Arm Description
An exercise program consisting of stretching exercises, posture exercises and breathing exercises and lasting approximately 20-30 minutes will be applied to the individuals in all 3 groups. The virtual reality group will performe virtual reality for an additional 20 minutes. (Oculus GO)
An exercise program consisting of stretching exercises, posture exercises and breathing exercises and lasting approximately 20-30 minutes will be applied to the individuals in all 3 groups. Mobilization techniques that will mobilize the cervical region will be applied to the cervical mobilization group for 20 minutes.
Control group will only perform an exercise program.
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Proprioception
Proprioception in all cervical directions will assessed by Cervical Range of Motion device.
Balance
Unilateral stance and body sway will assessed with FreeMed baropedometric platform.
Dynamic Balance
10 meter walking speed and four square step-test will be combined to report dynamic balance.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Cervical Pain
Visual Analog Scale will be used to assess this outcome measure.
Functional disability
Neck Disability Index will be used to assess this outcome measure.
quality of life about cervical pain
SF-36 will be used to assess this outcome measure.
Global perceived effect
Global perceived effect scale will be used to assess this outcome measure.
