Main Article Content
Abstract
Aim: Cervical radiculopathy is a common neurological condition characterized by pain, sensory disturbances, and motor deficits resulting from compression or irritation of cervical nerve roots. This manuscript provides a comprehensive review of the association between neck pain, hand-eye coordination, and motor function skills in individuals with cervical radiculopathy.
Methodology: We conducted a thorough literature search and synthesized evidence from epidemiological studies, clinical trials, systematic reviews, and observational studies to elucidate the multifaceted nature of cervical radiculopathy and its impact on sensorimotor function. The review highlights the significant impairments in hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, and functional activities of daily living observed in individuals with cervical radiculopathy.
Result: The collected data were analyzed using SPSS 21.0. The result of the study shows that there was a significant difference P < 0.0001 in both the test on cervical radiculopathy participants when compared with other groups.
Conclusion: The study has highlighted the significant impact of cervical radiculopathy on hand-eye coordination, motor function skills, and functional activities of daily living. Individuals with cervical radiculopathy often experience impairments in fine motor control, grip strength, and coordination, leading to difficulties in performing tasks requiring precision and dexterity.
