“…The present study was done on a subset of subjects from a larger RCT comparing two exercise programmes prescribed in conjunction with a single session of manual therapy, to determine if a specific augmentative exercise programme would better augment the effects of the manual therapy intervention than a non‐specific general neck ROM exercise. The primary study associated with the present trial found no difference in pain or disability outcomes between the two interventions (Petersen et al, ). The specific exercise was prescribed to augment the manual therapy intervention by targeting the same levels and facilitating motion in the same direction as the impairment.…”

“…Previous studies examining ST muscle strength following manual therapy intervention showed improvements immediately after application of the technique but as no longer‐term follow‐up was done, the duration of these changes is unknown (Cleland et al, ; Liebler et al, ). The combination of manual therapy and exercise has previously been reported to effect change in self‐reported measures of pain and disability over 96 hours (Petersen et al, ). In the current study, we observed strength changes over a 96‐hour period.…”

“…The present trial was a component of a larger randomized clinical trial (RCT) involving participants who were treated with manual therapy and a home exercise programme (HEP) for mechanical neck pain. The primary study is registered at clinicaltrials.gov #NCT01750736 (Petersen et al, ).…”

“…It was performed pragmatically in an effort to address each subject's specific motion limitation by improving intervertebral mobility and/or associated concordant pain. This approach of having the treating clinician choose the manual intervention based on clinical judgement has been used in previous studies (Leaver et al, ; Petersen et al, ). Interventions were directed toward the cervical spine and consisted of passive intervertebral thrust manipulation or non‐thrust manipulation, as described by Maitland et al ().…”

Introduction: Scapulothoracic muscle weakness has been associated with neck pain (NP). Little evidence exists regarding lower trapezius (LT), middle trapezius (MT) and serratus anterior (SA) strength in this population. LT strength changes have been observed following thoracic manipulation in healthy subjects. The purpose of the present study was to examine scapulothoracic strength changes following cervical manipulation in subjects with NP. Methods: Twenty-two subjects with NP and 17 asymptomatic control (AC) subjects underwent strength testing of the LT, MT and SA using a hand-held dynamometer. Subjects with NP were treated with passive intervertebral neck manipulation and neck range of motion exercises. The AC group received no intervention. Strength testing was repeated after manipulation, then 48 and 96 hours later. Change scores were calculated for strength over time. Paired t-tests were done for strength change between painful and non-painful sides in the NP group. Independent t-tests were done for strength change between the NP group and AC group. Results: There was no significant difference between groups for age, gender, hand dominance or body mass index. Mean (standard deviation) symptom duration for subjects in the NP group was 43.27 (62.71) months. There was no significant difference in strength change over time between painful and non-painful sides in the NP group for any muscle; however, there was a significant difference in strength change over time between those in the NP group and AC group for the LT (p < 0.01), SA (p < 0.01) and MT (p < 0.01). Discussion: Scapulothoracic muscle strength improvements were observed in both extremities following passive intervertebral neck manipulation and neck range of motion exercises. Improvements lasted up to 96 hours following manipulation, even though no strengthening exercises were prescribed. Conclusions: Manipulation and range of motion should be considered as a component of intervention programmes for patients with NP and scapulothoracic muscle weakness. Future studies should compare manipulation alone to exercise alone to determine impact on strength.

Key words: primary care physician, physiotherapy, back pain syndromes. Summary
