A Study of Restricted Cervical Rotation Test; in the View of Manual Muscle Test

경추회전제한검사법에 대한 소고; 근육검사법 관점에서

Objectives: It has been reported to continue that temporomandibular joint balancing medicine (functional cerebrospinal therapy; FCST) is effective in treating incurable diseases in clinic recently. FCST is based on the results of restricted cervical rotation test, it means that the results of restricted cervical rotation test has a very high reliability on test results. Methods: This study has the aim to understand restricted cervical rotation test method and to use well with high technical skill. So manual muscle test method which was based on the upper limb lifting resistance test method are compared with restricted cervical rotation test method and had been discussed. Results: Results are that restricted cervical rotation test by using the passive motion of arrested persons (patients) have high the reliability and accuracy. Conclusions: It is concluded that restricted cervical rotation test is the new type of manual muscle tests and the results of test are very high the reliability and accuracy so that the acquirement of test method is helpful in clinic practically.
