Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Individuals will be evaluated before the study, and following the evaluation, stabilization exercises will be applied to the first group under the control of a physiotherapist 3 days a week for 6 weeks. In addition to the stabilization exercises, proprioception training will be given to the second group. Individuals are trained with cervical proprioceptive training, exercises performed by returning the neck to its natural neutral posture and to positions within a predetermined range.
Patients are first trained with their eyes open, then with their eyes closed. Feedback for proprioceptive performance is necessary to reduce the margin of error in repositioning. Laser pointer headbands were used for feedback. With the help of this laser pointer, exercises will be applied to the patients by increasing the level of difficulty. In order to make the exercises more difficult, they will first be applied sitting, then standing, then in semi-tandem and tandem positions. No program will be applied to the 3rd group, the control group.
