Abstract
Patients with chronic mechanical neck pain showed larger sway areas in standing posture and reduced ability to successfully execute more challenging balance tasks. The purpose of the study was to determine the correlation between cervical proprioception and dynamic balance in patients with chronic mechanical neck pain. Eighty subjects were assigned into two groups, group (A) has sixty patients (7male, 53 female); mean age of (24.20 ± 4.11), suffering from chronic mechanical neck pain (neck pain persisted more than three month), and group (B) has twenty normal subjects (7male, 13 female); mean age of (25.00 ± 2.66). The active repositioning accuracy test level was measured by using CROM device and balance was measured by using biodex stability system, spearman correlation coefficient r was being calculated between different variables. Active repositioning accuracy test for (Rt, Lt. neck rotation and Rt, Lt neck side bending) was higher in group (A) than group (B) however, the dynamic balance was not impaired in the groups. There was statistically a weak correlation between cervical proprioception and dynamic balance in chronic mechanical neck pain. The current study concluded that there is cervical proprioception deficit in (CMNP), the dynamic balance does not impaired and there is a weak correlation between cervical proprioception and dynamic balance in chronic mechanical neck pain
