Age-related reduction in&#13;
proprioception in weight-bearing joints, such as the knee or ankle joint, of asymptomatic adults has been&#13;
documented extensively. However, no age related increases in cervical repositioning error were reported in asymptomatic adults&#13;
Objective: The aim of the study was to determine the effect of age on cervical position sense&#13;
Materials and methods: 150 asymptomatic young adults (age range, 20-60 years) were recruited in to the study. The subjects were divided in to four groups i.e. 20-29 years, 30-39 years, 40-49 years and 50- 60 years. The subjects were measured for reposition errors (degrees) by the Cervicocephalic kinesthetic__ampersandsignnbsp; sensibility tests, which include Head-to-Neutral Head Position (NHP) repositioning tests and Head-to- Target repositioning tests with Cervical Range of Motion (CROM) Device. The two repositioning tests were performed in the sagital, transverse, and frontal planes.&#13;
Results: The results of one way ANOVA showed there is significant difference between the groups&#13;
(P__ampersandsignlt;0.001) in both the Head to Neutral Head Position testing and Head to Target Repositioning tests.&#13;
There showed increasing errors with increasing age.&#13;
Conclusion: As age increases cervicocephalic kinesthetic sensibility decreases.&#13;
