UNASSIGNED: The sample consisted of 160 car drivers between 25 and 45 years. This subject was then divided into two groups based on neck pain. Participants met the required criteria, such as being between 25-45 years of age, maintaining a BMI of 18-24, and driving for at least 2 hours each day for at least 3-5 years. To evaluate the results, we employed a clinometer and compass app on a smartphone to measure the Cervical Range of Motion (CROM). We used Surgimap software to estimate the Craniovertebral Angle (CVA), and a (Cervical range of motion) CROM device was used for proprioception assessment.
UNASSIGNED: The result shows the participants in neck pain group displayed lower Cervical Range of Motion (CROM) values than without neck Pain Group. Similarly, the Craniovertebral Angle (CVA) was smaller in the neck Pain Group (mean difference of -6.3°), indicating a more forward head posture. Neck pain resulted in a mean difference of -4.5° in proprioception accuracy. This indicates that neck pain affects CROM, CVA, and proprioception in car drivers.
UNASSIGNED: Car driving significantly impacts cervical parameters in individuals with neck pain, reducing cervical range of motion, altered craniovertebral angle, and diminished proprioceptive accuracy. These findings emphasize the need for ergonomic interventions and proprioceptive training tailored for drivers. Future research should broaden demographic parameters and consider potential confounders to provide a holistic understanding of the relationship between car driving and neck health.
■样本由160名25至45岁的汽车驾驶员组成。然后根据颈部疼痛将该受试者分为两组。参加者符合规定的标准,比如年龄在25-45岁之间,保持BMI为18-24,每天至少驾驶2小时,至少3-5年。为了评估结果,我们在智能手机上使用了测斜仪和指南针应用程序来测量颈椎运动范围(CROM)。我们使用Surgimap软件来估计颅骨角度(CVA),使用CROM装置(颈椎活动范围)进行本体感受评估.
■结果显示,颈部疼痛组的参与者的颈椎运动范围(CROM)值比没有颈部疼痛组的低。同样,颈痛组的头椎角(CVA)较小(平均差-6.3°),表示更向前的头部姿势。颈部疼痛导致本体感觉准确性的平均差异为-4.5°。这表明颈部疼痛会影响CROM,CVA,和汽车司机的本体感受。
■汽车驾驶会显著影响颈部疼痛患者的颈椎参数,减少颈椎的活动范围,颅骨角度改变,本体感觉准确性下降。这些发现强调了为驾驶员量身定制的人体工程学干预和本体感受训练的必要性。未来的研究应扩大人口统计学参数,并考虑潜在的混杂因素,以全面了解汽车驾驶与颈部健康之间的关系。
