Are Ultrasonographic Measures of Cervical Flexor Muscles Correlated With Flexion Endurance in Chronic Neck Pain and Asymptomatic Participants?

Objective This study compared the relationship between some clinical factors and the size of neck flexors in participants with or without chronic neck pain. Design In this case-control study, the correlation between flexor endurance capacity as well as thickness, cross-section area, and shape ratio of longus colli/capitis and sternocleidomastoid muscles were examined in 30 patients with chronic neck pain and 30 asymptomatic participants. Results The patients showed lower flexor endurance (P = 0.02), smaller thickness (P = 0.03), and cross-section area (P
