Neck Pain

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the sagittal thoracic spinal curvature and mobility in subjects with and without chronic neck pain, cut-off points and pain relationship

Interventions

DEVICESpinal Mouse® measurement

The sagittal thoracic spinal curvature and mobility of all participants were assessed with Spinal Mouse® (Idiag, Fehraltorf, Switzerland) in standing position.

BEHAVIORALNeck pain intensity measurement

The neck pain intensity of the patients was questioned by Visual Analogue Scale
