Reduced postural control in patients with chronic cervicobrachial pain syndrome

Karlberg, M. LU ; Persson, L. LU and Magnusson, M. LU orcid (1995) In Gait and Posture 3(4). p.241-249
Abstract

Dizziness and subjective balance disturbances are frequent complaints in cervical pain syndromes of different origins. We objectively assessed balance function with posturography using vibration-induced and galvanically induced body sway in consecutive patients with cervicobrachial pain syndrome of more than 3 months duration. Both a group of patients with MRI-verified cervical root compression (CRC group, n = 89), and a group with normal MRI of the cervical region (non CRC group, n = 18) manifested significantly poorer postural control than sex- and age-matched controls (n = 20). Disorders of the neck should be considered when assessing patients complaining of dizziness or vertigo.
