Reliability of a measurement of neck flexor muscle endurance.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Neck flexor muscle endurance has been negatively correlated with cervical pain and dysfunction. The purposes of this study were to determine rater reliability in subjects both with and without neck pain and to determine whether there was a difference in neck flexor muscle endurance between the 2 groups. SUBJECTS Forty-one subjects with and without neck pain were enrolle...
متن کاملComparison of the effect of a course of posture correction and strength exercises with emphasis on head and neck position on pain, neck muscle weakness and range of motion in inactive men with chronic neck pain.
Background and Objectives: In the last two decades, the prevalence of neck pain has been increasing and now it is considered the second musculoskeletal disorder after back pain. The general purpose of this research is to compare the effect of a course of posture correction and strength exercises with emphasis on the head and neck position on Pain, weakness of neck muscles and range of motion of...
متن کاملReliability of the Q Force; a mobile instrument for measuring isometric quadriceps muscle strength.
BACKGROUND The ability to generate muscle strength is a pre-requisite for all human movement. Decreased quadriceps muscle strength is frequently observed in older adults and is associated with a decreased performance and activity limitations. To quantify the quadriceps muscle strength and to monitor changes over time, instruments and procedures with a sufficient reliability are needed. The Q Fo...
متن کاملA comparison of training methods to increase neck muscle strength.
OBJECTIVE To compare two neck strength training modalities. BACKGROUND Neck injury in pilots flying high performance aircraft is a concern in aviation medicine. Strength training may be an effective means to strengthen the neck and decrease injury risk. METHODS The cohort consisted of 32 age-height-weight matched participants, divided into two experimental groups; the Multi-Cervical Unit (M...
متن کاملReliability of a device measuring triceps surae muscle fatigability.
OBJECTIVE To examine the test-retest reliability of a protocol using an apparatus designed to standardise the standing heel rise test for the triceps surae muscle. SUBJECTS 40 healthy subjects volunteered to test short and medium term test-retest reliability (group SM, median age 24 years), and a convenience sample of 38 subjects with a history of unilateral deep vein thrombosis (DVT) volunte...
