Abstract

Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), which was resulted from local compression of the median nerve, was a common entrapment neuropathy. Median nerve gliding exercise required a combination of other conservative therapies to provide optimal clinical improvement in CTS. Radial shock wave therapy (RSWT) was a safe, effective, practical, and non-invasive therapeutic method, can be used as a additional therapy for relieving pain and disability in CTS patients. Objective: This study was aimed to examine the effect of RSWT on median nerve gliding exercise on improving the degree of pain and hand functional scores in patients with CTS. Method: This study was a randomized controlled trial. The subjects were 22 patients from the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Polyclinic of RSUD KRMT Wongsonegoro, Semarang. They were divided into 2 groups randomly. The intervention group (n=11) was received RSWT 4 times in median nerve gliding exercise 3 times a day, every day for 4 weeks. The control group (n=11) was received only median nerve gliding exercise. The degrees of pain were measured with a manual algometer and hand functional scores were assessed by BCTQ. Results: The mean of improving pain degree were 2,53 + 0,74 kg/cm2 and 2,38 + 1,25 kg/cm2 in intervention and control group, respectively. An independent t-test showed that there were significant differences in improving pain degree between intervention and control group (p=0,016). The mean of improving BCTQ scores were -11,36 + 4,59 and -6,18 + 3,76 in intervention and control group, respectively. An independent t-test showed that there were significant differences in improving BCTQ scores between intervention and control group (p=0,009). Conclusion: RSWT was improved the degree of pain and increased the hand functional scores of CTS patients who received median nerve gliding exercises.

Abstract

Background: Mechanical neck pain is defined as neck pain due to biomechanical dysfunction in the neck or upper back. Exercise can reduce muscle tension and strengthen deep cervical flexor (DCF) muscles by helping to relieve pain. The prevalence of neck pain is considered high in helicopter crews compared to the general population. Aim: To investigate the effectiveness of DCF exercise on neck functional scores (study of helicopter crews with mechanical neck pain).Material and Methods: Experimental one pre and post-test group design. The samples were 14 squadron-31/serbu helicopter crew performing conventional DCF muscle exercise 12 times for 4 weeks with a frequency of 3 times each week. Neck function was assessed using the Neck Outcome Score (NOOS) which consists of domains of mobility, stiffness, symptoms, sleep disturbances, everyday activity and pain, participating in everyday life, and quality of life.Results: This study showed that the mean NOOS score before intervention was 30.64 (SD: 9.44) and the mean NOOS score after intervention was 8.57 (SD: 5.33). There was a significant difference in the NOOS score before and after deep cervical flexor exercise (p = 0.001).Conclusion: DCF exercises are effective for improving neck functionality in helicopter crew with mechanical neck pain.
