Fascial Mobilization Along the Vagus Nerve and Its Effects on Acute Physiological Parameters in Obstructive Sleep Apnea

"Reference Points of the Body Regions for Mobilization~1. Occipito-Mastoid Suture (OM) The occipitomastoid suture is the cranial suture located between the occipital bone and the mastoid part of the temporal bone. The condylus squamosa mastoidea serves as the pivot point. The patient lies in the supine position while the physiotherapist sits at the head of the patient. One hand is placed under the occiput at the suture, while the other hand is placed on the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. The patient's head is turned toward the direction of mobilization, and mobilization is performed using the weight of the head (25). Each application is planned as a single repetition lasting 120 seconds.~2. Anterior Cervical Region (Triangle) Topographically, this region is located at the anterior part of the neck, extending along the seven cervical vertebrae (C1-C7). The anterior triangle is bordered superiorly by the lower margin of the mandible, laterally by the anterior median line of the s"
