Cervical Joint Position Error (JPE), cervical kinesthetic sense, Cervical Joint Position Error Test (Cervical JPET)
Summary
What it measures:
Joint position error (JPE) of the cervical spine is typically measured using a reposition-to-neutral test. In truth, “joint” position error includes input from not only joint receptors but also muscles, tendons, capsules, and skin. (Strimpakos et al, 2011)
Target Population:
This test summary contains information on use of this test in patients or clients with cervicogenic headaches (CGH). The JPE test is not intended to be a diagnostic test for CGH, but could reflect deficits in body function for people with CGH.
