[Purpose] This study compared the cervical range of motion and cervical FRR between computer users in their early and late 20s in Korea. [Subjects] Eleven male and 7 female computer users in their early 20s and 10 male and 6 female computer users in their late 20s participated in this study. [Methods] All cervical ROM measurements were taken with a Cervical Range of Motion Instrument. Electromyographic (EMG) data were obtained for analyzing the FR ratio. [Results] Cervical extension, right and left lateral flexion, and right and left rotation in the late 20s computer users were significantly lower compared with the cervical motions in the early 20s computer users. The cervical FRR in the late 20s computer users was significantly lower compared with the cervical FRR in the early 20s computer users. [Conclusion] This study was conducted to be prepared that the possibility for young computer generations in Korea could easily develop chronic neck pain.
[目的] 本研究比较了韩国20岁出头和快30岁的电脑使用者的颈椎活动范围和颈椎FRR。[对象] 11名20岁出头的男性和7名20岁出头的女性电脑使用者，以及10名快30岁的男性和6名快30岁的女性电脑使用者参与了本研究。[方法] 所有颈椎活动度测量均使用颈椎活动度测量仪进行。获取肌电图（EMG）数据以分析FR比值。[结果] 快30岁的电脑使用者的颈椎后伸、左右侧屈以及左右旋转与20岁出头的电脑使用者的颈椎活动相比显著降低。快30岁的电脑使用者的颈椎FRR与20岁出头的电脑使用者的颈椎FRR相比显著降低。[结论] 进行本研究是为了防范韩国年轻一代电脑使用者可能容易患上慢性颈部疼痛的可能性。
