Brief Summary
Neck pain (NP) is one of the most common and costly musculoskeletal complaints in today's societies. Cervical muscles endurance has been commonly associated with the development of NP. Real-time ultrasound imaging is a reliable and valid technique recently used by physical therapists to evaluate muscle structure, function and activation patterns. The aim of this study is if change in muscle thickness can correlate with the results of the endurance testing.
