Abstract

Purpose/Aim: The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between cervical proprioception sense and balance, hand grip strength, cervical region muscle strength and upper extremity functionality in healthy young subjects.

Methods: A total of 200 people with a mean age of 20.8 ± 1.8 participated in the study. Cervical proprioception sense of the participants was evaluated with Cervical Joint Position Error Test (CJPET), balance with Biodex Stability System, hand grip strength with hand dynamometer, and upper extremity functionality with Perdue Pegboard test. The relationship of variables with cervical proprioception was evaluated with Pearson Correlation analysis.

Results: According to this study results, there was no significant relationship between CJPET (extension, left rotation, right rotation) and sub-parameters of dynamic balance (anteroposterior, mediolateral, overall), cervical muscle strength and hand grip strength (p > 0.05). There was a significant correlation between CJPET flexion and static balance variables (p < 0.05).

Conclusion: According to this study, there is no relationship between cervical proprioception and balance, hand grip muscle strength, cervical region muscle strength and upper extremity functionality in healthy young subjects.

摘要

目的/目的：本研究的目的是检查健康年轻受试者的颈椎本体感觉和平衡、手握力、颈部肌肉力量和上肢功能之间的关系。

方法：共有 200 名平均年龄为 20.8 ± 1.8 岁的人参与了这项研究。通过颈椎关节位置误差测试 (CJPET) 评估参与者的颈椎本体感觉，通过 Biodex 稳定性系统评估平衡，通过手测力计评估手握强度，通过 Perdue Pegboard 测试评估上肢功能。用 Pearson 相关分析评估变量与颈椎本体感觉的关系。

结果：根据本研究结果，CJPET（伸展、左旋、右旋）与动态平衡子参数（前后、内侧、整体）、颈肌力量和手握力之间无显着关系（ p >  0.05 ). CJPET 屈曲和静态平衡变量之间存在显着相关性 ( p  < 0.05)。

结论：根据本研究，健康年轻受试者的颈椎本体感觉与平衡、手握肌力、颈部肌肉力量和上肢功能之间没有关系。
