ABSTRACT:

Background

Neck pain is a major public health problem. Our objective was to describe differences in measures of movement and posture between people with and without neck pain.

Methods

Data were extracted on participants, device, test methods, active range of motion (RoM) and quality of motion, joint positioning sense, and posture.
