title: [Movement efficiency of the cervical spine in pain syndrome associated with instability of the cervical segment of the spine].
abstract: The goal of this work is to attempt to evaluate the motor efficiency of the cervical spine by taking into account the range of active movements and the strength of muscle groups in pain syndrome associated with instability of the cervical segment of the spine (CSPS), to point out possible dependencies between the tested parameters of motor efficiency, and to indicate the suitability of motor efficiency examination in assessing the effectiveness of rehabilitation. The results from tests performed on 71 patients indicate that persons suffering from CSPS, in comparison to healthy subjects, ae characterized by very low motor efficiency of the cervical spine. The greatest limitation on the range of active movements occurred in vertical inclination and rotation, while the greatest deficit of strength appeared in the muscle groups of lateral flexors. Moreover, these parameters of motor efficiency showed a high degree of dependency in the examinations. The results from the preliminary examination and the high dynamics of change in the control examinations suggest that motor efficiency examinations are useful in assessing the effectiveness of rehabilitation procedures in patients with CSPS.
