The Effect of Corrective Exercises on Pain, Functionality, and Dual-Task Gait in Individuals With Chronic Neck Pain

Обзор

Our study will investigate the effects of corrective exercises on pain, functionality, and gait in individuals with chronic neck pain.

Подробное описание

This study is a randomized controlled trial. The study population will consist of a total of 70 individuals with chronic neck pain, including students and staff from Dokuz Eylül University and İzmir Katip Çelebi University. Participants' socio-demographic characteristics will be recorded through face-to-face interviews. The 'BTS G-Walk' device will be used for gait assessment, the Neck Disability Index for functionality assessment, and the Verbal Rating Scale for pain intensity assessment. First, gait measurements will be taken. Gait assessment will be performed using the BTS G-Walk, and individuals will walk a distance of 10 meters. Individuals will first walk in normal walking patterns, and then in a dual-task walking pattern while carrying a tray. Exercises will be taught to participants individually in face-to-face sessions, and then they will be asked to perform them as home exercises three times a week for six weeks. Face-to-face meetings will be held with participants every two weeks via video conference to gather feedback on the exercises and make necessary updates. Patients will be randomly divided into two groups. The first group will receive corrective exercise training, while the second group, the control group, will receive behavioral modification and posture training in daily life. The effects of these two methods on pain, functionality, and gait in individuals with chronic neck pain will be compared.
