“…The relationships between mechanism, symptoms, diagnosis, and functional limitations are not yet clearly established in neck disorders. 14,26,31,35,37,49,57 Recent evidence suggests that sensory findings are prognostic. 61,62 It is apparent that there is a need for studies that evaluate the measurement properties of different sensory tests.…”

“…10 However, neck muscle endurance was found to be lower for frequent neck pain individuals compared to persons with never or infrequent neck pain. 11 Only few studies investigated cervical range of motions related to neck pain and a posture, and results of those studies were inconclusive. 8,9 Functioning in daily activity is considered the most important measure of health problem and it has been suggested that a patient's self-evaluation may be more accurate than the clinical, biomechanical, or physiological indexes.…”

Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate neck posture, range of motion, muscle endurance and self-report of pain and disability in smartphone users. Methods: Seventy-eight university student volunteers, aged between 18 and 30 years (mean age 23.2), were assessed for: a head-neck posture by measuring cranial vertical angle, neck range of motions using cervical range of motion device, and a deep neck flexor endurance using a stabilizer. Finally, subjects were asked about their neck pain and completed disability questionnaires, ie, Short Form McGill Pain Questionnaire, Neck Disability Index, and World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0. Results: Thirty-eight subjects experienced recurrent neck pain with/without upper limb pain (neck pain group) and 40 reported no current neck pain with/without upper limb pain (no neck pain group). Differences were found between groups on pain and disability questionnaires. Subjects with neck pain had significantly higher disability scores than those of no neck pain group. However, there were no differences observed between groups in a head-neck posture, neck range of motions, and deep neck muscle endurance time. The smartphone usage time was negatively correlated with neck pain intensity and disability score whereas it had positive relationship with flexibility and posture. Conclusion: Group differences were observed as lower capacity not only for neck specific daily activities but for general functioning in daily routine when the neck pain and no neck pain groups were compared. Therefore, functioning in daily activities should be investigated as prevention for further developing neck pain in smartphone users.

“…Previous study found the association between neck muscle strength and prevalence of neck pain (Wing Chiu, Hung Law, and Fai Chiu 2005). They also found the association between neck muscle endurance and prevalence of neck pain (Lee, Nicholson, and Adams 2005). Reduction of cardiorespiratory fitness may lead to neck pain.…”

Neck pain is one of main health problems of office workers. They work with computers in the same position for long period of time. Previous studies show the prevalence of neck pain (45.5%) in office workers. This can lead to direct and indirect costs of health care. It is essential to develop predictors for preventing people from neck pain. Previous studies show that musculoskeletal disorders are related to physical fitness level. Many factors in physical fitness can predict the incident of musculoskeletal disorders.There is still few studies which are specific to neck pain and physical fitness. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to investigate the relation between physical fitness level and prevalence of neck pain in office workers. A preliminary cross-sectional survey study included office workers who work in Faculty of physical therapy, Mahidol University. Participants were advertised with information and advantages of the study. The total of participants in this study were 18 office workers (10 females and 8 males). The test-retest reliability (ICC) of physical fitness tests were between 0.52-0.99. Physical fitness of participants were measured in five domains including 1) range of motion, 2) neck endurance, 3) strengthening of deep neck flexor muscle, 4) grip strength and 5) cardiorespiratory fitness by using cervical range of motion goniometer, neck flexor endurance test, neck flexor strength test by a pressure biofeedback, a hand grip dynamometer and three minutes step test, respectively. Compared the results which norms, subjects can be classified into normal group and below normal group. The Thai version of the modified neck disability index was used for examine the prevalence of neck pain. The neck disability scores were calculated, participants with the score more than 20% of full score were included in neck pain group. Statistic analysis analyzed by SPSS version 20.0. Intraclass correlation coefficient was calculated for testretest reliability. Descriptive statistics showed that neck strength, neck endurance, cardiorespiratory fitness and range of neck flexion in participants with normal physical fitness level tend to have less prevalence of neck pain than that of participants with below normal physical fitness level.
