Immediate Effects of Cervical Mobilization on Acoustic Properties and Performance in Voice Training Students

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was investigation of immediate effects of cervical mobilization on acoustic properties and performance in voice training students. 
 Material-Method: The research was conducted on 15 female volunteer students. Acoustic properties of the voice, performance and neck mobility were evaluated. Cervical mobilization was performed by an experienced physiotherapist. Then the assessments were repeated. 
 Results: There was a significant change in cervical mobilization and performance after mobilization, no significant difference was found in the acoustic properties of the voice. 
 Conclusion: It was observed that a single session of cervical mobilization positively affected performance and cervical mobility.
