Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Trunk position sense

    Inclinometer will be positioned at spinous process of 4th thoracic vertebrae during trunk position sense assessment. Subject will be retreated to neutral position and asked to come back taught position while eyes closed. Test will be repeated 3 times and angle of deviation from 30 degree flexion position will be recorded and the average of the results will be taken.

    immediately after the intervention

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Joint position sense of cervical spine

    immediately after the intervention

  • Thoracic kyphosis

    immediately after the intervention

  • Head-neck posture

    immediately after the intervention

  • Trunk extensor muscle endurance
