Abstract

Purpose: This study was to identify the effect of cervical stabilization exercise on pain and structure in patients with cervical artificial disc replacement. Methods: Forty-four individuals with cervical artificial disc replacement volunteered to participate from FEB 2012 to MAR 2013 in this study. They were allocated to either Experimental Group (EG) or Control Group (CG), with 22 subjects in each group. Subjects from the EG performed cervical stabilization exercise program and subjects from the CG performed isometric exercise program. Assessment tools were made with the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Neck Disability Index (NDI), and Cervical Lordosis Angle (CLA). Results: In this study, in within-group and between-group comparison, the EG and CG showed significant differences in all parameters(p<0.05). But EG showed more improvement than CG at all parameters. Conclusion: These findings suggest that cervical stabilization exercise may be favorably used to improve VAS, NDI and CLA in patients with cervical artificial disc replacement. Further studies with larger sample and long-term follow-up period need to generalize the results of this study.
