“…In this study, we used the common assessment tools for dizziness, such as DHI, NDI, VAS, and posturography. There was a possibility to use an emerging tool to assess cervicogenic dizziness such as the Jenaer Standing Stability Score ( 25 ) or the Horizontal Plane Target Platform ( 26 ) in the future study.…”

BackgroundCervicogenic dizziness is a clinical syndrome characterized by neck pain and dizziness. Recent evidence suggested that self-exercise could improve a patient's symptoms. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of self-exercise as an add-on therapy in patients with non-traumatic cervicogenic dizziness.MethodsPatients with non-traumatic cervicogenic dizziness were randomly assigned to the self-exercise and control groups. The self-exercise group was instructed to perform muscle, mobilization, and oculomotor training at home while there was no specific training given to the control group. The neck pain, dizziness symptoms, and their impact on daily life were evaluated by the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) scale, the Neck Disability Index (NDI) scale, and the visual analog scale (VAS). The objective outcomes included the range of motion test of the neck and the posturography test. All outcomes were evaluated at 2 weeks after the initial treatment.ResultsA total of 32 patients participated in this study. The average age of the participants was 48 years. The DHI score of the self-exercise group after the treatment was significantly lower when compared to the control group [mean difference (MD) 25.92 points, 95% CI 4.21–47.63, p = 0.021]. The NDI score after treatment was also significantly lower in the self-exercise group (MD 6.16 points, 95% CI 0.42–11.88, p = 0.036). However, there was no statistical difference in the VAS score, the range of motion test, and the posturography test between the two groups (p > 0.05). No significant side effects were noted in either of the groups.ConclusionSelf-exercise is effective in reducing dizziness symptoms and its impact on daily life in patients with non-traumatic cervicogenic dizziness.

“…CJPET measurements were performed with an AOS PropPoint® device with a laser apparatus. A validity and reliability study of the AOS PropPoint® device was performed by Köseo ğ lu et al [ 30 ], and according to the results obtained, it was found that the device is a valid and reliable method for the measurement of cervical proprioception. A 180° platform drawn with 1° intervals was used with the help of a small laser fixed to the head apparatus.…”

Background Neck and jaw pain is common and is associated with jaw functional limitations, postural stability, muscular endurance, and proprioception. This study aimed to investigate the effect of jaw and neck pain on cranio-cervico-mandibular functions and postural stability in patients with temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJDs). Methods Fifty-two patients with TMJDs were included and assessed using Fonseca's Questionnaire and the Helkimo Clinical Dysfunction Index. An isometric strength test was performed for the TMJ depressor and cervical muscles. The TMJ position sense (TMJPS) test and cervical joint position error test (CJPET) were employed for proprioception. Total sway degree was obtained for the assessment of postural stability. Deep neck flexor endurance (DNFE) was assessed using the craniocervical flexion test. The mandibular function impairment questionnaire (MFIQ) was employed to assess mandibular function, and the craniovertebral angle (CVA) was measured for forward head posture. Results Jaw and neck pain negatively affected CVA (R 2 = 0.130), TMJPS (R 2 = 0.286), DNFE (R 2 = 0.355), TMJ depressor (R 2 = 0.145), cervical flexor (R 2 = 0.144), and extensor (R 2 = 0.148) muscle strength. Jaw and neck pain also positively affected CJPET for flexion (R 2 = 0.116) and extension (R 2 = 0.146), as well as total sway degree (R 2 = 0.128) and MFIQ (R 2 = 0.230). Conclusions Patients with painful TMJDs, could have impaired muscle strength and proprioception of the TMJ and cervical region. The jaw and neck pain could also affect postural stability, and the endurance of deep neck flexors as well as mandibular functions in TMJDs.

BACKGROUND: Cranio-cervico-mandibular (CCM) malalignment is associated with forward head posture (FHP) and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and affects masticatory muscles. OBJECTIVE: This randomized, double-blind controlled trial aimed to compare the efficacy of scapula-thoracic (ST) exercises on temporomandibular and cervical joint position sense and postural stability in individuals with CCM malalignment. METHODS: Fourty-nine participants with CCM malalignment were randomly assigned to the ST exercise group (STEG, n= 24) or the control group (CG, n= 25). STEG included progressive strengthening, proprioceptive, and stabilization exercises. All participants were assessed before treatment, at the end of the 8th week treatment period and at the 12th week post-treatment follow-up. Cranio-vertebral angle measurement, Fonseca’s Questionnaire, Helkimo Clinical Dysfunction Index, TMJ position test, cervical joint position error test and postural stability assessment were used. RESULTS: The TMJ and cervical joint position sense, total sway degree, area gap percentage, sway velocity and antero-posterior body sway results showed significant improvement in the STEG compared to the CG (p< 0.05), however medio-lateral body sway did not differ between groups (p> 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Postural stability, TMJ and cervical joint position sense appear to be affected in individuals with CCM malalignment. Our results showed that an exercise program including ST stabilization, proprioception and strengthening of the scapular muscles may be effective in the management of CCM malalignment and will allow clinicians to plan holistic treatment.
