진동 슬링 운동이 비특이성 목통증 환자의 목 기능 장애 개선 및 통증에 미치는 영향

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare the vibration-induced stimulation group(SVEG) and the vibration-free group(SEG) during sling exercise with 24 patients who have non-specific neck pain. The effectiveness of vibration-stimulated sling exercise was investigated by comparing the effects on the muscular endurance, neck disability, pain and cervical range motion(CROM) between two groups. The subjects of the study were divided in half(n=12) and randomly assigned in each group. muscular endurance, neck disability, pain and cervical range motion(CROM) were measured before intervention and 3 and 6 weeks after exercise, respectively. Both groups performed sling exercises with 4 types of movements for 6 weeks, 30 minutes per session and twice a week. Only in the SVEG, the sling was vibrated with a frequency of 25~35Hz. As a result, it was found that cervical stabilization exercise using slings had effects on muscular endurance, neck disability, pain and cervical range motion(CROM) for both groups but SVEG was more effective. Through the results, sling exercise using vibration stimulation in various directions could be proposed as a therapeutic exercise method that improves functional ability and reduces pain
