Brief Summary

There is evidence showing that musculoskeletal problems in the cervical and thoracic region are common among academicians and with it, compared to other musculoskeletal pain the pattern and physical risk factors for neck pain was at the highest percentage. One of the most common postural disorders in the neck and shoulder girdle occurs when the position of the head is displaced to forward relation to the point of support, which is called forward head posture (FHP). The aim of the present study is to investigate factors affecting neck posture in academicians with non-specific neck pain. Investigators investigated whether there is a correlation between craniovertebral angle (CVA) and joint position sense, deep cervical muscle strength and endurance in academicians with chronic non-specific neck pain.
