Özet
It is very important to determine the factors that can be affected in order to improve the altered sensorimotor function in individuals with forward
head posture, in creating the rehabilitation program. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between cervical
proprioception and cervical muscle endurance with hand-eye coordination and postural control in individuals with forward head posture and to
compare them with a control group with normal head posture. In this cross-sectional study, 22 individuals with forward head posture (Group 1) and
13 individuals with normal head posture (Group 2) with a mean age of 21.59 (20-23) years and 22.0 (21-24) years, respectively, were included.
While 86.4% of the individuals in Group 1 were women and 13.6% were men, 76.9% of the individuals in Group 2 were women and 23.1% were
men. Cervical proprioception was evaluated with the head repositioning accuracy test, hand-eye coordination with the alternate wall toss test,
postural control (postural stability test, limits of stability test and modified clinical test of sensory integration) with the Biodex-BioSwayTM device,
and cervical endurance with the flexor and extensor endurance test. According to the results of this study, it was determined that the cervical right
and left rotation proprioception, cervical flexor and extensor muscle endurance and hand-eye coordination scores of the individuals in Group 1 were
lower than Group 2 (p<0.001). Postural control parameters were similar (p>0.05). Cervical proprioception and flexor muscle endurance and handeye coordination were found to be well correlated in individuals with forward head posture (p<0.05; r: -0.549; -0.621; 0.514, respectively) (p<0.05).
However, cervical proprioception and flexor muscle endurance were not associated with postural control (p>0.05). Proprioception, cervical muscle
endurance and hand-eye coordination parameters should be taken into consideration in the exercise program of individuals with forward head
posture for the regulation of sensorimotor function required for proper head posture.
