Meta-analysis on 10 studies demonstrated that people with chronic neck pain perform significantly worse on head-to-neutral repositioning tests, with a moderate standardized mean difference of 0.44 (95% confidence interval=0.25, 0.63). Two studies evaluated head repositioning using trunk movement (no active head movement thus hypothesized to remove vestibular input) and showed conflicting results. Three studies evaluated complex or postural repositioning tests; postural repositioning was no different between groups, and complex movement tests were impaired only in participants with chronic neck pain if error was continuously evaluated throughout the movement.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Limitations<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A paucity of studies evaluating complex or postural repositioning tests does not permit any solid conclusions about them.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>People with chronic, idiopathic neck pain are worse than asymptomatic controls at head-to-neutral repositioning tests.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2522\/ptj.20150241","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,10,16]],"date-time":"2015-10-16T01:29:09Z","timestamp":1444958949000},"page":"876-887","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":183,"title":["Evidence of Impaired Proprioception in Chronic, Idiopathic Neck Pain: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"96","author":[{"given":"Tasha R.","family":"Stanton","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"T.R.
