Overview
Brief Summary
This study aimed to examine the effects of vibration applied at different frequencies with a percussion massage gun on joint range of motion, pain, functionality and kinesiophobia in individuals with cervical disc herniation.All individuals participating in the study will receive a conventional treatment program. In the conventional treatment program, heat will be applied to the neck area for 20 minutes and TENS (100 Hz) will be applied to the painful area. Additionally, patients will be given joint range of motion (ROM) exercises under the supervision of a physiotherapist.
Vibration Group Vibration application will be applied to the individuals in this group in addition to conventional methods. Vibration application will be applied to the trapezius, levator scapula and cervical paravertebral muscles with a percussion massage gun (Compex Fix 2.0) along the origo-insersio line for 3 minutes for each muscle group. Vibration application will be made with the soft head of the percussion massage gun. Vibration therapy will be applied 3 days a week for 3 weeks.
Detailed Description
This study aimed to examine the effects of vibration applied at different frequencies with a percussion massage gun on joint range of motion, pain, functionality and kinesiophobia in individuals with cervical disc herniation.All individuals participating in the study will receive a conventional treatment program 4 days a week. In the conventional treatment program, heat will be applied to the neck area for 20 minutes and TENS (100 Hz) will be applied to the painful area. Additionally, patients will be given joint range of motion (ROM) exercises under the supervision of a physiotherapist. Patients will be asked to perform ROM exercises in 2 sets of 10 repetitions, holding for 2 seconds at the end point in all directions. As a strengthening exercise, isometric exercises will be given in the flexion extension, right and left lateral flexion directions by waiting for 6 seconds at the end point. Isometric exercises will be performed in 2 sets of 10 repetitions with 1 minute rest between sets. Vibration Group Vibration application will be applied to the individuals in this group in addition to conventional methods. Vibration application will be applied to the trapezius, levator scapula and cervical paravertebral muscles with a percussion massage gun (Compex Fix 2.0) along the origo-insersio line for 3 minutes for each muscle group. Vibration application will be made with the soft head of the percussion massage gun. Vibration therapy will be applied 3 days a week for 3 weeks.
