A Study on the Therapeutic Effect of Lumbar Spine Motion Control Training for Physical Therapists with Head Forward Leaning
The aim of this study is to explore the effectiveness and degree of effectiveness of lumbar spine motion control training in improving head tilt of physical therapists(PT).Twenty patients with anterior tilt of the head were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group for a 4-week intervention.The experimental group underwent lumbar spine motion control training for 15 minutes,four days a week.Compare the angles of the craniocervical angle(CVA),range of motion of various cervical joints,values of the Cervical Dysfunction Index(NDI)scale,values of lumbar stability,and strength of the deep cervical flexor muscle group before and after training.After intervention treatment,the experimental group showed a significant increase in CVA angle,cervical flexion,extension,and lateral flexion range of motion,lumbar stability,and deep neck flexor muscle strength,with a significant decrease in NDI(P<0.01),indicating that lumbar spine motion control training can effectively improve PT head forward posture and reduce the risk of shoulder and neck pain.
