Changes in cervical muscle activity according to the traction force of an air-inflatable neck traction device
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to analyze cervical muscle activity at different traction forces of an air-inflatable neck traction device. [Subjects] Eighteen males participated in this study. [Methods] The subjects put on an air-inflatable neck traction device and the traction forces administered were 40, 80, and 120 mmHg. The electromyography (EMG) signals of the splenius capitis, an...
متن کاملChanges in Neck Muscle Thickness Due to Differences in Intermittent Cervical Traction Force Measured by Ultrasonography
[Purpose] Many patients receive intermittent cervical traction in a daily treatment setting. However, unified settings for traction force, duration, and direction have yet to be determined. Therefore, an objective index is required to determine changes in traction conditions or to indicate its effectiveness. [Subjects] Fifteen healthy males volunteers participated in this study. [Methods] The t...
متن کاملChanges in joint space width during Kaltenborn traction according to traction grade in healthy adults
[Purpose] The aim of this study was to analyze the joint space width of the humeral head and glenoid fossa during traction under 2 grade conditions (grade 2/grade 3). [Subjects and Methods] The subjects were 20 healthy male adults who had not experienced any shoulder injury. Three radiographs were obtained with the subjects in the supine position (resting, grades 2 and 3). The glenohumeral join...
متن کاملTraction device to improve CT imaging of lower cervical spine.
CT demonstration of lower cervical spine detail is often limited by a streak artifact created by the shoulders within the tomographic field of view (Fig. 1). The patient may be instructed to hold the shoulders low; however, this position is difficult to maintain without moving throughout the often lengthy examination. Various methods for achieving optimal CT cervical spine images have been desc...
متن کاملNew traction device for radiography of the lower cervical spine.
Severe injuries to the lower cervical spine may be overlooked when the shoulders obscure this area in the lateral view. This is a familiar clinical problem and generally it is handled by pulling downward on the arms to lower the shoulders [1 -5]. One of us (D . S.) conceived a simple device with which the patient himself exerts the traction by extending his legs . This innovation has certain ad...
