“…The participants tested early in the morning showed about 27% higher neck endurance capability than the participants tested in the late afternoon. Surprisingly, we did not identify a significant sex effect on endurance capacity, though the female participants exhibited slightly higher endurance capacity than males, which is consistent with a previous study (Oliveira & Silva, 2016).…”

The present study aimed to establish a normative database of the neck muscular strength and the endurance capacity of a healthy population and to explore effects of neck posture, time-of-day (i.e., diurnal variation), and personal characteristics, such as age, sex, and body mass index on neck strength and endurance capacity during sustained-till-exhaustion maximal neck exertions. The multiple regression analyses revealed that sex and neck posture were significant predictors of neck strength, whereas time-of-day and age were significant predictors of neck endurance capacity.

“…Muscles with decreased blood flow commence anaerobic metabolism, resulting in decreased muscle endurance. Numerous studies show decreased endurance of the flexor muscle in patients with neck pain, but no studies have been conducted on the elderly population (10,25). Results of our study show that the DNF muscle endurance in the neck pain group decreased significantly compared with that in the control group.…”

Introduction:The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of chronic nonspecific neck pain on balance, cervical proprioception, head posture, and deep neck flexor muscle endurance in the elderly. Materials and Method: Elderly participants aged ≥65 years with chronic neck pain (n=16; 9 females) and without neck pain [n=16; 8 females (control group)] were included in this study. Balance function of the participants was assessed using the SportKAT 550 kinesthetic balance device, one-leg standing test, and timed up and go test. The joint position error test was used to evaluate cervical proprioception. Head posture was assessed by craniovertebral angle measurement, and muscle endurance was evaluated by the deep neck flexor endurance test.Results: All balance tests results, joint position error value, and deep neck flexor muscle endurance were better in the control group than in the neck pain group (p<0.05). No difference was observed between the neck pain and control groups with respect to the craniovertebral angle value (p>0.05). Conclusion:Our results indicate that chronic neck pain negatively affects the balance, cervical proprioception, and muscle endurance in the elderly. Our study results will guide health professionals to plan appropriate treatment strategies for the elderly with neck pain. ABSTRACTGiriş: Bu çalışmanın amacı, yaşlı popülasyonda kronik nonspesifik boyun ağrısının denge, servikal propriosepsiyon, baş postürü ve derin boyun fleksör kas enduransı üzerine etkisini incelemektir.Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 65 yaş ve üzeri kronik boyun ağrılı (n=16; 9 kadın) ve boyun ağrısı olmayan [n=16; 8 kadın (kontrol grubu)] yaşlı bireyler dahil edildi. Katılımcıların denge fonksiyonu SportKAT 550 kinestetik denge cihazı, tek ayak üzerinde durma testi ve zamanlı kalk yürü testi kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Servikal propriosepsiyonu değerlendirmek için "eklem pozisyon hata testi" kullanıldı. Baş postürü kraniovertebral açı ölçümü ve kas enduransı "derin boyun fleksör endurans testi" ile değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Kontrol grubunda tüm denge test sonuçları, eklem pozisyon hata değeri ve derin fleksör kas enduransı boyun ağrılı gruba göre daha iyiydi (p<0.05). Kraniovertebral açı değeri açısından iki grup arasında anlamlı bir fark yoktu (p>0.05).Sonuç: Çalışma sonuçları kronik boyun ağrısının yaşlılarda denge, servikal propriosepsiyon ve kas enduransını olumsuz yönde etkilediğini işaret etmektedir. Sonuçlar; boyun ağrılı yaşlılarda uygun tedavi stratejilerini belirlemek için sağlık profesyonellerine yol gösterici olacaktır.

“…Thus, for every one minute greater cervical extensor muscles endurance performance, the risk of developing neck pain was reduced by 4.3 times (estimated HR of 0.24 by 60 seconds increased endurance time). These findings are consistent with previous literature showing impaired muscle function, including the extensor muscles, to be associated with neck pain (D. O'Leary et al, 2011;Oliveira and Silva, 2016;Schomacher and Falla, 2013). It is also consistent with previous clinical trials that show exercise to train cervical muscles to be associated with improvements in neck pain (Blangsted et al, 2008;Falla et al, 2006;Falla et al, 2007;Sihawong et al, 2014).…”

A longitudinal study of risk factors for non-specific neck pain in office workers

Neck pain at work is associated with reduced productivity, work absenteeism, and often requires treatment resulting in substantial costs to society. Working with a computer has been linked to the development of neck pain. Computer work is a constant factor in the office work environment, and within industry, office workers show the highest incidence of neck pain among all occupations. Therefore prevention of neck pain for office workers has become a priority. While there is an emerging body of literature investigating risk factors for the development of neck pain in office workers it is evident that major gaps still exist. For example, a current model exploring the aetiology of neck pain in workers (Bone and Joint Decade Task Force Model) has not sufficiently explained physical risk factors (workplace and worker), not explored the role of coping on the interaction between workplace psychosocial factors and psychological distress, and has not considered the impact of cultural diversity. The aim of this thesis is to address these deficits.In Study 1 physical risk factors for the development of neck pain in office workers were evaluated through a systematic review with meta-analysis. The review highlighted the poor standardization and quantification of working postural behavior that was mostly limited to subjective or momentary observational assessments.In Study 4 a direct quantitative measure of postural behaviour (percent of time spent in neutral upper body posture) with during office work using wireless sensors was developed with known measurement properties (good to excellent reliability) which could be included in the longitudinal study.A longitudinal study of 220 office workers (160 from Brisbane, Australia and 60 from Daegu, South Korea) without neck pain was recruited from industry. These office workers completed baseline self-report questionnaires measuring psychosocial factors, psychological distress, and coping resources. Follow-up measurements were taken over a 12 month period to evaluate the incidence of neck pain. Physical factors (postural behaviour during office work, neck range of motion, and upper body physical performance) were also evaluated at baseline. 3In Studies 5 and 6, measurements recorded at baseline were analyzed to clarify the physical and psychosocial characteristics of the office worker sample. Study 5 showed that the relationship between job strain and psychological distress (depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms) was moderated by coping strategies. In particular a greater dependence on escape coping strategies enhanced the effect of job strain on depression symptoms, which was in turn reduced when accompanied by higher levels of social support.Study 6 showed that postural behaviour of office workers was governed by multiple factors including both workplace and individual factors. In particular, ergonomic factors (e.g., higher desk height, greater distance on desk top between keyboard and the edge of desk), individual physical factors (e.g., less neck flexor strength/endu...
