Brief summary

The goal of this study is to determine the applicability of McGill ́s method to patients with diagnoses, collectively referred to as Vertebrogenic Algic syndrome, by comparing the measured data of proband with different diagnosis locations Vertebrogenic Algic syndrome in the Czech Republic.

Detailed description

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.
