“…Similarly, other studies have revealed a significant greater error in patients with chronic idiopathic neck pain when compared with asymptomatic controls, despite the variability in methods used in these studies [68,[82][83][84][85][86][87]. Cervical proprioceptive errors in the patients with cervical spondylosis were also shown to be significantly larger than those of the healthy control group, indicating that the cervical proprioception in the cervical spondylosis was impaired [55]. A systematic review including 14 studies suggested that JPE was significantly higher in the neck pain group than in the control group [79].…”

“…As mentioned above, muscle spindles densely packed in the deep neck muscles are the main source of proprioception afferents in the neck. These structural and functional changes in the cervical deep and superficial muscles can change the discharge of muscle spindles, which affects the afferent input and leads to alterations in proprioception [13,55]. The results suggest that the complexity and multifaceted nature of neck muscle impairment exists in people with chronic neck pain.…”

Neck pain is a common cause of disability worldwide, but its basic pathology and pathophysiology are still unclear.Cervical spine has a very delicate proprioceptive system that plays a crucial role in controlling posture and balance.One of the main problems of patients with neck pain is that the alteration of cervical proprioception leads to the disturbance of cervical sensorimotor control.To date, eight neck sensorimotor control tests have been reported to evaluate patients with chronic neck pain, with the most commonly used test being the JPE test.Studies support the effectiveness of exercises targeting different aspects of sensorimotor function, in particular retraining aimed at improving cervical proprioception and muscle coordination.

“…Considering that the application of Kinesio™ tape was improper, even though it was applied to the cervical muscles, it could have provided sensory feedback during neck movements, thereby decreasing mechanical irritation of soft tissues [ 34 – 36 ]. There may be another explanation: a strong relationship between neck pain intensity and cervical proprioception in participants with neck pain [ 37 ], considering that increased pain intensity impairs cervical proprioception and vice versa. As we evidenced, there was a decrease in pain intensity at the 7th-day follow-up.…”

Background Neck proprioception is critical in maintaining neuromuscular control in and around cervical joints. Kinesio™ tape may assist in rehabilitating joint position sense. The current study compares Kinesio™ tape’s effects versus a placebo on proprioception in college athletes experiencing mechanical neck pain. Methods This study randomized sixty-six athletes with mechanical neck pain into a Kinesio™ tape group (n = 33, mean age = 22.73 years) or placebo group (n = 33, mean age = 23.15 years). The Kinesio™ tape group received standard Kinesio™ taping applications with appropriate tension, while the placebo group received taping applications without tension. Outcome measures: The study assessed cervical joint position errors with a cervical range-of-motion (CROM) device, pain intensity with a visual analog scale (VAS), and neck functional disability with a neck disability index (NDI). It tested joint position errors through cervical flexion, extension, rotation left, and rotation right. All the outcome measures were recorded at the baseline and twice more following 3 and 7 days of tape applications. Results Multivariate analysis of variance test demonstrated a significant reduction in joint position errors in flexion, extension and right rotation following 3 days and 7 days of tape application among the Kinesio™ tape group. There was a significant main effect of time (P < 0.05) for joint position errors in left rotation and VAS after 3 days (p > 0.05), NDI after 3 and 7 days (p > 0.05). Conclusions The Kinesio™ tape application after 3 and 7 days effectively decreased joint position errors and neck pain intensity in mechanical neck pain participants compared to placebo, while there was no difference between both groups in the NDI. Trial registration (CTRI/2011/07/001925). This study was retrospectively registered on the 27th July, 2011. Level of evidence IIB

“…At a given point in time, approximately 14 % to 16 % of the adult population globally experience neck pain [2] and the mean lifetime prevalence is 48.5 % [2]. Neck pain is associated with impaired postural control, increased cervical joint position errors, forward head posture, decreased neck muscle strength, impaired neuromuscular sensitivity, and altered motor control in the cervical spine [3,4]. Studies show reduced neck muscle strength in chronic neck pain (CNP) [4].…”

Purpose Neck extensor endurance (NEE) and position sense are vital for maintaining cervical spine function and defects in these processes may be associated with impaired postural control in chronic neck pain (CNP) subjects. The study’s objectives are 1) to compare the cervical extensor endurance capability and postural control of CNP subjects with those of asymptomatic controls; 2) to investigate the association between NEE and postural control. Materials and Methods Sixty-four participants (38 asymptomatic, 38 with CNP) participated in this cross-sectional study. NEE was assessed using a clinical extensor endurance test. Under open and closed eyes conditions, postural control measures were tested with the Good Balance system. The postural control parameters were AP-velocity (mm/s), ML-velocity (mm/s) and Velocity moment (mm2). NEE capacity and postural control parameters were compared and correlated between asymptomatic and CNP subjects. Results and Discussion CNP subjects showed lower NEE capacity (p<0.001) and significantly larger AP-velocity (p<0.001), ML-velocity (p<0.001) and Velocity moment (p<0.001) than asymptomatic participants. NEE negatively correlated with AP-velocity (r=−0.51, p=0.001), ML-velocity (r=0.46, p=0.003) and velocity moment (r=0.38, p=0.020) in asymptomatic subjects in eyes open condition and no correlations in subjects with CNP. CNP subjects showed increased postural sway velocities and lowered extensor endurance capacity compared to asymptomatic participants. No correlations existed between NEE and postural control parameters in CNP subjects.
