Objective To evaluate the effect of exercise therapy based on neck strength exercises on exercise inter-vention for cervical spondylosis in college students.Methods A total of 31 male college students diagnosed with non-acute cervical spondylosis were recruited and randomly divided(by the odd and even number method)into a control group(tradi-tional exercise therapy focusing on joint movement and muscle relaxation)and a study group(exercise therapy focusing on strength exercises for muscle traction around the neck)for 18 weeks.The VAS(visual assessment of pain in cervical spondy-losis)and JOA(Japanese Orthopaedic Association)scores were observed before and after the intervention respectively for analysis.Results Before the intervention,there were no significant differences in JOA and VAS scores between the two groups(both P＞0.05).After 18 weeks of exercise therapy intervention,the JOA score of the study group was(14.31±0.94),which was significantly higher than that(10.0±1.26)before the intervention(t=-9.70,P＜0.001).After the intervention,the JOA score of the study group was higher than that of the control group(t=8.15,P＜0.01).Before the intervention,there was no significant difference in VAS scores between the two groups(P＞0.05),but after the intervention,the VAS scores in the study group were(2.88±0.95),which was significantly lower than that(7.75±0.77)before the intervention(t=14.33,P＜0.01).After the intervention,the VAS score of the study group was lower than that of the control group(t=-6.18,P＜0.01).Conclusion The improvement effect of neck strength exercise on cervical radiculopathy in 16 male college students is better than that of traditional exercise therapy.
