Brief Summary

PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of cervical muscle Fatigue on neck proprioception and postural stability during cervical flexion. BACKGROUND: Postural stability is the ability to maintain the body in equilibrium either at rest or in a steady state of motion . Muscle fatigue is the diminished response of muscle to repeated stimulus. Cervical proprioceptive inputs provide important somatosensory information influencing postural stability. Hence, the investigators performed this study to evaluate the effect of experimentally induced fatigue on general cervical musculature on postural stability . HYPOTHESES: This study will hypnotize that:

1. 1.Cervical flexor muscle fatigue will have a significant effect on neck proprioception
2. 2.Cervical muscle fatigue will have a significant effect on posture stability

Conditions

Muscle Fatigue

Keywords

fatigue ,deep neck flexor

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Induction of fatigue using isometric neck flexor muscle endurance test (NET):

  a. An isometric neck muscle endurance test (NME test) will be performed for the deep neck flexors (Rectus Capitus Anterior, Rectus Capitus Lateralis, Longus Capitus, Longus Colli) until exhaustion in all participants occurs. with the subject in hook lying position through CHIN RETRACTION AND HEAD ELEVATED FROM THE COUCH.

  six months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Measurement of neck proprioception using cervical joint position error test via OVERHEAD LASER POINTER

  six months

Other Outcomes (2)

• Multi-Directional Reach Test

  six months

• Biodex Balance System for The postural stability test

  six months
