Brief Summary

The aim of this study was to investigate the morphological changes in the neck muscles of cervical spinal stabilization exercises focused on flexor and extensor muscles applied to healthy individuals.

Conditions

Healthy

Keywords

cervical spinal stabilisation exercises; muscle cross sectional area; muscle t2 relaxation time

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Cervical muscles cross sectional area

  Measurement of the cross-sectional area of the examined muscles by axial mri images. The circles of the muscles will be drawn by hand and examined with a computer program.

  Change from baseline time at the end of 8 week

• Cervical muscle T2 relaxation time

  T2 relaxation time of circled muscles will be measured with milliseconds. T2 axial and t2 mapping images will be obtained with mri.

  change from baseline time at the end of 8 week

Secondary Outcomes (6)

• Cervical muscle strength

  change from baseline score at the end of 8 week

• New York posture rating chart

  change from baseline score at the end of 8 week

• Tragus angle measurement

  change from baseline score at the end of 8 week

• Cervical flexor and extensor endurance test

  change from baseline score at the end of 8 week

• Cervical range of motion measurement

  change from baseline score at the end of 8 week
