The position sense and kinesthesia are defined as proprioception. In other words, proprioception allows being aware of positions of the body parts in the space. Muscles, tendons, joint capsules are source of proprioception.~Possible damage to these structures due to inflammation may cause diminished proprioception sense. Decreased proprioception was shown for cervical region in axial spondyloarthritis patients in a recent study.~Different exercise programs may help increasing proprioception. Therefore, the aim of the present study is investigate the effects of cervical stabilization exercises on cervical proprioception accuracy.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of cervical stabilization exercises on cervical positioning error in spondyloarthritis patients.
