Summary

60 healthy participants with right / left upper trapezoidal shortness based on volunteering will be included in the study. Participants were randomly divided into 4 groups; Traction and stretching exercises to group 1 (n = 15), laser therapy and stretching exercise to group 2 (n = 15), hot pack and stretching exercises to group 3 (n = 15), and group 4 (control group) only stretching exercises will be applied.

Conditions

  • Cervical Flexibility
  • Stretch
  • Physical Therapy
  • Electrotherapy

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Traction

Intermittent traction will be applied to the cervical region in a supine position with the neck at 25-30 ° flexion. The target weight is determined as 10% of the patient's weight. Traction pulling force applied to the target weight will be achieved gradually increasing from low. Traction therapy will be applied intermittent traction for 15 minutes in each session as 60 seconds retention and 60 seconds rest. The therapy will be held for 18 sessions, 3 days / week.

PROCEDURE

Laser therapy

Laser therapy will be applied to the participants with a GaAs laser with 904 nm wavelength, 6 points transforaminally, 120 seconds to each point, at 2 J / cm² density, total dose of 12 J laser therapy by keeping the probe in constant contact with the skin.

PROCEDURE

Hot pack

The hot pack, which is the superficial heat agent, will be held in the neck area of the participants for 20 minutes in each session.The therapy will be held for 18 sessions, 3 days / week.

PROCEDURE

Stretching

Stretching exercises will be repeated 3 times a day in total, 2 times a day self-stretching at home and 1 time under the supervision of a physiotherapist. Exercises for upper trapezius muscle, sternokleudomasteudeus (SCM) muscle and the scalene muscle to be applied in a 3 repeat by waiting 30 seconds, stretching under tension.The therapy will be held for 18 sessions, 3 days / week.
