Evaluation of the Statistical Validity of Cervical Spine Measurements-Including Range of Motion, Strength, and Functional Test Results-for Return to Sport in Patients Who Have Undergone Surgery for Cervical Stenosis and/or Herniation.
Sponsor: GCS Ramsay Santé pour l'Enseignement et la Recherche
Summary
Cervical stenosis is characterized by a narrowing of the spinal canal that exerts pressure on adjacent sensitive areas, potentially causing significant neck pain and cervicobrachial neuralgia accompanied by functional limitations-conditions that are particularly disabling for athletes. Among the athletic population, anterior cervical discectomy with fusion is the gold-standard surgical treatment. Currently, there is no consensus regarding the timing for a safe return to sports following surgical treatment for cervical stenosis. While various clinical tests are used to assess mobility or pain, no single test specifically evaluates the level of functional recovery.
