A New Method To Measure Cervical Proprioception

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

To evaluate cervical proprioception (CP), frontal plane target platforms defined Revel technique measurement commonly used as an alternative to the Cervical Range of Motion (CROM) device in laser measurements for the head repositioning accuracy (HRA) test. However, when evaluating CP, the plane where the movement of the atlanto-axial joint takes place is the horizontal plane. Therefore, the investigators aimed to investigate the validity and reliability of CP measurements conducted via AOS PropPoint® device on the horizontal and frontal platforms, and the investigators hypothesized that horizontal platform measurement is more reliable and valid than frontal plane measurement.

Clinical Trial Description

It has been reported in a number of studies that methods utilizing laser are practical, easy, portable, and inexpensive in clinical use, a standardized and branded laser apparatus and system have not been identified. This has caused problems about whether the laser equipment used in the literature is valid and reliable in the evaluation of cervical proprioception (CP). Besides, the head repositioning accuracy (HRA) test, which was designed before for CP assessment and standardized with trigonometric equations, carries out measurements in the frontal plane. In addition, cervical rotation in the atlanto-axial joint occurs in the horizontal plane. Therefore, the investigators presume that evaluating the biomechanical motion occurring in the horizontal plane and transferring it directly to the horizontal plane will be more practical and reliable for practitioners. The subjects' HRA values were measured through AOS ProPoint® device in the horizontal and frontal platforms and also through the CROM device. Each measurement was repeated bilaterally three times, and they were averaged. To validate the measurement method, a comparison between the CROM device used as the gold standard and the measurement values was made. Test-retest and inter-rater reliability scores were calculated to evaluate the reliability of the horizontal measurement method. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
