摘要：Effect of soft cervical collar on proprioception in patients with non traumatic mechanical neck pain BACKGROUND: Cervical collar is commonly used by patients against non traumatic neck pain. Many studies report reduction of pain following the use of soft cervical collar. Proprioception is considered to make an essential contribution to functional stability of a joint. It is thought that pain can reduce proprioceptive acuity and that this may promote joint pathology in non traumatic neck pain. To date there are no studies that have investigated the immediate effect of soft cervical collar on proprioception in patients with non traumatic neck pain.
