8주간의 등허리부 저항성 운동이 목뼈 척추원반 탈출증 여성 환자의 목 장애지수와 척추 정렬, 정적 균형 능력에 미치는 영향

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 8-week thoracolumbar resistance exercise program on neck disability index(NDI), spinal alignment and static balance ability in patients with cervical herniation of intervertebral disc. The exercise program performed thoracolumbar exercise 3times a week for 8-weeks and consisted of a total of 60minutes. The subjects of this study were 20 middle-aged women patients diagnosed with cervical herniation intervertebral disc. The results of this study were as follows. NDI was significantly decreased in both groups after exercise, and it was more significantly improved in TRG than in CG(p<.001). As for spinal alignment, the cranial vertebra angle (CVA), cranial rotation angle (CRA), and lumbar vertebrae angle (LLA) were significantly changed only in TRG after exercise, and TRG was significantly improved than CG(p<.001). Static balance ability was significantly changed only in TRG after exercise, and TRG was significantly improved than CG(p<.001). These results indicated that thoracolumbar resistance exercise program in patients with cervical herniation of intervertebral disc have the positive effect on changed in NDI, spinal alignment, and static balance ability. Therefore, thoracolumbar resistance exercise is considered to be an effects as exercise therapy program for improvement of cervical herniation of intervertebral disc patients.
