Does the Degree of Cervical Stenosis Affect Proprioception?

Sponsor: Izmir Democracy University

Summary

Neck pain is a common health problem that negatively affects the quality of life of individuals of different age groups and most people experience this problem at some point in their lives. With age, changes occur in the neuromuscular functions of the cervical region that are considered normal. These changes lead to many problems such as postural disorder, decreased stabilization, loss of normal joint motion, balance disorders and decreased cervical joint position sense. When the literature was examined, the situation was observed that cervical proprioception, which is defined as joint position sense, has not been sufficiently investigated. In particular, researchers have not found any literature on how proprioceptive sensation varies according to the degree of cervical stenosis. Therefore, this study will provide a direction for the treatment of cervical region problems. The data will be discussed with appropriate statistical methods and treatment recommendations will be presented according to the results obtained.
