrolled and after 8 weeks]
measure the angle of cervical vertebrae
Eligibility Criteria
