Brief Summary

In this study, the effects of an 8-week telerehabilitation-based stabilization training in persons with chronic non-specific neck pain will be investigated.

Detailed Description

The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of different telerehabilitation-based stabilization exercises on gait, balance, pain, functionality and depression in individuals with non-specific neck pain. The population of the study will consist of 40 individuals with chronic neck pain, who are followed up with the diagnosis of chronic non-specific neck pain in the Department of Neurosurgery of Dokuz Eylul University Faculty of Medicine. The socio-demographic characteristics of the participants will be recorded through mutual interviews, 'BTS G-Walk' device for walking, 'Biodex Balance' device for balance, Neck Disability Index for disability assessment, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain severity, the Beck Depression Inventory will be used for depression. All participants will walk to the length of a 10 m walkway and back to the start point with the BTS G-Walk (BTS Bioengineering S.p.A., GarbagnateMilanese, Italy), a wearable sensor device to assess spatiotemporal gait parameters. Individuals will walk first in a normal walking pattern and then in a fast walking pattern. Biodex Stability System will be used for balance measurement. The exercises will be taught to the participants face-to-face once in the first session, within the framework of social distance and hygiene rules, and then they will have exercise sessions by mutual videoconference method via the Zoom program for 8 weeks. Patients will be randomly divided into two groups. Cervical stabilization and scapular stabilization training will be given to the first group, and cervical stabilization and core stabilization training will be given to the second group. The effects of these two different telerehabilitation-based exercise methods will be compared.
