Independent researchers have investigated postural balance and cervicocephalic kinesthetic sensibility among patients with chronic neck pain and have in most cases concluded the source of the problem is a reduced ability in the neck s proprioceptive system. Here we investigated cervicocephalic kinesthetic sensibility
