Cervical proprioception and postural stability play crucial roles in maintaining optimal head neck positioning, yet their relationship implications cervical spondylosis (CS) remain underexplored. This study aims to investigate proprioceptive reposition errors, limits of stability, association individuals with CS while considering the mediating effects pain kinesiophobia. The primary objectives are compare errors variables between age-matched healthy controls, explore associations within group, determine A cross-sectional recruited 60 controls. joint (JREs) were assessed using a range-of-motion device, evaluated computerized dynamic posturography system. Pain, kinesiophobia, demographic data collected. Parametric tests, correlation analyses, multiple regression employed for analysis. Individuals exhibited significantly higher JREs flexion, extension, rotation compared controls (p < 0.001). Within correlations revealed limits-of-stability 0.05). Mediation analysis demonstrated significant direct indirect kinesiophobia on group 0.005). is associated impaired proprioception, increased compromised stability. highlights interplay pain, psychological factors, emphasizing need comprehensive interventions enhance functional outcomes quality life.
