Abstract:
Objective To explore the effects of the cervical vertebra rehabilitation gymnastics on patients with different types of cervical spondylosis (CS). Methods 203 patients with different types of CS were selected. They were trained with rehabilitation gymnastics. The electrophysiological examination of neck-shoulder muscles were used to evaluate the effects 3 and 6 months after training. Results The peak of electrophysiological action potential of neck- shoulder muscles was significantly different in all the types of CS patients (P<0.001), as well as the conduction velocity of action potential (P<0.05) before and 3, 6 months after training. There was significantly different in scores of subjective symptoms in sympathetic cervical spondylosis and cervical spondylotic radiculopathy patients (P<0.001), but was not in the other types (P>0.05) before and 3, 6 months after training. Conclusion The cervical vertebra rehabilitation gymnastics can promote blood circulation of neck-shoulder muscles, relieve muscle spasm and ease the symptoms, especially for patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy and sympathetic cervical spondylosis.
