Development of a Rehabilitation Instrument of Neurological Training for Cervical Spine

Abstract

Objective: To develop a kind self active resistance movement training equipment for cervical spine, so as to restore the dynamic balance of the front and back muscle strength of the cervical spine in order to correct the abnormal physiological radian of the cervical spine, thereby relieving the clinical symptoms. Methods: The air spring with adjustable strength was used to provide the power of resistance active movement, and the neurological training cervical audio-visual synthesis training software was used to automatically guide patients to perform resistance active movement training of the cervical spine. Thirty two patients with cervical spondylosis were enrolled for treatment, and SPSS26 was used to statistically analyze the VAS, Lovett muscle strength, head and neck range of motion and C2-3 vertebral body curvature before and after the treatment. Result: There were significant differences in posterior cervical muscle strength (Lovett), dizziness, shoulder and neck pain (VAS) and C2-3 vertebral curvature before and after training in 32 patients (p ˂ 0.001). Conclusion: The application of neurological training cervical vertebra self rehabilitation training instrument can effectively relieve clinical symptoms, restore head and neck range of motion, improve nape muscle strength, restore the dynamic balance of front and rear cervical muscle strength, and also can correct the abnormal physiological radian of the cervical vertebra.
