“…Ro et al conducted correlation analyses on C-HNP patients and their results indicate that as ARA decreases, AWB increases (r= -0.80): The results of our present study also showed a strong negative correlation (r= -0.70) in that as ARA decreased, AWB increased 11) . The fact that the results of the present study are similar to the results of the study by Ro et al even though the subjects of our study were not C-HNP patients indicates the severity of the stress imposed on the cervical spines of college students.…”

Abstract. [Purpose] This study used radiometry to examine the effects of cervical lordosis and forward head posture (FHP) angles on vital capacity, equilibrium and ROM of the thoracic spine, and to explore the correlations between each of these factors.[Subjects]The subjects of this study were 36 college students in their twenties (male=16, female=20). [Subjects and Methods]Cervical lordosis angles and FHPs were analyzed with lateral view radiographs. Measures were taken of vital capacity, equilibrium and the range of motion of the thoracic spine and the results were analyzed.[Results]As the absolute rotation angle (ARA) decreased, the anterior weight-bearing angle (AWB) increased while vital capacity (VC) decreased. The results of this study indicate that as the range of motion of the thoracic spine from neutral to flexion increases, the ROM from neutral to extension also increases, and as the ROM from neutral to extension increases, the angle from flexion to extension also increases. [Conclusion]As faulty head and neck postures of subjects affected not only the dynamic stress of their neck but also their vital lung capacity, it is recommended that ARA and AWB angles should be considered when aligning posture in the treatment of impaired vital capacity.

“…In the present study, a significantly decreased RFEM was found in the HNP compared with the control group. This finding is agreement with a previous study 15) showing remarkably reduced flexion and extension in patients with cervical HNP compared with normal subjects. This result may be due to an abnormal alignment of the cervical spine resulting from an increased forward head posture in patients with HNP 15) .…”

a These authors contributed equally to this work.Abstract. [Purpose] This study examines the relationship between the range of flexion-extension motion (RFEM) of the cervical spine and skin temperature differences of the right and left sides of the upper trapezius (UT), TB (triceps brachii), PM (pectoralis major), and BB (biceps brachii) regions in patients with cervical herniated nucleus pulposus (HNP). Another aim was to identify the differences between patients with HNP and normal subjects in the RFEM of the cervical spine and skin temperature differences of the right and left sides of the UT, TB, PM, and BB regions.[Subjects] A total of 15 patients with cervical HNP (mean age, 35.8±6.0 years; age range, 28-43 years) and 15 normal subjects (mean age, 33.6±7.95 years; age range, 25-40 years) volunteered to participate in this study.[Methods] The RFEM of the cervical spine for both the HNP and control groups was obtained through lateral radiograph. The average temperature differences between the right and left upper body surfaces were also obtained in the UT, TB, PM, and BB using digital infrared thermographic imagine (DITI). [Results] There was a strong negative correlation between REFM and skin temperature differences of the right and left sides of the UT, TB, and BB in the HNP group. In addition, the HNP group demonstrated statistically significantly lower RFEM and greater thermal asymmetry in all measured body surfaces compared to the control group. [Conclusion] The results from the present study suggest that the use of DITI appears to be a useful and noninvasive approach in the diagnosis of cervical HNP.

Abstract. [Purpose] This study was conducted in order to examine the correlations between cervical lordosis angles (Absolute Rotation Angle, ARA, forward head posture, FHP, Anterior Weight Bearing, AWB), the range of flexion and extension (RFEM), the strength and endurance of the deep neck flexor (DNF) and cervical pain. [Subjects] The study enrolled 24 university students (female: 12, male:12) aged in their 20s.[Methods] ARA, AWB and RFEM were analyzed using radiographs of lateral views. Strength and endurance were assessed using a Pressure Biofeedback Unit (PBU) and cervical pain and physical functions were assessed using the Neck Disability Index (NDI).[Results]As ARA increased, extension and RFEM also increased, and as AWB decreased, extension and endurance increased. As extension increased, RFEM and endurance increased and NDI decreased. As flexion became larger, RFEM and NDI increased, and as RFEM increased, endurance increased.[Conclusion] The study results indicate that the posture of the cervical spine affects the endurance rather than the strength of the DNF. Therefore, as therapeutic interventions to enhance the endurance of the DNF, posture control to reduce AWB and approaches to increase extension and RFEM should be considered.
