Exploring Postural Control Changes in Dental Students with Neck Pain During Clinical Practice

Posted: December 28, 2024
This study examined the changes in postural control complexity among dental students with and without neck pain during clinical practice. The research used the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire and a Bertec force plate to assess postural control. Results showed that postural control complexity decreased in both groups over the first semester, with asymptomatic students demonstrating more random patterns and those with neck pain showing a more rigid pattern. These findings highlight the importance of addressing postural control in dental training to prevent musculoskeletal issues.
