Article Synopsis
- - This study examined how age and sex affect the active range of motion (ROM) in the global (GCS) and upper cervical spine (UCS) among 122 healthy volunteers aged 18 to 75.
- - Measurements were taken using a specialized device, revealing that with each decade, there is a noticeable decrease in GCS flexion and extension, as well as UCS extension.
- - Additionally, men showed less ROM than women specifically in GCS and UCS extension, indicating both age-related limitations and sex-related differences in cervical spine motion.
Diacutaneous fibrolysis is a noninvasive technique that has been shown to be effective in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders such as shoulder pain, lateral epicondylalgia, patellofemoral pain syndrome and carpal tunnel syndrome. However, while diacutaneous fibrolysis is applied to soft tissue, its effects on muscular properties are unknown. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effects of diacutaneous fibrolysis on muscle properties as measured by tensiomyography and myotonometry in asymptomatic subjects.
