Cervicocephalic relocation test: a study of performance stability

Résumé

Objective: The purpose of the present experiment is to determine the reliability of the cervicocephalic relocation test (CRT). Methodology: Thirteen young healthy adults were recruited to perform a CRT test-retest. The test-retest reliability was determined by repeatedly measuring cervicocephalic relocation to a neutral position after active movement, with trials approximately one hour apart. Each CRT involved 20 cervicocephalic relocations to a natural head position, 10 repositioning after right head rotation, 10 repositioning after left head rotation (with the order of rotation side s randomized). The performance of each subject for each CRT was the mean of the errors made during the 20 relocations (in degrees). Study Results: The mean rate of error of the first and second trials were respectively 3.2±1.1° and 2.9±0.9°. The Intra Class Correlation (ICC) coefficient was .81, and the standard error of measurement was .90°. Conclusion: Results show that CRT testing supports evidence of reliable cervicocephalic performance stability in healthy young adults. As a result, CRT shows promise as a relevant tool of assessment in head and neck proprioception.
