EFFECT OF EYE-HEAD COUPLING EXERCISES ON CERVICOCEPHALIC KINESTHESIA IN CHRONIC MECHANICAL NECK PAIN

Master Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction. The existence of a tight coupling between gaze orientation and neck muscle activity has been well documented in humans. This coordination between eye and neck motor function strongly suggests that rehabilitation program based on eye-head coupling are more appropriate to facilitate neck proprioception rehabilitation, and subsequently reduce neck pain. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to clarify the importance of an eye-head coupling based rehabilitation program in the treatment of chronic mechanical neck pain. Procedures. A comparison was held between two groups of neck pain patients (A&B). Both groups received a traditional physical therapy program but group (B) received an eye-head coupling based rehabilitation program in addition. Treatment outcome was determined from: 1) scores of Neck Pain And Disability Scale (NPAD) as a self reported measure, 2) absolute angular error (AAE) in horizontal plane, and 3) absolute angular error (AAE) in sagittal plane. Results. The results showed a statistically significant decrease in the scores of (NPAD) scale in both groups (A&B) with greater decrease in group (B). No statistical significant decrease in the (AAE) in the group (A) in both horizontal and sagittal planes, while there was statistical significant decrease in the (AAE) in both horizontal and sagittal planes in group (B). Conclusion. It was concluded that combining a traditional physical therapy program with an eye-head coupling based rehabilitation program is important for improvement of chronic mechanical neck pain. Key Words: neck pain, cervical, kinesthesia, eye-head coupling exercises, absolute angular error.

PREDICTORS OF SHOULDER INJURIES IN COLLEGIATE SWIMMERS

PHD Abstract

ABSTRACT Background.Shoulder pain and associated glenohumeral (GH) joint movement dysfunctions are common and debilitating conditions. Competitive swimming is a sport long popular all over the world. Shoulder pain is the most common orthopedic problem in competitive swimming. Purpose. purpose of this study was to provide descriptive information about characteristics of swimmers and identify significant predictors that were associated with collegiate swimmers shoulder problems. Methods. This study was conducted on 30 collegiate swimmers aging between 17 to 22 years (16 male and 14 female) of Cairo University throughout the season 2011-2012. Subjects were examined at the beginning of the season then followed up through the whole season (8 months). At the end of the season 9 swimmers (30%) had shoulder injuries that interfered with training or competition. Swimmers were divided into two groups, injured (n=9) and non-injured (n=21). Results. ANOVA test was used to compare between groups. The results indicate non- significant difference in age, swimming years, tightness of pectoralis minor, shoulder internal and external rotation, shoulder isometric muscle strength, scapular posture symmetry, and shoulder functional performance between groups. The results indicate significant difference in exposure and shoulder horizontal adduction between groups, indicating a significant association between exposure and shoulder horizontal adduction with incidence of shoulder injury. Conclusion. Exposure and shoulder horizontal adduction are significant predictors of shoulder injuries in colligate swimmers * Key words: Swimmer's shoulder, Shoulder Injury, scapular posture symmetry
