Proprioception and Eye-head Coordination for the Cervical Spine

Proprioception and Eye-head Coordination for the Cervical Spine

Specific aims of this project were as follows:

1. To investigate the eye-head coordination of patients with cervical spine degeneration.
2. To investigate the relationship of these impairment measurements (range of motion, muscle power, proprioception, sensory threshold, eye-head coordination) and functional outcome (neck disability index, quality of life evaluation).
3. To develop a computer assistant device and software for the proprioceptive training and eye-head coordination.
4. To provide a treatment and prevention program emphasized on proprioception treatment and coordination for employee with neck-shoulder complaints.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Group one: participants without degenerated disease in cervical spine
• Group two: participants with degenerated disease in cervical spine

Exclusion Criteria:

• Grade III, IV degenerated cervical spine
