Cervical range of motion and strength in 4,293 young male adults with chronic neck pain

Purpose The correlation of cervical biomechanics and neck pain in young patients has, to date, only been described in terms of small cohorts. This study focuses on the correlation of chronic neck pain and cervical biomechanics. Methods Neck pain, cervical range of motion (CROM) and maximal cervical...

Zusammenfassung:Purpose The correlation of cervical biomechanics and neck pain in young patients has, to date, only been described in terms of small cohorts. This study focuses on the correlation of chronic neck pain and cervical biomechanics. Methods Neck pain, cervical range of motion (CROM) and maximal cervical torque were recorded in 746 patients with conservatively treated chronic neck pain and 3,547 participants of physiotherapy training without chronic neck pain aged 16–32 years. Results The “neck pain” group had a highly significant ( s
