Özet
Objective: This study evaluated relation between spinal mobility, pain and disability in chronic neck pain patients. Materials and methods: One hundred patients (19 men, 81 women), ages ranged between 20-60 (45.48±8.83) years with chronic neck pain for a period of at least six months were included in the study. A cervical range-of-motion (CROM) device, developed by Minnesota University, was used to assess spinal mobility, including flexion, extension, right-left lateral flexion and, right-left lateral rotation. Pain intensity was assessed by using Visual Analogue Scale. The Neck Disability Index (NDI) related cervical spine disorder that was employed to the patients. Results: Statistically significant correlation was observed among pain intensity and flexion (r=-0.27, p<0.05) and NDI score (r=0.69, p<0.001). There was significant correlation between NDI and flexion (r=-0.51, p<0.001), and left lateral rotation. Conclusion: We believe that the evaluation of chronic neck pain with many-side measurement methods might be useful clinical indicators of diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of treatment outcome.
