Brief Summary:
Because changes in sagittal thoracic alignment have been reported to alter the mechanical loading of the cervical spine and decreased thoracic mobility has been identified as one of the predictors for neck and shoulder pain , it makes sense that thoracic articular treatment improves local kinematics and simultaneously neck pain improves. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of a multimodal program, with thoracic hyper kyphosis rehabilitation using the Denneroll™ thoracic traction orthosis , applied to participants with chronic non-specific neck pain and thoracic hyper-kyphosis.
Detailed Description:
Interventions directed at improving hyper-kyphosis of the thoracic spine may have therapeutic effects on the cervical spine; however, there is a lack of controlled studies evaluating this. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect effects of a multimodal program, with thoracic hyper kyphosis rehabilitation using the Denneroll™ thoracic traction orthosis , applied to participants with chronic non-specific neck pain and thoracic hyper-kyphosis.
In this study, 80 participants, with chronic non-specific neck pain and thoracic hyper-kyphosis will be included. Participants will be randomly assigned to the control or an intervention group. Both groups will receive the multimodal program; additionally, the intervention group received the Denneroll™ thoracic traction orthosis. Outcome measures will include kyphotic angle (max.), neck pain and disability , sensorimotor control outcomes; head repositioning accuracy , smooth pursuit neck torsion test and overall stability index . Measures will be assessed at three intervals: baseline, 10 weeks, and 6 months after cessation of treatment.
