Decreased neck proprioception and postural stability after induced cervical flexor muscles fatigue.

Objectives: This study investigated the effect of cervical flexor muscles fatigue on neck proprioception and postural stability.

Methods: Forty-five male and female subjects were evaluated pre, immediate after induction of fatigue, and after recovery. Isometric neck flexor muscle endurance test (NET) was used for the induction of cervical flexor muscle fatigue.
