Brief Summary:
Proprioceptive sensitivity decreases in individuals with neck pain compared to those without neck pain While organizing the treatment program of patients with neck pain evaluation of cervical proprioception and its addition to the treatment have gained importance
The aim of the study was to examine the effects of muscle energy technique applied to patients with chronic neck pain on cervical proprioception and motor control and to compare the results of muscle energy technique application with cervical mobilization techniques

Detailed Description:
Cervical spondylosis SS is defined as chronic disc degeneration due to aging caused by degenerative changes in the muscles tendons joints or bones of the neck or shoulder
The etiology of cervical spondylosis includes various factors such as bad posture anxiety depression neck strain and overload in sports or occupational activities Proprioception is defined as sensory feedback that contributes to muscle sensation postural balance and joint stability It is possible that loss of cervical proprioception and motor control affect segmental stability This increases the risk of injury following minor trauma It has been reported that proprioceptive sensitivity is worse in individuals with neck pain compared to those without neck pain and the degree of the disorder is related to the severity of pain Some evidence-based studies have shown that manual techniques improve proprioception and motor control
It has been shown that Muscle Energy Technique MET which has gained popularity in recent years increases cervical joint mobility and reduces pain in patients with chronic neck pain MET is a form a manual therapy which uses a muscles own energy in the form of gentle isometric contractions to relax the muscles via autogenic or reciprocal inhibition mechanism It has been reported that MET stimulates joint proprioceptors creates a different movement activity in the area of proprioceptive disorder and allows the central nervous system to normalize proprioceptive and motor coordination in this segment The effect of MET on cervical proprioception in patients with cervical spondylosis has not been investigated yet
Active participation of the patient in movement is extremely important in proprioceptive feedback motor control and motor learning For this reason it is thought that investigating the effect of MET which includes active muscle contractions of the patient on proprioceptive sense and comparing the results with passive applications manipulation or mobilization will be useful in determining the optimal treatment method in cervical spondylosis
