Zusammenfassung
Die vorliegende nicht experimentelle deskriptive Querschnittstudie untersuchte die Dauer der maximal möglichen Haltezeit beim Ausdauertest der HWS-Flexoren sowie einen möglichen Zusammenhang zwischen ihrer Ausdauerleistungsfähigkeit und der HWS-Schmerzintensität.
Der Vergleich der Ergebnisse mit entsprechenden Daten aus anderen Studien deutet auf eine hohe Variabilität der Ausdauerleistungsfähigkeit der tiefen HWS-Flexoren sowohl mit als auch ohne Nackenschmerz hin.
Abstract
This experimental descriptive cross sectional study examined the maximal holding time for the neck flexor endurance test as well as a possible correlation between endurance capacity and neck pain intensity.
The comparison of the results with other studies’ data indicates a high variability of the deep neck flexor muscles’ endurance capacity with and without neck pain.
Schlüsselwörter
