Evaluation of Cervicocephalic Kinesthetic Sensibility in Subjects with Chronic Neck Pain: A Cross – Sectional Study
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
Background: In the modern society neck pain is a major problem, which frequently becomes chronic and/or recurring. According to a systemic review the overall prevalence of neck pain in general population ranged between 0.4% - 86.8%. To determine subject’s ability to return their head to a predetermined position without visual cues after they have moved, the cervicocephalic kinesthetic sensibility test has been used. Methodology: Twenty – nine subjects were screened aged 40 – 60 years. 26 subjects having chronic neck pain were recruited in the study. Neck range of motion and pain was assessed using universal goniometer and visual analog scale (VAS) respectively. Subjects were given Northwick Park neck pain questionnaire for perception of individual concerning pain and ability to manage in everyday life. The subjects were measured for repositioning error by the cervicocephalic kinesthetic sensibility test using beam of light and universal goniometer. Results: Independent t test showed there is statistical difference in the male and female error with beam of light in case of cervical flexion (p=0.0019). The correlation between error with beam of light with left cervical lateral flexion scores in case of Northwick Park neck pain questionnaire is statistically significant (p=0.0313), But there was no statistical difference in male and female components. Conclusion: There is no significant difference in cervicocephalic kinesthetic sensibility using beam of light and universal goniometer in subjects with chronic neck pain.
