摘要: Abstract Rix GD, Bagust J. Cervicocephalic kinesthetic sensibility in patients with chronic, nontraumatic cervical spine pain. Arch Phys Med Rehabil 2001;82:911-9. Objective: To investigate cervicocephalic (head repositioning accuracy to subjective straight ahead) Design: A prospective, 2-group, observational design. Setting: An outpatient chiropractic clinic the United Kingdom. Participants: Eleven (6 men, 5 women; mean age ± standard deviation, 41.1 13.3yr; range, 18-55yr) pain (mean duration, 24 18mo), no evidence of radiculopathy and/or myelopathy or any other neurologic disorder. asymptomatic, unimpaired volunteers (5 6 age, 39.3 10.3yr; 28-54yr) history whiplash injury served as controls. Main Outcome Measures: was investigated by testing ability blindfolded participants relocate accurately head on trunk, a straight-ahead position, after near-maximal active movement horizontal vertical plane. The range motion and duration intensity neck were also recorded. Results: Mann-Whitney U indicated that patient (P) group less accurate than control (C) for all directions except flexion (median global positioning error [95% confidence interval], P=5.7° [5.03-9.10], C=4.2° [3.17-5.32]; p
