Postural and functionalevalutation of the use of medical pillows in the prevenction of cervical spineproblems

Abstract:

Saying ?troubles at cervical rachis? it is meant a painful symptomatology localised at cervical level, but which can extend until head and harms. Cervical troubles are a common cause of disability, very often due to the maintenance of a wrong posture for a long time. So it has been proposed the usage of three different medical pillows, which keep a right posture during the sleep, to diminishing the insurgence of neck pain or others pathologies. Thanks to these pillows it is possible to work on cervical?s muscular tension, avoiding that it grows until bringing to several tensive muscle troubles. To test the use of these pillows, 15 heterogeneous students has been recruited; their age is between 18 and 23 years old to exclude the artrosic physiological involution of cervical rachis, usually induct from vascular obliteration and conseguent reduction of blood flow.

Abstract:

Con disturbi a livello del rachide cervicale si intende una sintomatologia dolorosa localizzata a livello cervicale, ma che pu? estendersi fino alla testa ed alle braccia. Disturbi alla cervicale sono una causa comune di disabilit? molto spesso legata al mantenimento prolungato di una postura sbagliata. Per mantenere una postura corretta e quindi diminuire l?insorgenza di cervicalgie o altre patologie a carico del rachide cervicale ? stato proposto l?utilizzo di 3 diversi guanciali medicali che durante il sonno mantengono una postura corretta. Con i guanciali andiamo infatti a lavorare sulla tensione muscolare della cervicale, evitando che questa aumenti troppo portando alla nascita di numerosi problemi muscolotensivi della cervicale.
