Neck Pain, Virtual Reality
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of virtual reality and cervical mobilization on proprioception, balance parameters, pain, disability level, quality of life and overall felt effect in individuals with chronic neck pain. In addition, it is aimed to qualitatively evaluate the virtual reality perspectives of individuals with chronic neck pain.
Interventions
OTHERvirtual reality
The individuals participating in the study will experience virtual reality.
The individuals participating in the study will be applied cervical mobilization techniques.
OTHERexercise
The individuals participating in the study will performed neck-specific exercises.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Functional Balance | Change from Baseline proprioception after 4 weeks/10 sessions. | 10 meter walking speed and four square step-test will be combined to report dynamic balance. |
| Baropodometer assessments-Pressure distribution | Change from Baseline proprioception after 4 weeks/10 sessions. | Pressure distribution will assess with FreeMed baropodometric platform and will record as percentage. |
| Baropodometer assessments- Center of gravity | Change from Baseline proprioception after 4 weeks/10 sessions. | Center of gravity will assess with FreeMed baropodometric platform and will record as mm. |
| Baropodometer assessments- Oscillations | Change from Baseline proprioception after 4 weeks/10 sessions. | Oscillations will assess with FreeMed baropodometric platform. |
| Baropodometer assessments- Sway velocity | Change from Baseline proprioception after 4 weeks/10 sessions. | Sway velocity will assess with FreeMed baropodometric platform and will record as degrees. |
| Joint position sense error | Change from Baseline balance after 4 weeks/10 sessions. | Proprioception in all cervical directions will assessed by Cervical Range of Motion device. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Functional disability | Change from Baseline functional disability after 4 weeks/ 10 sessions. | Neck Disability Index will be used to assess this outcome measure. |
| quality of life about cervical pain | Change from Baseline quality of life about cervical pain after 4 weeks/ 10 sessions. | SF-36 will be used to assess this outcome measure. |
| Global perceived effect | Change from Baseline Global perceived effect after 4 weeks/ 10 sessions. | Global perceived effect scale will be used to assess this outcome measure/ 10 sessions. |
| Cervical Pain | Change from Baseline cervical pain after 4 weeks/ 10 sessions. | Visual Analog Scale will be used to assess this outcome measure. |
