Abstract

Background: Intact proprioception is required to maintain motor trunk control and lumbopelvic stability. Impaired proprioception has an adverse effect on trunk motor control that increases the risk of injury particularly low back pain.Objective comparison between athletic and non-athletic population in trunk proprioception is needed. Objective: The current study was to investigate whether a significant variance in trunk proprioception can be observed between athletic and non-athletic subjects. Patients and methods: A cross sectional study conducted on 70 male and female volunteer subjects with age ranged from 18-37 years old. Participants were assigned into two groups; Group (A) with 35 athletic football players, and Group (B) control group with 35 age matched healthy non-athletic volunteers. Subjects in both groups were assessed for active repositioning error in the Army Rehabilitation Centre's Isokinetic Laboratory, Cairo. Results: Both groups did not differ significantly in terms of mean age, height, weight, and BMI (P<0.05), while a considerable difference in active repositioning error was found in Group (A) compared with Group (B) (P=0.006). Conclusions: The trunk proprioception differs significantly in athletes when compared to non-athletes. Athletes have better trunk proprioception than non-athletes.
