Abstract

Knowledge of reference values for cervical muscle strength is a key tool for clinicians to use as a clinical reference measure and to establish goals during rehabilitation. The objective was to establish reference values for the maximal strength of cervical muscles in healthy women using a handheld dynamometer and verify the association of cervical muscle strength with age and anthropometric measurements. A hundred women were classified into four groups (n = 25) according to age: 18–29 years, 30–39 years, 40–49 years, and 50–60 years. Maximal muscle strength of the cervical spine was measured using a Lafayette® handheld dynamometer for flexion, extension, and bilateral lateral flexion. No differences in cervical muscle strength were observed among the groups (p > 0.05). However, the 18–29-year-old group took less time to reach the peak of force for flexion than the 50–60-year-old group. Moderate correlations were observed between cervical flexor strength and weight, body mass index, and neck circumference, and between cervical extensor strength and weight and body mass index (r = 0.43–0.55; p < 0.05). Reference values for cervical muscle strength in healthy women were established using a handheld dynamometer, and the association between muscle strength and anthropometric data was moderate.

Abstract

Objective To evaluate gender differences in clinical characteristics of migraine by examining presence and severity of cutaneous allodynia, migraine-related disability, neck pain and its associated disability, passive mobility of the upper cervical spine, and performance of the deep neck flexor muscles. Design Cross-sectional study. Subjects 30 men and 30 women with migraine. Methods Participants responded to the questionnaires Migraine Disability Assessment questionnaire, 12-item Allodynia Symptom Checklist, and Neck Disability Index. The mobility of the upper cervical spine was assessed by using the Flexion-Rotation Test. Performance of the deep neck flexor muscles was evaluated by applying the Craniocervical Flexion Test. Comparison of the groups was carried out by using the Student's t -test or the χ2 test. The prevalence ratio was also calculated. Results Women showed a higher prevalence of cutaneous allodynia (P  = .001) and a 4 times greater risk of having severe cutaneous allodynia than to men (P  = 0.007). No gender differences were observed in migraine-related disability (P  = .08). Women showed higher prevalence of self-reported neck pain (P  = .03) and increased risk of having this symptom in comparison to men (Prevalence Ratio = 1.69; P  = 0.025). However, there were no gender differences in neck pain-related disability (P  = .25), mobility of the upper cervical spine (P  = .92), or performance of the deep neck flexor muscles (P  = .52). Conclusion Women with migraine had a higher frequency of self-reported neck pain and higher prevalence and severity of cutaneous allodynia when compared to men. However, the two groups did not differ regarding neck pain-related disability and performance in the physical tests. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
