“…In a similar study related to cervical stabilizing exercise in the standing position, Kjellman and Öberg conducted McKenzie exercises for three weeks for 77 patients with neck pain, and reported reduced pain intensity and Neck Disability Index 14) . Wright et al (2000) reported that temporomandibular disorder (TMD) patients, who both TMD self-management and posture training, improved TM joint and neck pain as well as trapezius and masseter pain, compared to the patients who only did TMD self-management 8) . However, the chin tucks performed in this study were only used for posture training.…”

“…The cervical stabilizing exercise in the standing position was a modified version of a chin tuck that Wright et al 8) suggested for correcting cervical position. This exercise involves leaning against a wall and maintaining a normal curve of the waist and pelvic area, placing a 5-mm thick notebook or book behind the head, and tucking the chin while maintaining the book against the wall with the whole head.…”

Abstract.[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to clarify the effect of cervical stabilizing exercises in the standing position and the supine position on the strength and endurance of deep neck muscles (DNM).[Subjects] Twenty subjects performed cervical stabilizing exercises in the standing position (standing group) and 20 subjects performed cervical stabilizing exercises in the supine position (supine group).[Methods] The subjects did cervical stabilizing exercises in the standing or the supine position three times a week for a total of six weeks. Before and after the experiment, strength and endurance were measured.[Results] Both the standing group and the supine group showed increased strength and endurance after the intervention. However, there was no significant difference in the strength and endurance of the two groups before or after the intervention, or in the pre-post intervention differences.[Conclusion] For cervical strength and endurance improvement, treatment is generally given in the supine position. However, the exercise in the standing position was also effective. Therefore, if there are spatial or equipment limitations, the exercise in the standing position should be taught as an exercise method for the home or office.

“…Bu bağlamda derin servikal fleksörler ve omuz retraktörlerinin güçlendirilmesi, servikal ekstansörler ve pektoral kasların gerilmesi ile kaslar arasındaki dengesizlik giderilmeli ve düzgün hareket paterni elde edilmelidir. Çeşitli çalışmalarda boyun ve omuz çevresi kaslarda germe ve güçlendirme egzersizleri ile omuz ve servikal postürde düzelmeler sağlanmıştır (45)(46)(47)(48). Sırt üstü yatarken chin tuck (çene sıkıştırma) egzersizi ile egzersizlere başlanır.…”

Neck pain, although it is seen less frequently than back pain, has been increasing in recent years due to sedentary living conditions. Neck pain is usually treated conservatively. Analgesics and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), in combination with other drugs, and physical therapy modalities, such as TENS, heat treatment, manipulation, and mobilization, are the most common options in the treatment of neck pain. However, many reasons, such as failure to treat the defects that lead to pain or long-term pain resulting in muscle weakness, postural disorders, and decrease in range of motion, may cause pain persistence and chronicity. Neck exercises, therefore, play a key role in the treatment of painful or painless neck pathologies. Exercise programs that are suitable for disease-induced disorders should be prescribed by a specialist. It is essential that the controls should be monitored regularly, and the exercises at each stage should be revised and restructured. It is worth bearing in mind that while editing exercise programs, the thoracic spine, shoulder joint, and temporomandibular joint should be taken into consideration, which are in close relation with the neck. Key Words: Neck pain, exercise prescribing, cervical region ÖzetBoyun ağrısı, bel ağrısından daha az görülmekle birlikte özellikle sedanter yaşam koşulları nedeniyle son yıllarda gittikçe artan oranlarda görülmektedir. Boyun ağrılarının tedavisi genellikle konservatiftir. Analjezik ve nonsteroid antiinflamatuar ilaçlarla (NSAİİ) birlikte diğer ilaçlar, transkütanöz elektriksel sinir stimülasyonu (TENS), ısı uygulamaları, manipülasyon ve mobilizasyon gibi fizik tedavi yöntemleri boyun ağrılarının tedavisinde en sık başvurulan tedavi seçenekleridir. Ancak ağrıya yol açan bozukluğun düzeltilmemesi veya uzun süreli ağrılarda ortaya çıkan kas güçsüzlüğü, postüral bozukluklar, eklem hareket açıklıklarında azalma gibi birçok neden ağrının devamına ve kronikleşmesine neden olabilmektedir. Boyun egzersizleri bu nedenle ağrılı ya da ağrısız boyun patolojilerinin tedavisinde anahtar rol oynamaktadırlar. Hastalığın yol açtığı bozukluklara uygun egzersiz programları uzman hekim tarafından reçete edilmelidir İstenen sonucun düzenli kontrollerle takibi ve egzersizlerin her aşamada gözden geçirilerek yeniden yapılandırılması çok önemlidir. Egzersiz programları düzenlenirken boyun bölgesi ile yakın komşulukta olan torakal bölge, omuz eklemi ve temporomandibüler eklem de göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Boyun ağrısı, egzersiz reçetesi, servikal bölge

“…But other studies 16,17 do assert that the occlusion exerts an influence on the pressures applied through the feet; -many studies refer to a supposed correlation between malfunction of the masticatory apparatus and an anterior positioning of the head 18,50,53,91 . These correlations should make clinicians consider the advisability of integrating the evaluation and treat ment of postural defects at the same time they are correcting discrepancies in the masticatory system 18,45,48,104 ;…”
