Protocol summary
-
Study aim
-
Comparison of isometric exercise and walking on the reduction of neck muscle fatigue due to prolonged reading using electromyography
-
Design
-
Samples will be selected from students and workers of Kermanshah University who have not any problem of neck pain. They will be randomly allocated into three groups of isometric exercise or walking and control. After attaching the electrodes of EMG on the neck muscles, the participants will be sited at the table, which is embedded, and they will be reading for one hour. In the first group, every ten minutes, the isometric exercises will be performed by the participants for 5 periods of one minute (a total of 5 minutes) and in the second group, every ten minutes, participants will walk at a desired pace speed for 5 periods of one minute (a total of 5 minutes) and in control group only keep reading. From the first 10 second and the last 10 second of the reading period, the EMG signals will be recorded and assessed regarding muscle fatigue.
-
Settings and conduct
-
In this study, the samples were randomly divided into three groups: isometric training and walking between long-term study and control groups. At the beginning and after the one hour of study, each sample will be evaluated, that is the neck muscle fatigue will be measured and be assessed.
-
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
-
Inclusion criteria: Being student or worker in Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences.
Exclusion criteria: People with congenital (hereditary) diseases, patients with a history of surgery and patients with a history of neck or arm pain or musculoskeletal disorder
-
Intervention groups
-
In the isometric exercise group, every ten minutes, the exercises will be performed 5 times for one minute.
In the second group, every ten minutes, they will walk slowly in their optimum speed for a minute and a total of 5 times.
-
Main outcome variables
-
Neck muscle fatigue
General information
-
Reason for update
-
Regarding the delay in starting the project because of the Corona, we decided to change one of the interventions, because of more related documents. Also for improving the study, a control group add.
