No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In cervical radiculopathy, reduced endurance of the deep cervical flexor muscles is associated with impaired cervical proprioception. This relationship reflects altered sensorimotor control due to muscle dysfunction and neural compromise, emphasizing the need for deep flexor endurance training in rehabilitation.

Conditions

  • Cervical Radiculopathy

Interventions

DEVICE

cevical range of motion device

Cervical proprioception was evaluated using the Cervical Range of Motion (CROM) device by assessing joint position sense (JPS). With the participant seated in an upright position, the CROM device was securely fitted to the head. The patient was instructed to actively move the head from a neutral starting position into a specific direction (flexion, extension, rotation, or lateral flexion), then return to the perceived neutral position with eyes closed. The difference between the starting neutral position and the repositioned angle was recorded as the joint position error (JPE), measured in degrees. Multiple trials were performed for each movement direction, and the mean JPE value was calculated. Higher JPE values indicated poorer cervical proprioceptive accuracy. The CROM device is considered a reliable and valid clinical tool for quantifying cervical proprioception in patients with cervical radiculopathy.
