| Abstract Background: Cervical spondylosis is a chronic degenera-tive condition of the cervical spine causing neck pain. Prop-rioception errors may be contributes to the development and maintenance of cervical spondylosis. Aim of Study: The study aimed to determine the proprio-ceptive reposition errors in cervical spondylosis patients. Patients and Methods: Twenty patients with cervical spondylosis (Group A) and twenty matched healthy subjects (Group B). Their age ranged 30-50 years old were represented the sample of the study. Cervical Range of Motion device (CROM) was used for assessment of proprioception error in flexion and extension. Results: There was significant reduction in absolute angular error of neck flexion, extension at neutral and target head reposition tests in Group B compared to Group A (p<0.05). Conclusion: Cervical proprioceptive errors are increased in patients with cervical spondylosis in comparison with matched healthy subjects. | ||||
