Abstract

Purpose The present study analyses the kinematics of patients with neck problems and healthy controls by estimation of Finite Helical Axis behaviour. A cross sectional study design was used to investigate whether FHA behaviour differs due to neck problems.

Methods

584 subjects were recruited from private and ambulatory institutional physiotherapy practices. Among these 171 patients with neck related problems were selected based on referral diagnosis by primary care general practitioners. Cervical kinematics were compared based on minimal convex hull, path length and mean angle of the Finite Helical Axis distribution as well as on the helical angle. Three active planar motions were registered: flexion–extension, axial rotation and lateral bending.

Results

Patients demonstrated a significantly reduced and less variable behaviour of the Finite Helical Axis during active flexion–extension and axial rotation motions as compared to healthy individuals and lateral bending.

Conclusion

Patients with neck related problems demonstrate a more restricted motion behaviour with less variability in Finite Helical Axis distribution and orientation during active planar motions. At present it is not clear whether these kinematic differences are the result or the cause of dysfunction.

Positive Daten für supraskapulären Nervenblock bei Schultersteife

Daten einer aktuellen Metaanalyse sprechen dafür, dass eine Blockade des Nervus suprascapularis bei Schultersteife mit Blick auf Funktion und Schmerzlinderung mindestens so effektiv ist wie eine Physiotherapie oder intraartikulär injizierte Steroide.
