Mechanical neck dysfunction (MND), with axioscapular muscles fatigue, is highly prevalent worldwide. While postural correction is commonly used for its treatment, efficacy of kinesiology tape (KT) has received considerable attention.
To determine the effectiveness of KT versus correction exercises on neck disability, and axioscapular muscles fatigue in MND patients.
46 MND patients were randomly assigned into 1 of 2 groups receiving 4 weeks treatment of either KT or correction exercises. Neck disability and axioscapular muscles fatigue as median frequency of electromyography (EMG-MF) were measured pre and post treatment.
Group-by-time interaction was not significant in the multivariable test. Post hoc tests revealed that KT produced more disability reduction than the postural exercises. However, there was no significant interaction for EMG-MF.
KT has been found to be more effective than postural exercises to reduce neck disability. However, both modalities have similar effects to reduce axioscapular muscles fatigue.
机械性颈部功能障碍(MND)伴肩胛轴肌肉疲劳在全球范围内高度普遍。虽然姿势矫正常用于其治疗,但肌内效贴布(KT)的疗效受到了相当多的关注。
确定KT与矫正运动对MND患者颈部功能障碍和肩胛轴肌肉疲劳的有效性。
46例MND患者被随机分为两组,分别接受为期4周的KT或矫正运动治疗。在治疗前后测量颈部功能障碍和肩胛轴肌肉疲劳,以肌电图中位频率(EMG-MF)表示。
在多变量测试中,组间时间交互作用不显著。事后检验显示,KT比姿势运动更能减少功能障碍。然而,EMG-MF没有显著的交互作用。
已发现KT在减少颈部功能障碍方面比姿势运动更有效。然而,两种方式在减少肩胛轴肌肉疲劳方面具有相似的效果。
