目的：检查多颈椎康复中心（Hanoun Medical Inc.，安大略）。设计：一项横断面研究。设置：机构的做法。科目：21名颈部疼痛患者和25名健康志愿者。方法：在一个试运行会议后，主动运动范围（AROM）进行了测量，在随后的两个会议，2-3天之间。在每次会话期间，在每个方向（屈曲、伸展、侧屈和旋转）进行三次测量。在完成AROM测量后休息15分钟后测量等长肌力。在六个方向（屈曲、伸展、侧屈、前伸和回缩）中的每个方向进行三次测量。多颈椎康复单元的软件自动记录和计算的最大AROM和等长strength.Results：有一个良好的高水平的可靠性在测量AROM为两组受试者，与组内;相关系数（ICC）范围从0.81到0.96。结果还表明，在等长肌力测量非常好的可靠性（ICC范围从0.92到0.99）。此外，有一个显着的差异，在颈部等长肌力（p = 0.001）和AROM（p = 0.034）between the two group.Conclusions：多颈椎康复单位被认为是可靠和有效的测试颈部主动活动范围和颈部等长肌力为正常和患者的科目。
Objective: To examine the test-retest reliability and construct validity of cervical active range of motion and isometric neck muscle strength as measured by the Multi Cervical Rehabilitation Unit (Hanoun Medical Inc., Ontario).Design: A cross-sectional study.Setting: Institutional practice.Subjects: Twenty-one patients with neck pain and 25 healthy volunteers.Methods: After a trial-run session, active range of motion AROM) was measured in the subsequent two sessions, with 2-3 days in between. During each session, three measurements were taken for each direction (flexion, extension, lateral flexions and rotations). The measurement of isometric strength was after a 15-minute break following completion of the measurement of AROM. Three measurements were made for each of the six directions (flexion, extension, lateral flexions, protraction and retraction). The software of the Multi Cervical Rehabilitation Unit automatically recorded and calculated the maximum AROM and isometric strength.Results: There was a good to high level of reliability in the measurement of AROM for both groups of subjects, with intraclass; correlation coefficients (ICCs) ranging from 0.81 to 0.96. Results also demonstrated very good to excellent reliability in isometric strength measurement (ICCs ranged from 0.92 to 0.99). Moreover, there was a significant difference in isometric neck muscle strength (p = 0.001) and in AROM (p = 0.034) between the two groups.Conclusions: The Multi Cervical Rehabilitation Unit was found to be reliable and valid for testing the cervical active range of motion and isometric neck muscle strength for both normal and patient subjects.
