摘要:

文题释义:
肌肉张力:指在松弛状态下的肌肉机械紧张度,体现肌肉在收缩和舒张之间的恢复状况。疼痛、炎症改变及某些神经疾患会导致局部的肌肉张力升高,而异常高的张力会影响肌肉中的血流供给与分布,更容易加重肌肉的劳损,甚至影响静息状态下的平衡状态。
肌肉刚度:是肌肉抵抗外力、对抗形变的的内在能力,是肌肉单元能力储存的重要指标,与关节的运动控制有关。

背景:研究发现神经根型颈椎病的肩颈部肌肉力学性能会发生改变,且与症状程度相关。
目的:利用新型肌肉定量评估仪MyotonPRO测量并对比分析神经根型颈椎病患者和正常人上斜方肌及胸锁乳突肌的肌肉性能,探讨神经根型颈椎病患者肩颈肌肉失衡现象的原因,为该病的防治及康复锻炼提供依据。
方法:选择25例神经根型颈椎病患者及基线资料匹配的25例正常人,采用MyotonPRO定点测量胸锁乳突肌及上斜方肌的张力、刚度并进行对比,通过计算不对称指数来比较神经根型颈椎病患者与正常人的肌肉性能失衡情况,并收集神经根型颈椎病患者的目测类比评分、Northwick Park颈痛量表评分进行相关分析。
结果与结论:①神经根型颈椎病患者的两侧上斜方肌及胸锁乳突肌张力、刚度的平均值均大于正常人,且神经根型颈椎病患者的患侧上斜方肌张力、刚度高于对侧,差异均有显著性意义(P < 0.05);②神经根型颈椎病患者的上斜方肌及胸锁乳突肌的张力、刚度的不对称指数与正常人相比,差异均有显著性意义(P < 0.05),说明神经根型颈椎病患者的肌张力、刚度均高于正常人组;③神经根型颈椎病患者的目测类比评分与Northwick Park颈痛量表评分均与上斜方肌的张力、刚度均呈显著正相关(P < 0.05);④提示神经根型颈椎病患者因为局部软组织炎症、疼痛、姿势等影响,通常表现出上斜方肌及胸锁乳突肌的张力和刚度升高,并且左右两侧的张力和刚度存在明显的失衡情况,这种肌肉力学性能的改变与疼痛及生活质量表现出正相关关系;故在神经根型颈椎病的防治中,需要关注肌肉的张力、刚度失衡,纠正失衡。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Studies had shown that the mechanical properties of the shoulder and neck muscles in cervical spondylotic radiculopathy are altered and correlated with the degree of symptoms.  
OBJECTIVE: To compare the mechanical properties of upper trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscle in cervical spondylotic radiculopathy patients by MyotonPRO, and to explore the causes of shoulder and neck muscle imbalance in cervical spondylotic radiculopathy patients so as to provide a basis for the prevention and treatment of the disease and rehabilitation exercises.
METHODS:  Totally 25 patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy and 25 normal people matched with baseline data were selected. MyotonPRO was used to measure the tension and hardness of sternocleidomastoid muscle and superior trapulus muscle for comparison. The muscle performance imbalance of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy patients and normal people was compared by calculating the asymmetry index. Visual analogue scale score and Northwick Park Neck Pain Questionnaire scores of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy patients were collected for correlation analysis.  
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The mean values of upper trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscle tension and stiffness on both sides of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy group were higher than those of the healthy group. The upper trapezius tension and stiffness of the affected side were higher than those of the contralateral side in the cervical spondylotic radiculopathy group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). (2) The upper trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscle tension and stiffness asymmetry indexes in cervical spondylotic radiculopathy group were significantly different from those in the healthy group (all P < 0.05). These indicated that the muscle tension and stiffness in the cervical spondylotic radiculopathy group were higher than those in the normal group. (3) Visual analogue scale score and Northwick Park Neck Pain Questionnaire score were significantly positively correlated with upper trapezius tension and stiffness (all P < 0.05). (4) Due to the influence of local soft tissue inflammation, pain and posture, cervical spondylotic radiculopathy patients usually show increased tension and stiffness of the superior trapezius muscle and sternocleidomastoid muscle. There is an obvious imbalance of tension and stiffness of the left and right sides. This change in muscle mechanics was positively correlated with pain and quality of life. Therefore, in the prevention and treatment of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy, attention should be paid to the imbalance of muscle tension and stiffness, and the imbalance should be corrected.

Key words: cervical spondylotic radiculopathy, sternocleidomastoid, upper trapezius, stiffness, tension
