Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Rehabilitation Technology
  • Clinical Assessment

Background:

  • Sensorimotor deficits, including impaired cervical joint position sense (JPS) and reduced reaction time/velocity in cervical movements, are common in individuals with neck pain.
  • Traditional assessments of these functions are often confined to specialized movement science laboratories.
  • Emerging sensor technologies offer the potential for objective, clinical assessments of cervical sensorimotor function.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the concurrent validity of a virtual reality (VR)-based JPS test.
  • To assess the concurrent validity of a novel cervical reaction acuity (CRA) test using VR technology.
  • To compare VR-based assessments of JPS and CRA against a gold standard optical motion capture system.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study involving 20 participants (13 asymptomatic, 7 with neck pain).
  • VR headset used for JPS (measuring absolute error, constant error, variable error) and CRA (measuring reaction time, maximum velocity) tests.
  • Comparison with a gold standard optical motion capture system using Bland-Altman analysis and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs).

Main Results:

  • VR-based JPS tests demonstrated good to excellent ICCs (0.835-0.998) with low bias (0.0°-2.4°).
  • VR-based CRA tests showed excellent ICCs (0.931-0.954) for reaction time and maximum velocity, with minimal bias (-19.9 ms for reaction time, -6.5 °/s for velocity).
  • Acceptable concurrent validity was found for VR technology in assessing both JPS and CRA.

Conclusions:

  • VR technology offers a valid tool for objectively assessing cervical joint position sense (JPS) and cervical reaction acuity (CRA) in a clinical setting.
  • The findings support the use of VR for evaluating sensorimotor deficits associated with neck pain.
  • Further research should consider the slight bias observed in JPS left rotation assessments.
