Abstract
La movilidad articular se conoce como la capacidad de movimiento de una articulación en conjunto con los diferentes grupos musculares. En el dolor cervical o cervicalgia, esta se puede ver alterada por varios factores como: el dolor, la debilidad muscular y la limitación. Objetivos : Determinar las alteraciones de la movilidad cervical en los estudiantes de 1er a 3er ciclo de la Carrera de Fisioterapia de la Universidad Católica de Santiago de Guayaquil. Metodología : Estudio de enfoque cuantitativo y alcance descriptivo de diseño no experimental de tipo transversal en 106 estudiantes, considerando los criterios de inclusión se utilizó el IDC y el Test de Flexión Cráneo-Cervical. Resultados : De la muestra conformada por 100%(106) estudiantes; utilizando el Índice de Discapacidad Cervical se pudo evidenciar que el 55% de la población entra en el rango de sin discapacidad, en comparación con el porcentaje sobrante que equivale a un 38% y 7% entran en el rango de discapacidad leve y discapacidad moderada respectivamente, en relación a la evaluación de la movilidad articular mediante el Test de Flexión Cráneo-Cervical el 79% presentó alteración y un 21% el valor normal, en la evaluación con el instrumento Stabilizer Pressure Biofeedback el 75% presentó alteración de la fuerza muscular y el 25 % el valor normal. Conclusiones : Entre los estudiantes de 1ro y 3er ciclo de la carrera de Fisioterapia de la Universidad Católica de Santiago de Guayaquil se determinó que existe un alto porcentaje en relación a las alteraciones de la movilidad cervical.
Joint mobility is known as the ability to move a joint in conjunction with the different muscle groups. In cervical pain or neck pain, this can be altered by several factors such as: pain, muscle weakness and limitation. Objective : To determine the alterations of cervical mobility in students from 1st to 3rd cycle of the Physiotherapy Career of the Catholic University of Santiago de Guayaquil. Methodology : Study with a quantitative approach and descriptive scope of a non-experimental cross-sectional design in 106 students, considering the inclusion criteria, the IDC and the Cranio-Cervical Flexion Test were used. Results : From the sample made up of 100% (106) students; Using the Cervical Disability Index, it was possible to show that 55% of the population falls into the range of without disability, compared to the excess percentage that is equivalent to 38% and 7%, they fall into the range of mild disability and moderate disability respectively. In relation to the evaluation of joint mobility using the Cranio-Cervical Flexion Test, 79% presented alteration and 21% the normal value, in the evaluation with the Stabilizer Pressure Biofeedback instrument, 75% presented alteration of muscle strength and 25% the normal value. Conclusions : Among the students of the 1st and 3rd cycle of the Physiotherapy career at the Catholic University of Santiago de Guayaquil, it was determined that there is a high percentage in relation to cervical mobility alterations.
