| Abstract: | [Purpose] This study proposed a new neck support tying (NST) method using Thera-Band forthe prevention of neck and shoulder pain in workers doing overhead work. The purpose ofthis study was to investigate the effect of the new NST method using Thera-Band oncervical ROM and shoulder pain after overhead work. [Subjects] Fourteen male subjects wererecruited. [Methods] This study measured the cervical ROM and pressure pain threshold(PPT) of the upper and middle trapezius (UT and MT) muscles after the control and NSTgroups had performed overhead work. [Results] The cervical flexion, extension, and lateralflexion angles of the NST group were significantly larger than those of the control group.The PPTs of UT and MT of the NST group were significantly higher than those of the controlgroup [Conclusion] The NST prevented ROM reduction and pain in the cervical and shoulderregions.Key words: Neck supporter, Overhead work, Thera-Band |
