The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of combined spinal stabilizing exercise for cervical alignment. For this study, 20 people who had abnormal cervical alignment were randomly divided into four group(n=5 per group) ; Con(control group), Mat exe(mat exercise group), Swiss exe(swiss ball exercise group), Mixed exe(mat and swiss ball exercise group). Spinal stabilizing exercise was performed to total 6 set a day, four times a week, during 5 weeks with method, which 10 seconds hold and 5 seconds relax, 10 times on 1 set and rest time 1 minute after each set ends. The results of this study were summarized as follows. 1. The change of Jackson's angle were showed significant difference in the group Mat exe, Swiss exe, Mixed exe especially, showed greatest statistically significant difference in the Mixed exe group compared to the control group(p<.001). 2. The change of ROM were showed significant difference in the group Mat exe, Swiss exe, Mixed exe especially, showed greatest statistically significant difference in the Mixed exe group compared to the control group(p<.001). In conclusion, experimental group performed spinal stabilizing exercise that cause ROM and Jackson's angle better coordinate flexor and extensor muscles of spine. Experimental group performed combined spinal stabilizing exercise can be effective for cervical alignment. Experimental group Mixed exe that performed mat and swiss ball exercises together shows significant difference and greatest effect as compared with other experimental group. Therefore, the combined spinal stabilizing exercise can be effective in rehabilitation to normal range of curvature of the cervical spine and in the increase of ROM.
