Changes in the sagittal cranio-cervical posture following a 12-week intervention using a simple spinal traction device
Spine Mar 24, 2019
Shahar D, et al. - In this non-controlled clinical trial, investigators estimated 13 candidates to assess the effectiveness of a simple home spinal traction device on sagittal cranio-cervical posture and its associated symptoms. They observed sagittal cervical spine configuration tending to become more lordotic, with 4 cases shifting from a kyphotic to a lordotic presentation. They observed significant positive changes throughout all tested domains whereas moderate positive changes were recorded across all radiographic cranio-cervical measured parameters eg, decreased FHP, increased cervical lordosis, and cranial extension. They found participants indicating a high level of protocol compliance. They suggested the daily use of a simple home spinal traction device effective in bringing positive plastic changes to the sagittal cranio-cervical alignment as well as a decline in symptoms of cases.
