The Relationship of Range of Flexion-Extension Motion of the Cervical Spine to Thermal Asymmetry of the Upper Body Surface in Patients with Cervical Herniated Nucleus Pulposus
Abstract: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 t… Show more
