| ABSTRACT Background. Chronic mechanical neck pain (CMNP) is an uncomfortable emotional and sensory experience that lasts longer than three months and is linked to actual or possible tissue damage in the neck area. Nowadays, it is more prevalent because of sedentary lifestyles, poor posture, and working conditions. It does not only affect the cervical region but also the surrounding tissue, causing a range of biomechanical alterations. Purpose. To examine the difference in shoulder external to internal rotation strength ratio between the CMNP group and the control group. Subjects and methods. Sixty-six subjects were equally distributed into the CMNP group and normal subjects control groups. Concentric-concentric isokinetic testing at angular velocities 60o/s and 120o/s were applied to each participant in the study to determine if any difference between two groups of shoulder external to internal rotation strength ratio .Results. Between groups, comparison showed no significant difference was noted between groups in shoulder external to internal rotation strength ratio (P > 0.05) at both angular velocities. Conclusion. CMNP did not cause a significant effect on the shoulder external to internal rotation strength ratio. |
