简要总结
When the literature is examined, although it is known that the suboccipital muscles are rich in proprioceptive receptors and have significant effects on balance, the effects of myofascial and neural relaxation of the suboccipital muscles on balance and proprioception are not fully understood. In this study, the investigators aim to examine the immediate effects of the SMV technique on balance and proprioception in young adults. With this study, by revealing the effects of the SMV technique on balance and proprioception, a different treatment option will be offered to clinicians working in the field of physical therapy and rehabilitation and interested in the rehabilitation of patients who may have balance and proprioception problems. It will also provide insight to academics working in this field in terms of the applicability of this technique among different patient groups.

结局指标
主要结局
Joint Position Error Measurement
时间窗: Before and Immediately After the Treatment Process
The Cervical Joint Position Error Test is a measurement tool used to clinically assess an individual's cervicocephalic proprioception ability. Cervicocephalic proprioception describes one's sense of position of their head and neck in space.
Cervical Joint Range of Motion Measurement
时间窗: Before and Immediately After the Treatment Process
Cervical joint movement, cervical flexion, extension, right and left rotation, right-left lateral flexion movement will be measured with the help of a suitable goniometer.
Balance Assessment
时间窗: Before and Immediately After the Treatment Process
Portable computerized kinesthetic balance device (SportKAT) examines balance in 2 main parameters: static and dynamic, and 4 main parameters: forward-backward, right-left. SporKAT consists of a platform on the ground and a screen designed to be directly in front of the patient, 1 meter away from the patient. After the pressure values of the platform are adjusted, the content of the test is explained to the patient and the patient is placed on the platform with bare feet, and then the patient's feet are adjusted to the specified places on the platform. During the test, the patient is asked to try to keep the x (cross) sign on the screen in the middle of the circle visible on the screen for 30 seconds. The test is terminated after 30 seconds. Higher balance scores indicate that the person's balance is more impaired.
