Cervicogenic dizziness - musculoskeletal findings before and after treatment and long-term outcome.

Purpose: To explore musculoskeletal findings in patients with cervicogenic dizziness and how these findings relate to pain and dizziness. To study treatment effects and long-term symptom progress.

Method: Twenty-two patients (20 women, 2 men; mean age 37 years) with suspected cervicogenic dizziness underwent a structured physical examination before and after physiotherapy guided by the musculoskeletal findings.

Primary and coupled cervical movements: the effect of age, gender, and body mass index. A 3-dimensional movement analysis of a population without symptoms of neck disorders.

Study Design: Exploratory experimental design.

Objectives: To examine primary and coupled cervical movements, and to study the effects of age, gender, and body mass index in a "neck-healthy" population. These data could serve as a basis for future interventions and to assess normal variations.

Zebris versus Myrin: a comparative study between a three-dimensional ultrasound movement analysis and an inclinometer/compass method: intradevice reliability, concurrent validity, intertester comparison, intratester reliability, and intraindividual variability.

Study Design: Experimental study.

Objectives: To compare two devices for measuring cervical range of motion, a three-dimensional ultrasound motion device (Zebris) and a gravity-reference goniometer (Myrin).

Summary Of Background Data: Assessment of cervical range of motion is used to evaluate the effect of different treatments, determine impairment, and ascertain the relationship between neck disorders and cervical spine mobility.
