AI Summary & Key Takeaways

⚡ TL;DR(Too Long; Didn't Read)

Head posture was assessed by craniovertebral anglemeasurement, and muscle endurance was evaluated by the deep neck flexor endurance test.Results: All balance tests results, joint position error value, and deep neck flexor muscleendurance were better in the control group than in the neck pain group (p0.05).Conclusion: Our results indicate that chronic neck pain negatively affects the balance,cervical proprioception, and muscle endurance in the elderly.

Abstract

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of chronic nonspecificneck pain on balance, cervical proprioception, head posture, and deep neck flexor muscleendurance in the elderly.Materials and Method: Elderly participants aged ≥65 years with chronic neck pain (n=16;9 females) and without neck pain [n=16; 8 females (control group)] were included in this study.Balance function of the participants was assessed using the SportKAT 550 kinesthetic balancedevice, one-leg standing test, and timed up and go test. The joint position error test was usedto evaluate cervical proprioception. Head posture was assessed by craniovertebral anglemeasurement, and muscle endurance was evaluated by the deep neck flexor endurance test.Results: All balance tests results, joint position error value, and deep neck flexor muscleendurance were better in the control group than in the neck pain group (p0.05).Conclusion: Our results indicate that chronic neck pain negatively affects the balance,cervical proprioception, and muscle endurance in the elderly. Our study results will guidehealth professionals to plan appropriate treatment strategies for the elderly with neck pain.

Özet

Giriş: Bu çalışmanın amacı, yaşlı popülasyonda kronik nonspesifik boyun ağrısının denge, servikal propriosepsiyon, baş postürü ve derin boyun fleksör kas enduransı üzerine etkisini incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 65 yaş ve üzeri kronik boyun ağrılı (n=16; 9 kadın) ve boyun ağrısı olmayan [n=16; 8 kadın (kontrol grubu)] yaşlı bireyler dahil edildi. Katılımcıların denge fonksiyonu SportKAT 550 kinestetik denge cihazı, tek ayak üzerinde durma testi ve zamanlı kalk yürü testi kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Servikal propriosepsiyonu değerlendirmek için “eklem pozisyon hata testi” kullanıldı. Baş postürü kraniovertebral açı ölçümü ve kas enduransı “derin boyun fleksör endurans testi” ile değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Kontrol grubunda tüm denge test sonuçları, eklem pozisyon hata değeri ve derin fleksör kas enduransı boyun ağrılı gruba göre daha iyiydi (p0.05). Sonuç: Çalışma sonuçları kronik boyun ağrısının yaşlılarda denge, servikal propriosepsiyon ve kas enduransını olumsuz yönde etkilediğini işaret etmektedir. Sonuçlar; boyun ağrılı yaşlılarda uygun tedavi stratejilerini belirlemek için sağlık profesyonellerine yol gösterici olacaktır.
