Brief Summary

Chronic neck pain causes errors in joint position. There are studies in the literature suggesting that the application of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization improves the sense of joint position. There are no studies that acutely examine this practice on joint position sense and pain in the cervical region. As a result of our study, we will investigate the effects of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization in a single session on perception of pain and joint position.

Conditions

Neck Pain

Keywords

Joint Position Sense; Soft Tissue; Mobilization; Neck Pain

Outcome Measures

  Pain will be evaluated with Visual Analog Scale.

  Baseline and 2 minutes after intervention

• Change from Baseline Joint Position Sense at 2 minutes

  Joint Position Sense will be evaluated Cervical Range of Motion Device

  Baseline and 2 minutes after intervention

Study Arms (3)

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization

EXPERIMENTAL

In the application group, Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization will be applied to the Trapezius and Sternocleideomastoideus muscles for 90 seconds.
