About this study

This is a pilot experimental research involving 10 probands diagnosed with Vertebrogenic Algic syndrome in the cervical spine, 10 probands diagnosed with Vertebrogenic Algic syndrome in the thoracic spine and 10 probands diagnosed with Vertebrogenic Algic syndrome in the lumbar spine. Each participant undergo a kinesiological examination according to the McGill ́s principles together with an SF-36 questionnaire. Measured values are compared and provided a basis for testing the hypotheses. The study uses methods of research, observation, querying and comparison of collected data.
