[Purpose] This study proposed a new neck support tying (NST) method using Thera-Band for the prevention of neck and shoulder pain in workers doing overhead work. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the new NST method using Thera-Band on cervical ROM and shoulder pain after overhead work. [Subjects] Fourteen male subjects were recruited. [Methods] This study measured the cervical ROM and pressure pain threshold (PPT) of the upper and middle trapezius (UT and MT) muscles after the control and NST groups had performed overhead work. [Results] The cervical flexion, extension, and lateral flexion angles of the NST group were significantly larger than those of the control group. The PPTs of UT and MT of the NST group were significantly higher than those of the control group [Conclusion] The NST prevented ROM reduction and pain in the cervical and shoulder regions.
[目的] 本研究提出了一种使用弹力带的新型颈部支撑绑扎(NST)方法,用于预防从事高空作业的工人颈部和肩部疼痛。本研究的目的是调查使用弹力带的新型NST方法对高空作业后颈椎活动度(ROM)和肩部疼痛的影响。[对象] 招募了14名男性受试者。[方法] 本研究在对照组和NST组完成高空作业后,测量了颈椎ROM以及上斜方肌和中斜方肌(UT和MT)的压痛阈(PPT)。[结果] NST组的颈椎前屈、后伸和侧屈角度显著大于对照组。NST组UT和MT的PPT显著高于对照组。[结论] NST可防止颈部和肩部区域的ROM降低和疼痛。
