Effect of the short and intensive rehabilitation (SHAiR) program on dynamic alignment in patients with dropped head syndrome during level walking

The purpose of this study was to assess the change dynamic alignment after short and intensive rehabilitation (SHAiR) program in patients with dropped head syndrome (DHS). Eighteen DHS who complained their inability maintain horizontal gaze underwent SHAiR program. Patients performed level walking at a self-selected speed. Spatiotemporal, kinematic, kinetic data were recorded using three-dimensional motion analysis system. Statistical compare these before Those showed significant increase angle stride length compared pre-treatment measurements (p < 0.05). modifies malalignment neck spatiotemporal parameters during walking.
