Cervicogenic headache is gaining prevalence in young adults along with proprioception deficit in the cervical region. Methodology: In this study, 30 participants who met the diagnostic criteria for Cervicogenic headache were randomized into two groups: experimental group and control group. The control group was given stretching exercises. The experimental group in addition to stretching perform...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: despite the potential benefits of virtual reality technology in physical rehabilitation, only a few studies have evaluated the efficacy of this type of treatment in patients with neck pain. objective: the aim of this study was to compare the effects of virtual reality training (vrt) versus conventional proprioceptive training (cpt) in pa...

Background. Fatigue is one of the factors causing disturbance in proprioception which can be manifested in two ways: general and local. Due to the important role of cervical proprioception on body stability and posture, research on the effects of general fatigue on proprioception helps to better understand its mechanism and to improve the strategies to prevent injury. Therefore, the aim of this...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to conduct cervical stability training and upper thoracic manipulation for patients with chronic neck pain and then investigate the changes of cervical proprioception and pain. [Subjects and Methods] Subjects were 30 workers with mechanical neck pain, who were randomly divided into an upper thoracic manipulation group and a cervical stability training gro...

Recent research highlights sensorimotor control disturbances in those with neck disorders. Assessment and management of the symptoms of dizziness, altered cervical proprioception, eye and head co-ordination and disturbances to postural stability in those with neck disorders are important and are presented in a companion article. In this paper, four case studies are presented to illustrate the f...

a number of studies have investigated the effect of age, trauma, disease and fatigue on cervical joint position sense. however, there is an absence in data regarding the role of posture on proprioception. the aim of the current study was to investigate the effect of forward head posture (fhp) on cervical joint position sense. twenty forward head posture volunteers (14 women, 6 men), with the me...

INTRODUCTION Neck pain (NP) is common among military helicopter pilots. Older age and more flight-hours have been associated with pilots with a history of NP. However, modifiable neuromuscular and musculoskeletal characteristics such as neck proprioception, strength, flexibility, and posture have rarely been investigated in military helicopter pilots with a history of NP. The purpose of the stu...
