| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
For a person with the chronic neck pain, we conducted training of the cervical deep seated muscles and examined the useful therapeutic exercise using f-mMRI. At first, using a T2 level of the MRI, we established a method to measure the muscle activity of the longus colli muscle which was cervical deep seated muscle.
For a person with chronic neck pain, we made the three types of exercise respectively for two months. The exercise was used elastic band, a rubber ball, expansion band. In MRI, we let subjects to nod and we scanned MRI before and after nodding. We measured T2 change of longus colli and sternocleidomastoid muscles before and after exercise. As a result, we put an elastic band to the head rear, and it was found that exercise to saw an elastic band forward while maintaining head position was the most effective.
