Cervical proprioceptive training: Study group will receive proprioceptive training through use of a laser pointer in a similar way to the testing. From sitting position, patients were asked to flex, extend and rotate their head and then return to the neutral position . This training was commenced with open eyes. Each direction was repeated 8 times for two sets, 30 seconds rest between sets. Progression of exercise was achieved by closing eyes, and altering the duration (trace shapes for 5 minutes and progress by increasing 2-3 minutes weekly as tolerated), repetitions (2-3 repetitions weekly), sets (1 set weekly) and the degree of difficulty of the task (different shapes and positions as standing and walking)
Advices: Patients of control group were allowed to stay active, avoid poor cervical ergonomics (poor sleeping habits, improper use of mobile/telephone),hot/cold packs, some range of motion exercises, and local medicines as prescribed by their general practitioner.
Twenty-two male and female patients with neck pain participated in this study, aged from 25-40 years. They randomly distributed into 2 group: group (A, study) consisted of 11 patients received cervical proprioceptive training, while group (B, control) consisted of 11 patients received usual care. The treatment was performed 3 times per week for 1 month. The cervical proprioception (flexion, extension, right and left rotations) was assessed by Revel laser method as active joint angular reproduction \[absolute error\].
