| Popis: | Objectives: This study intends to provide basic materials for selecting an appropriate type of pillow that will maintain the cervical spine to be in a neutral position during sleeping time. Methods/Statistical analysis: Twenty-eight male and female adults agreed to participate in this study. 30 minutes to measure the amount of change in the coordinates. Towel were spread on a hard and flat floor and the pillows were horizontally placed parallel to the x-axis of the three-dimensional motion analyzer with one of their corners positioned at the origin of coordinates. The participants lied on their pillow with their head located right in the middle of their pillow and for those who lied on a Memory foam Pillow (MP) or a functional pillow, they located their neck on the neck-supporting part of their pillow. The participants were put to the test for 30 minutes for each type of pillow and during the experiment, they were prohibited from talking or moving. One way repeated ANOVA is used to compare the change in the coordinate in time of the three pillows. Findings: The descriptive statistics that show the location of the pillows and the participants’ heads. Except for Lt 2 and Lt 3, all the markers showed a significant difference (p |
