Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Chronic neck pain causes errors in joint position. There are studies in the literature suggesting that the application of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization improves the sense of joint position. There are no studies that acutely examine this practice on joint position sense and pain in the cervical region. As a result of our study, we will investigate the effects of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization in a single session on perception of pain and joint position.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization In the application group, Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization will be applied to the Trapezius and Sternocleideomastoideus muscles for 90 seconds.	Other: Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization; Bilateral Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization application will be applied in a single session to the trapezius and sternocleideomastoideus muscles.
Sham Comparator: Sham Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization In the sham application group, 90 degrees to 90 seconds will be applied to the Trapezius and Sternocleideomastoideus muscles without applying pressure.	Other: Sham; Bilateral sham Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization application will be applied in a single session to the trapezius and sternocleideomastoideus muscles.
No Intervention: Control No application will be made to the control group.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

1. Change from Baseline Cervical Pain at 2 minutes [Baseline and 2 minutes after intervention]

   Pain will be evaluated with Visual Analog Scale.

2. Change from Baseline Joint Position Sense at 2 minutes [Baseline and 2 minutes after intervention]

   Joint Position Sense will be evaluated Cervical Range of Motion Device
