The objective of this study was to determine the effects of cervical stabilisation exercises on respiratory strength in chronic neck pain patients with forward head posture. The study was conducted from August 2020 to February 2021, at the Jinnah Hospital, Lahore; 44 patients who fulfilled the eligibility criteria were randomly assigned to two groups-experimental group and control group-. Baseline measurement was taken for numeric pain rating scale, neck disability index, craniovertebral angle, single breath count, and spirometry and all the measurements were retaken at the completion of the fourth week. Results were not significant (p>0.05) before the treatment in both groups but post-intervention results revealed significant differences in both the groups (p<0.05), with the experimental group showing more improvement. Four weeks of cervical stabilisation with isometric exercises is more effective in the management of pain, forward head posture, neck disability and respiratory strength as compared with the four weeks of isometric exercises programme alone.
本研究旨在确定颈椎稳定练习对存在前伸头姿势的慢性颈痛患者呼吸力量的影响。该研究于 2020 年 8 月至 2021 年 2 月在拉合尔的真纳医院进行，共有 44 名符合入选标准的患者被随机分配到实验组和对照组。在第四周结束时，对数值疼痛评分量表、颈部残疾指数、颅颈角、单次呼吸计数和肺活量计进行了基线测量，并重新测量了所有测量值。在治疗前两组的结果均无显著差异（p>0.05），但干预后结果显示两组均有显著差异（p<0.05），实验组的改善更为明显。与单纯进行四周的等长运动方案相比，四周的颈椎稳定加等长运动对疼痛、前伸头姿势、颈部残疾和呼吸力量的管理更有效。
