The Effect of Ergonomic Latex Pillow on Head and Neck Posture and Muscle Endurance in Patients With Cervical Spondylosis: A Randomized Controlled Trial

摘要

Cervical pillows have frequently been reported to attenuate the symptoms of pain and disability. Although the main role of pillows is to optimize head and neck posture and relax the neck muscles, limited studies have examined the effectiveness of pillows from aspects beyond subjective outcome measures, especially their effect on head and neck posture and muscle performance. This study examines the effect of ergonomic latex pillow on the craniovertebral (CV) angle and cervical flexor and extensor muscle endurance in patients with cervical spondylosis.
