Neck pain
Conditions
Interventions
This is an experimental, longitudinal, quantitative, randomized study to verify the effectiveness of a proposed treatment protocol for neck pain. The sample studied consists of 20 people aged between
cervical muscle strength
resistance of the neck flexor and extensor muscles
activation and isometric resistance of the deep flexors of the cervical spine
and cervical position sense. Participants were randomized through a website (https://www.random.org/) using a random draw. Volunteers were divided into two groups: intervention group and control group
