Observation on the Effect of Freehand Anti-resistance Exercises Combined with Relaxation of Tendons and Rectification in the Treatment of Cervical Spondylosis
Objective To explore the effect of freehand anti-resistance exercises combined with relaxation of tendons and rectification techniques in the treatment of cervical spondylosis.Methods In total,98 patients with cervical spondylosis treated from April 2021 to October 2023 were selected and divided into observation group(n=49)and control group(n=49)according to random number table method.The control group was given freehand resistance exercise,and the observation group was given freehand resistance exercise combined with relaxation of tendons and rectification techniques.Both groups were treated for 4 weeks.After treatment,the clinical effects of the two groups were compared,including symptoms and signs score,neck disability index(NDI)score,Spitzer Quality of Life index(SQOL)score,cervical curvature,Clinical Assess-ment Scale of Cervical spondylosis(CASCS)score,cervical motion and hemodynamics before and after treatment.Results The total effective rate of the observation group was 95.92%(47/49),which was higher than that of the control group[81.63%(40/49)],suggesting significant difference(P<0.05).At 2 weeks and 4 weeks after treatment,the scores of neck pain,neck tenderness and neck motion in observation group were lower than those in control group,while Borden value and CASCS scores were higher than those in control group(P<0.05).At 2 weeks and 4 weeks after treatment,range of mo-tion of the right flexion,forward flexion,left flexion,right flexion and posterior extension of the observation group was higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).The average blood flow velocity of left vertebral artery,basilar artery and right ver-tebral artery in observation group was higher than that in control group at 2 weeks and 4 weeks after treatment(P<0.05).The SQOL score of the observation group was higher than that of the control group at 4 weeks after treatment(P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusion Freehand anti-resistance exercises combined with relaxation of tendons and rectification techniques in the treatment of cervical spondylosis can improve cervical motion,restore normal curvature and function of cervical spine,ad-just hemodynamics,reduce clinical symptoms,and improve quality of life.
