Clinical Trial Summary

Chronic neck pain causes errors in joint position sense. There are studies in the literature suggesting that instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization and Kinesiotape applications improve the joint position sense. There is no study examining these applications acutely on joint position sense and pain in the cervical region. As a result of our study, we will compare the effects of single-session instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization and Kinesiotape application on pain and joint position sense.

Description:

The study will be carried out on volunteers after the approval of the ethics committee. Before the research, individuals and / or their relatives will be informed about the purpose and content of the study. Volunteer individuals between the ages of 18-45 with chronic neck pain will be included in the study after obtaining their informed consent.

Participants will be randomly divided into two groups: Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization and Kinesiotape Applications.

In the instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization group, the trapezius and sternocleidomastoideus muscles will be applied in a single session for 90 seconds. Kinesiotape application will be applied to the trapezius and sternocleidomastoideus muscles in one session.

Pain will be evaluated with Visual Analog Scale and joint position sense will be evaluated with Cervical Range of Motion device before and after application.
