THE EFFECT OF TRACTION THERAPY FOR PATIENT”S CORE MUSCLES WITH NECK PAIN
To evaluate the curative efficiency of cervical traction treating neck pain patient for the neck superficial and core muscles.30 cases with neck pain were random sampling in out-patient.All of them got neck traction therapy for a total of l0 treatments.Neck superficial and core muscles strength were evaluated by manual muscle testing and stabilizer biofeedback unit respectively.In the statistical analysis, There were great significant differences of core muscles strength between the 1st treatment comparing to the initiate, 1st treatment to 5th treatment, 5th treatment to 10th treatment.Meanwhile, the superficial muscles (both neck flexors and extensors) have no significant differences between any of the four data respectively.These findings indicate that the neck traction can break the pain-guarding reflex in core muscles and increase the stability of the neck spine.
