Abstract

|
Objectives: We investigated the possibility of cervical spine misalignment caused by Scalenus anticus syndrome to find out the Scalenus anticus syndrome could effect misalignment of cervical spine.
Methods: 18 patients with Scalenus anticus syndrome who attended Dept. of Oriental Rehabilitation Medicine, College of Oriental Medicine, Dong-guk University from 20th June to 10th September 2006, were involved in the investigation. After researching misalignment through neutrality lateral, flexion lateral, extension lateral x-ray examination views, we measured difference of length of cervical spine misalignment. We analyzed the difference of length of cervical spine misalignment, and the relationship among the neutrality lateral, flexion lateral and extension lateral position.
Results: Lateral flexion and lateral extension position were shown higher frequency than neutrality position in cervical spine misalignment. We got the statistical significance in the difference of length of cervical spine misalignment by position changes, it showed that C3, C4 vertebra bodies in lateral neutrality position, C2, C3, C4, C5 vertebra bodies in flexion lateral position, C3-5 vertebra bodies in extension lateral position.
Conclusions: It was considered that scalenus anticus syndrome could increase cervical spine misalignment which could be a factor of making in cervical spine disease.
