The authors' aim was to evaluate the effect of balance training on cervical joint position sense in people with subclinical neck pain. Thirty-four participants were randomly assigned to balance training or to stay active. Sensorimotor function was determined before and after 5 weeks of training by assessing the ability to reproduce the neutral head position and a predefined rotated head position. After balance training, the intervention group showed improved joint repositioning accuracy and decreased pain whereas no effects were observed in the control group. A weak correlation was identified between reduced neck pain intensity and improved joint repositioning. The present data demonstrate that balance training can effectively improve cervical sensorimotor function and decrease neck pain intensity.
作者的目的是评估平衡训练对亚临床颈部疼痛患者颈椎关节位置觉的影响。34名参与者被随机分配到平衡训练组或保持日常活动组。通过评估重现头部中立位和预定义旋转位的能力，在训练5周前后测定感觉运动功能。平衡训练后，干预组的关节重新定位准确性提高，疼痛减轻，而对照组未观察到效果。颈部疼痛强度降低与关节重新定位改善之间存在弱相关性。目前的数据表明，平衡训练可有效改善颈椎感觉运动功能并减轻颈部疼痛强度。
