|
|
Purpose: The present study aimed to investigate the effects of stretching on the range of motion and pain in the neck and
to present an effective stretching technique.
Methods: The subjects of this study were 17 adult in South Korea. Measurements of ROM, VAS, RAC of neck were taken prior to the program, in the 8th weeks(3 time/week) after the neck stretching training program was finished, and after the program. CROM Instrument(C5060, Performance Attainment Associates) was used for measuring the range of motion in the neck. Neck pain was measured as the pressure threshold by using the VAS and REMANUFACTURED ALGOMETER COMMANDER(RAC).
Results: Neck range of motion showed a significant increase in flexion in the standing position(p<0.05), but the other categories did not show any significant differences(p>0.05). Neck pain showed a significant decrease in the VAS(p<0.05). RAC showed a significant increase in left SCM(p<0.05) and significant decrease in right supraspinatus(p<0.05), but the other categories did not show any significant differences(p>0.05).
