| description | Background: Neck pain management has become a burden among patients due to economic hardship, waiting time in the hospital, and
inadequate personnel around the nation.
Objective: The study developed a video using some exercises of McKenzie for addressing the discomfort associated with neck.
Method: Ten consenting individuals with neck discomfort attending the outpatient clinic of the Physiotherapy unit of the Teaching Hospitals
belonging to the Obafemi Awolowo University Ile-Ife, Osun state, Nigeria participated in the study. A model demonstrated seven McKenzie
exercises for neck pain as instructed by an instructor and a video clip of the demonstration was produced. The recruited patients were taught
how to use the clips and each used the clip to guide them in the exercises. The exercise was practiced for 4 weeks as indicated in the clip; they
were monitored weekly by telephone. The feasibility of the clip was evaluated using a USE questionnaire. A verbal rating scale and an index
to measure neck disability were employed to measure the severity of pain and disability of the neck before and after the exercise period. Data
was summarized using a dependent t-test. The level of significance was set at 0.05.
Results: Four (40%) males and six (60%), females participated in the study with a mean age of 45.60 + 21.54 years. The usability of the video
clip was excellent or 100% and a significant reduction was observed in the pain intensity (t=6.069, p=0.000), but disability did not show any
significant change (t=0.950, p=0.355).
Conclusion: The video-based McKenzie exercise clip was effective in managing neck pain, and it is feasible for practice among patients. |
