Abstract

Objective: To assess risk factors associated with hypo mobility of cervical spine.

Methodology: A case control Study of 200 participants aged 20-50 was selected from Gujrat city through Non Probability Convenient Sampling technique. Goniometer was used to measure the 6 cervical AROM. Cases (n=100) and controls (n=100) were differentiated according to the ranges. Semi-structured questionnaire along a consent form were distributed including Neck disability index scale. Odds ratios were calculated by logistic regression. The relationship between factors neck mobility were analyzed.

Results: Age was a significant factor and group 31-40 years with odds ratio 0.48 was less prone to develop hypo mobility. We found that Gender (OR=0.59, p=0.055), Marital status (OR=3.143, P=0.03), Migraine (OR=0.44, P=0.008), Sleeping Position (OR= 2.87, P=0.004), Trigger points (OR=2.970, P=0.00) And TMJ (OR=0.257, P=0.10) show Significance. Type of pillow (OR=3.923, P=0.863) was not statistically significant.

Conclusion: The results suggests that Age, Gender ,Marital status, Forward head posture, Trigger points, Migraine, Sleeping Position and TMJ have a significant effect on cervical mobility. Type of pillow is not associated with neck mobility.
