Migraine patients may present with both cervical and balance dysfunctions. The neck plays an important role in balance by providing substantial proprioceptive input, which is integrated in the central...
This study aimed to assess the association between the sensory organization test of balance with neck pain features, cervical strength, endurance, and range of motion in patients with migraine....
Sixty-five patients with migraine underwent the sensory organization test assessed with the Equitest-Neurocom® device. Maximum voluntary isometric contraction, cervical flexion and extension range of ...
Patients with reduced balance performance presented a higher frequency of migraine (p = 0.035), a higher frequency of aura (p = 0.002), greater neck pain intensity (p = 0.013), and decreased endurance...
Neck pain features and endurance of the cervical muscles are related to reduced balance performance in patients with migraine. These results shed light to a better understanding of balance alterations...
The following article details the muscular anatomy of the head and neck, including insertion, origin, action and innervation, organized by anatomic subunit and/or major action. This article also descr...
To evaluate the contribution of splenius capitis, sternocleidomastoid, and upper fibers of trapezius activation to the gains in rate of force development (RFD) of the head and neck during maximum volu...
RFD gain was facilitated by a single-session intervention for maximum voluntary ballistic contractions in the anterior direction, oriented at 45° to the midsagittal plane, which require active restrai...
The intervention yielded a 1.95- to 2.39-fold RFD gain (P ≤ .05), with greater RFD gain for participants with a lower peak moment of force (<10.9 N·m) than those with a higher peak moment (≥10.9 N·m) ...
The agonist- and antagonist-focused synergies might reflect different functional priorities, higher RFD gain compared with higher head-neck force....
T2 relaxation times (T2 times) are different between resting and exercised muscles and between muscles of healthy subjects and subjects with muscle pathology. However, studies specifically focusing on...
Infrared thermography has the potential to help assess human head and neck muscles, as thermal variation measurements due to muscle imbalance can contribute to the evaluation and therapeutic follow-up...
This study investigated, with a scoping review, the use of infrared thermography in complementary assessments of human head and neck muscles to determine the extent of research on the topic, what meth...
LILACS, MEDLINE, SciELO, and Web of Science were the databases searched to identify articles published on the topic, with no restriction of language or time of publication. Descriptive, analytical, an...
This review identified and analysed 27 articles. The studies assessed thermal distribution in normal individuals and those with pathologies related to hyper- and hypofunctional head and neck muscle co...
Thermography is used in complementary assessments of head and neck muscles, identifying hyper-radiant regions and thermal asymmetry related to muscle tension and activation state. Papers are limited t...
The objectives were to compare forward head posture (FHP) in natural and corrected head postures between patients with nonspecific neck pain (NSNP) and controls and to clarify the relationship between...
In this cross-sectional study, 19 patients with NSNP reporting a pain score of 3-7 for at least 3 months and 19 participants with no neck pain within the previous 12 months were recruited. To evaluate...
FHP in the natural head posture did not differ between groups. In the corrected head posture, FHP was significantly smaller in the NSNP group than in the control group. In the NSNP group, the cranial ...
Patients with NSNP show hypercorrection in the corrected head posture, which may be correlated with deep cervical flexor dysfunction. Further investigation into the causal relationship between hyperco...
The mobile phone is essential in daily life, especially during the pandemic. Prolonged use can cause postural issues, leading to common neck pain. This study aims to determine the correlation between ...
Modeling muscle activity in the neck muscles of a finite element (FE) human body model can be based on two biological reflex systems. One approach is to approximate the Vestibulocollic reflex (VCR) fu...
The activity of muscles during motion in one direction should be symmetrical when compared to the activity of the contralateral muscles during motion in the opposite direction, while symmetrical movem...
The present study aimed to evaluate the correlation of eye length and bioelectric activity of temporalis, masseter, digastric, and sternocleidomastoid muscles in women with myopia compared to healthy ...
Based on the exclusion and inclusion criteria, 42 women aged 24 years (±2 years) were eligible for the study. Two equally sized groups with myopic (...
A greater number of correlations between the analyzed variables was observed in emmetropic women. In almost all cases, the longer axial eye length was associated with an increase in the bioelectrical ...
There is a relationship between the bioelectrical activity of the masticatory muscles and the axial length of the eyeball on the same side....
