Trial Outcomes & Findings for Cervical Activation During Elastic and Manual Resistance (NCT NCT02124304)
NCT ID: NCT02124304
Last Updated: 2016-02-09
Results Overview
8 muscles during 12 exercises were analyzed in 30 subjects, totaling 2880 data points. At the beginning of the study, peak activation (PA) was assessed for each muscle during full flexion-extension, used as a reference exercise. For each subject, the EMG signals of the muscles during the 12 exercises were smoothed, rectified and analyzed using a root-mean-square algorithm and the greatest activation of each muscle was used. After the PA for each muscle was determined, it was compared to the PA of the reference exercise for the respective muscle group, and expressed as a percent of the peak activation (%PA). In some cases the %PA is greater than 100%. This is possible as the PA was assessed during a full flexion-extension movement. During an exercise some muscles generated greater PA and therefore when the calculations were performed the %PA was greater than 100%. Due to the extensive amount of data, we have provided the Left Cervical Paraspinals %PA results for each exercise.

Cervical Neck Pain
Thera-Band elastic and manual resistance neck exercises for neck strengthening
Neck exercises using both manual and Thera-Band elasatic resistance: Exercises will include cervical flexion and extension, and cervical right and left side-bending, and rotation. All 6 exercises will be done with both manual and elastic (Thera-Band) resistance.Manual Resistance is applied by the subject placing their own hand on their head and pushing in to it. Thera-Band bands will be used to provide elastic resistance

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: 12 exercises during one 1 hour sessionThera-Band(R) RISE (Resistance Intensity Scale for Exercise) Scale to measure amount of perceived exertion during resistance band exercises. Participants were asked to rate the intensity of an exercise on a scale from 0 to 10, 0 being no resistance and 10 being the maximum resistance.
