Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立體育大學 === 運動科學研究所 === 105 === Impaired cervical proprioception is usually been found in neck pain patients and affect neck and head posture control ability, result in repeated pain and leads to chronic neck pain which causing a heavy burden on individual, social and whole country costs. In clinically, eye movement and neck stabilization exercise are used to treat chronic neck pain. Eye circular exercise is a new eye movement and there is no research to discuss the effect of it. Purpose: This study aimed to compare the acute treatment effect of eye circular exercise and neck stabilization exercise for chronic neck pain patients. Methods: Thirty-two subjects with chronic neck pain were recruited, sixteen randomized arranged to eye circular exercise group and sixteen to stabilization exercise group. All subjects were examined and received one time exercise course. Cervical range of motion(CROM), pain(VAS), head-to-neutral position error were measured before and after intervention. Result: After intervention, eye circular exercise show decreases of pain intensity(p=0.06) and head to neutral position error in generally(p=0.1), the stabilization exercise group show a significant decrease of pain intensity(p<0.0001). There is no significant change in CROM in both groups. No significant different was found between two groups on CROM, pain and head to neutral position error. Conclusion: There is an acute effect of neck stabilization exercise in this study on pain, but there is no significant difference between the acute effect of two groups on CROM, pain and head to neutral position error.
