Effectiveness of sensorimotor training on pain, cervical joint position sense, range of motion, balance, and disability in chronic neck pain: A systematic review
Chronic neck pain is a prevalent condition with multifactorial etiology, significantly impairing quality of life and increasing healthcare burdens. Sensorimotor training (SMT) is a targeted intervention addressing proprioceptive deficits, cervical range of motion (CROM), balance, and disability.
Assessment of Cervical Joint Position Sense and Head Posture in Individuals With Myogenic Temporomandibular Dysfunctions and Identifying Related Factors: A Case-Control Study
Temporomandibular dysfunctions (TMDs) have the potential to cause changes in cervical muscle strength, muscle endurance and position sense by changing muscle activation patterns, especially as a result of forward head posture. The effects of TMDs on cervical joint position sense (CJPS) and head posture remain controversial.
Measurement properties of cervical joint position error in people with and without neck pain: a systematic review and narrative synthesis
Proprioception can be impaired in people with neck pain. The cervical joint position sense test, which measures joint position error (JPE), is the most common test used to assess neck proprioception. The aim of this systematic review was to assess the measurement properties of this test for the assessment of people with and without neck pain.
