摘要：Introduction:Cervical spine ischaracterized by the greatest mobility among other parts of the spine. High mobility and relatively low load which is the subject's neck (own weight, the weight of the head, tension arising from the work of the shoulder girdle) that make it vulnerable injuries and overload resulting from adverse external conditions. Neck pain is a common issue in modern society but the sources of its development can be many. According to many researchers, long-lasting neck pain disturbs afferent nerve conduction perpetuating the abnormal muscle tone in the occiput, neck and shoulder girdle, thusadversely affecting the proprioceptive sensibility in the cervical spine. Stability small disorderscan occur many years before the onset of other clinical symptoms, dry as disc protrusions or radiologically confirmed features of disc degeneration, significantly hindering the functioning of patients and Potentially limiting the maximum performance of an athlete. Study objective:The aim of this study is topresent possibilities of using a Laser Tracker, a simple and compact device which isintended to examine and train proprioception within the head and neck. Conclusion:In the light of the roles thatthe cervical spine plays for the posture of the whole body and of the fact That proper proprioception is the main pillar of prevention of overload injuries and determines normal neuromuscular control, it is worth assisting the therapy with a visual feedback. That possibility isgiven to the Laser Tracker. In the therapeutic practice, it seems to have an invaluable roleand further top unlimited options for use.
