The Impact of Rehabilitation Exercises on Cervical Spondylosis Among Employees

Saja basem hashem

Abstract

Rehabilitation exercises play a crucial role in rehabilitating injuries and have a direct impact on the flexibility of the spinal column and the muscle strength supporting it. To illustrate this impact, it is necessary to study these effects through rehabilitation exercises. Most employees, due to the nature of their continuous daily work, may be subjected to various strains and pressures that affect different body systems, leading to weakness and discomfort in some areas. Incorrect work and sleep habits contribute to these issues, compounded by prolonged hours spent sitting in front of a computer. All of these factors contribute to spinal pain and injuries, especially in the cervical vertebrae. The aim of this research is to develop rehabilitation exercises for employees suffering from cervical spondylosis. Additionally, it aims to understand the impact of these rehabilitation exercises on rehabilitating employees with cervical spondylosis. The researcher used an experimental approach, and the study sample consisted of eight individuals aged between 40-50 years, after being examined and diagnosed by a specialized physician. The researcher concluded that the application of rehabilitation exercises helps reduce the level of pain among the patients, demonstrating better outcomes compared to their peers who received traditional hospital-based rehabilitation exercises alone. The researcher recommends applying the results of this study when seeking to assist individuals with cervical spondylosis for better outcomes during treatment in hospitals. The rehabilitation protocol spanned six weeks, comprising an average of three rehabilitation sessions per week, totaling 18 sessions. These rehabilitation sessions were progressively tailored from lower to higher intensity over time, ranging between 15 to 30 minutes per session.
