The effects of inhibitory suboccipital techniques on cervical mobility have not been evaluated.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n OBJECTIVE:<\/jats:title>\n To compare the effect on cervical mobility, of pressure maintained suboccipital inhibition manual technique versus a self-treatment using an Occipivot cushion, in asymptomatic subjects with limited mobility assessed by the flexion-rotation test.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n METHODS:<\/jats:title>\n Before-after randomized uncontrolled trial. Thirty-two subjects were recruited and randomized into two groups: Manual Group and Instrumental Group, receiving a single session of the assigned technique. Upper and overall cervical spine mobility was measured. Subjective sensation during technique application and post-treatment, and number and intensity of headache episodes during the following 15 days after treatment were also registered.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n \n Comparing with the Instrumental Group, the Manual Group showed statistically significant improvements on flexion-rotation test (\n \n \n \n p<\/mml:mi>\n <<\/mml:mo>\n \n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:math>\n <\/jats:inline-formula>\n 0.01 to\n \n \n \n p<\/mml:mi>\n <<\/mml:mo>\n \n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:math>\n <\/jats:inline-formula>\n 0.03), upper cervical extension (\n \n \n \n p<\/mml:mi>\n <<\/mml:mo>\n \n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:math>\n <\/jats:inline-formula>\n 0.01), overall right rotation (\n \n \n \n p<\/mml:mi>\n <<\/mml:mo>\n \n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:math>\n <\/jats:inline-formula>\n 0.05) and overall right (\n \n \n \n p<\/mml:mi>\n <<\/mml:mo>\n \n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:math>\n <\/jats:inline-formula>\n 0.01) and left (\n \n \n \n p<\/mml:mi>\n <<\/mml:mo>\n \n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:math>\n <\/jats:inline-formula>\n 0.01) side-bending.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n CONCLUSION:<\/jats:title>\n In asymptomatic subjects with limited cervical mobility, pressure maintained suboccipital inhibition manual technique achieves further improvement on cervical range of motion than the technique using the Occipivot cushion.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3233\/bmr-160756","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,24]],"date-time":"2018-07-24T13:19:03Z","timestamp":1532438343000},"page":"1193-1200","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Comparative study of the effects of two inhibitory suboccipital techniques in non-symptomatic subjects with limited cervical mobility"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Vanessa","family":"Gonz\u00e1lez-Rueda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Baix Llobregat Centre Rehabilitation Service, DAP Costa de Ponent, Catalan Institute of Health, Barcelona, Spain"},{"name":"Jordi Gol Institute of Research on Primary Health Care, Barcelona, Spain"},{"name":"OMT, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carlos","family":"L\u00f3pez-de-Celis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Baix Llobregat Centre Rehabilitation Service, DAP Costa de Ponent, Catalan Institute of Health, Barcelona, Spain"},{"name":"Jordi Gol Institute of Research on Primary Health Care, Barcelona, Spain"},{"name":"International University of Catalonia","place":["Spain"]},{"name":"OMT, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ana","family":"Garc\u00eda-Barrull","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"OMT, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Miriam","family":"Cid-Quintas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"OMT, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aurore","family":"Bonnet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"OMT, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andoni","family":"Carrasco-Uribarren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Zaragoza","place":["Spain"]},{"name":"OMT, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mart\u00edn Eusebio","family":"Barra-L\u00f3pez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jordi Gol Institute of Research on Primary Health Care, Barcelona, Spain"},{"name":"International University of Catalonia","place":["Spain"]},{"name":"OMT, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","unstructured":"KapandjiIA.
