简要总结
When the literature is examined, there is study investigating the effect of mulligan mobilization technique on older adults with neck pain. This study aims to investigate the effect of mulligan mobilization technique on pain, range of motion, functional level, kinesiophobia, fear of movement, depression and quality of life in older adults with neck pain.
详细描述
Neck pain is common in older adults. There are a lot of approaches for treatment of neck pain such as soft tıssue mobilizations, electirical stimulations etc. Mulligan proposes mobilization with movement (MWM) technique for various musculoskeletal disorders. But there is no study related MWM for older adults with neck pain. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of mulligan mobilization technique on pain, range of motion (ROM), functional level, kinesiophobia, depression and quality of life (QoL) in older adults with neck pain. The hypothesis of our study is MWM can be effective on ROM, kinesiophobia, depression and QoL in older adults with neck pain.

结局指标
主要结局
Visual Analogue Scale
时间窗: 5 months
The severity of pain at rest and during activity was assessed by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Participants were questioned about their average pain over the last 4 weeks. They were asked to mark the severity of their pain on a 10-cm-long line where 0 represented no pain, and 10 stood for vicious pain
次要结局
- Neck Disability Index(5 months)
- Universal goniometer(5 months)
- Beck Depression Inventory(5 months)
- Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia(5 months)
- Short Form-36(5 months)
