The Effects of Manual Therapy Applied to the Cervical Region on Balance and Proprioception in Patients With Nonspesific Neck Pain: A Randomised Placebo Controlled Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Cervical mobilization and Placebo mobilization for Neck Pain. Completed, enrolled 66 participants across 3 sites.
Detailed Summary
Introduction: Neck pain causes disturbances in both proprioception and balance. The aim of the present study is to determine the effect of mobilization applied to the cervical region on static/dynamic balance and cervical proprioception in patients with nonspecific neck pain (NSNP). Materials and Methods: ... patients were randomly allovated into two groups. Both grups received conventional physiotherapy program (hot pack with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation); additionally, the experimental group received mobilization, and the control group received placebo mobilization twice a week for 3 weeks. Before and 3 weeks later, static/dynamic balance, cervical proprioception, cervical mobility and pain were evaluated respectively with Kinesthetic Skill Training System 3000 device, joint position error test, Cervical Joint Range of Motion Device, Visual Analogue Scale.
