Without this reflex, you won\u2019t get very far.<\/p>\n
Truly, are muscles the agents of movement and action? The truth is that muscles are the great source of information, What\u2019s the point of seeing if you don\u2019t know whether the world has moved or you have?<\/p>\n What\u2019s the point of feeling movement in your vestibular system if you don\u2019t know whether your head moved or the ground did? With cervical proprioception, the CNS can interpret visual and vestibular information correctly to create the appropriate, proportional response. This is one of the reasons for the course on physiotherapy in the multisystem cervico-ocular system, by I\u00f1aki Pastor and Lucila To.<\/strong> It\u2019s the key to success in balance issues, instability, and coordination. \u00a0It\u2019s the reflex that gets damaged in whiplash injuries, In this disorder, the COR is overactive and unbalanced with the vestibulo-ocular reflex.

Cervical proprioception is fundamental in balance and its management, where gaze stability is the first step. One of the ways the neck influences the eyes, perhaps the most essential, is the cervico-ocular reflex (COR).<\/p>\n
Whether due to a car accident or a fall with the neck in the wrong position. Be careful, don\u2019t only think about car accidents.<\/p>\n
\nThe result?<\/strong>
\nThe eyes move slowly and clumsily,
Especially during head movements. In other words\u2026 always.<\/p>\n
