Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical results produced by a training protocol with the new device for cervical treatment (CDAT) and the conventional training protocol (CT) versus a control group (C) in subjects with cervical deep muscle strength deficit and mild neck disability.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Cervical pain is in many cases a decrease in the quality of life.The cervical spine is the most mobile region of the spine which also must be strong enough in order to support the weight of the skull. Deficits in deep cervical muscle strength are related to different clinical conditions: cervicogenic dizziness, cervical radiculopathy, cervical mechanical-chronic, cervical pain and cervical instability. Training protocols can help to improve pain, cervical function, posture and cross-sectional area. However, there are no training protocols in subjects with mild disability and strength deficit of the deep cervical muscle, including deep neck extensor and flexor muscles. The cervical device treatment (CDAT) allows us to train the cervical flexor and extensor muscle in a simple and comfortable way.
