Abstract
Background:Postural scoliosis is the most common deformity of the spine. Cervical proprioception function may be affected in patients who suffered from postural scoliosis.Objective: To assess and analyzes the impairment on cervical proprioception function in patients with postural scoliosis, and to determine the correlation between Cobb{u2019}s angle and cervical proprioception function. Patients and Methods: Sixty subjects from both sexes represented the sample of the study.Their age ranges from 20-30 years old. Subjects were assigned into two equal groups. group (I) thirty patients diagnosed with postural scoliosis based on x-ray in addition to thirty normal matched subject’s group (II).Cervical range of motion device (CROM) was used for assessment of proprioception error in all directions(flexion, extension, side bending right, side bending left, rotation right and rotation left). Degree of postural scoliosis was determined by measuring Cobb{u2019}s angle. Results: There was a significant (p < 0.05) positive correlation between cobb{u2019}s angle and absolute angular error from NHP and THP in all directions (flexion, extension, right side bending, left side bending, right rotation and left rotation).There was a significant (p < 0.05) increase in flexion, extension, right side bending, left side bending, right rotation and left rotation of absolute angular errors in NHP and THP in patients group compared with control group
