Abstract

The current research aims at designing a recommended program with Pilates exercises and some traction types and identifying the effects of the recommended program on preventing symptoms of early erosion of cervical cartilages through increasing the muscular strength of cervical muscles and hand grip and the rang of motion of cervical joints and decreasing cervical spin pain. The researcher used the quasi-experimental approach (one group design) with pre-, intermediate and post-measurements. Sample included (12) male patients (30-50 years) with cervical spondylosis after physical examination that confirmed their injuries. Sample was recruited from patients of Sports Medicine Center – Kafr Al-Shaikh Directorate of Youth and Rehabilitation Center – Faculty of Physical Education - Kafr Al-Shaikh University. The researcher concludes that using Pilates exercises in rehabilitation with electric traction (continuous and intermittent) had positive effects on the agonist muscles of the neck. These effects are better than any other regular thermal methods. The recommended program decreases intensity of pain resulting from weak agonist muscles of the neck as it decreases the pressure over cartilages of this area. Balanced improvement of muscular power, joint flexibility and muscle stretching has positive effects on increasing functional effectiveness of cervical vertebrae.
