Abstract:Background: Cervical range of motion (ROM) is a critical predictive measure for assessing neck pain-related conditions. It encompasses the degree of movement in the neck across different planes: flexion, extension, lateral flexion, and rotation. Proprioception, the ability to sense body segment position and movement in space, relies on the integration of sensory signals from mechanoreceptors. Impairments in cervical mobility and proprioception are commonly reported in individuals with conditions such as whiplash-associated disorders and general neck pain. This study aims to evaluate the effects of wearing helmet on proprioception and cervical spine mobility.
Objectives: To determine the impact of wearing helmet on Cervical Mobility and pain precipitation.
Methodology: The women’s are selected for this study having age group of 18-40 age group. They Visit Ratlam Medical Hospital Physiotherapy department. Tenderness, Spams, Cervical spondylitis females are excluded. Patient are instructed to sit on a chair and all the movement of neck are assessed by Goniometer. While on other hand checking their pain by giving command through VAS Score.
Result: Females in the non- helmet group had a significant reduction in CROM for right rotation 77.35±1.23, Left rotation 76.97±1.48, Flexion 42.4±3.68, Extension 40.17±3.67, Rt. Lateral Flexion 42.83±3.09, Lt. Lateral Flexion 43.43±2.86 compare to wearing Helmet.
Conclusion: Our study concluded that Helmet increase pain in the cervical area and effect the mobility of cervical spine.
