Beinert, Konstantin Taube, Wolfgang 2013 The authors’ aim was to evaluate the effect of balance training on cervical joint position sense in people with subclinical neck pain. Thirty-four participants were randomly assigned to balance training or to stay active. Sensorimotor function was determined before and after 5 weeks of training by assessing the ability to reproduce the neutral head position and a predefined rotated head position. After balance training, the intervention group showed improved joint repositioning accuracy and decreased pain whereas no effects were observed in the control group. A weak correlation was identified between reduced neck pain intensity and improved joint repositioning. The present data demonstrate that balance training can effectively improve cervical sensorimotor function and decrease neck pain intensity. application/pdf https://folia.unifr.ch/global/documents/303149 https://folia.unifr.ch/documents/303149/files/tau_ebt.pdf eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1080/00222895.2013.785928 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess License undefined Journal of Motor Behavior. - 2013, vol. 45, no. 3, p. 271-278 balance exercise cervical spine postural control proprioception info:eu-repo/classification/udc/57 The effect of balance training on cervical sensorimotor function and neck pain http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
