Brief Summary

this study will be conducted to investigate if there is a relationship between cervical radiculopathy and eye-hand coordination.

Detailed Description

Cervical radiculopathy is a disorder involving dysfunction of the cervical nerve roots commonly secondary to cervical spine degenerative changes such as disk herniation and/or foraminal stenosis compressing the nerve roots. Clinical manifestations are pain in neck and one or both of the upper extremities, as a result of compression or irritation of nerve roots in the cervical spine. It can be accompanied by motor, sensory, or reflex deficits. It is most common in persons 45-60 years of age, which result in terrible chronic pain. Eye hand coordination is the ability to do activities which require the simultaneous use of hands and eyes. It is a complex cognitive skill which unites visual and motor skills in the person and allowing the hands to guide by the visual stimulations. It lies at the core of our daily activities and interactions with objects and people around us as to be a defining characteristic of typical human life. Previous studies show that there was a marked alteration in the hand function in subjects with the cervical radiating pain. Since there was no study which investigated the relationship between cervical radiculopathy and eye hand coordination despite it is an important skill that adults use in countless activities of daily living and during working.
