경부 저항운동과 안정화운동이 남성 만성 경부통환자들의 경부근력, 통증지수 변화에 미치는 영향

초록

In this study a 8-week exercise program was differently applied to 13 male patients with chronic neck pain from the resistance exercise group and 10 patients with the stabilization exercise group, and changes in cervical extension strength and visual analog scale(VAS) were measured. The analysis results are as follows. First, after the exercise program, the resistance exercise group showed an increase of 30.10% in cervical extension strength with significant differences at every angle, but the stabilization exercise group showed an increase of 3.25% only at an angle of 72 degrees(p<.05). Second, the resistance exercise group and the stabilization exercise group showed a decrease of 67.68% and 36.90% respectively in VAS, which means both groups had statistically significant differences(p<.001). These results indicate resistance exercise and stabilization exercise for improvement of chronic neck pain in male patients are positive in reducing pain markedly by increasing cervical extension strength.
