Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how cervical spine fusion affects the range of motion (ROM) during daily activities and its relation to quality of life as measured by patient-reported outcomes (PROs).
- Findings show that patients with multi-level cervical fusion (>3 levels) experience a significant reduction in maximum ROM across various movements compared to control participants, which also leads to difficulties in certain daily activities like driving and stairs.
- The research suggests that while maximum ROM decreases post-surgery, functional ROM during daily activities remains relatively unaffected, highlighting an increase in pain and disability scores among fusion patients.
Objective/hypothesis: The intensification of treatment for head and neck cancers (HNCs) has created a cohort of patients living with short- and long-term comorbidities and functional deficits. This study aimed to determine whether there is a relationship between patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and objective measures of neck function in survivors of HNCs.
Study Design: Cross-sectional study.
