Objective: It is estimated that a third of all adults will experience neck pain throughout the course of 1 year, and 70% is the approximate lifetime prevalence. Neck pain is most commonly reported musculoskeletal pain site in population surveys and primary care. Neck pain can be periodic and can vary in disability. It is important that health-care professionals provide straightforward, clear advice on supervision at an early stage. The purpose of the study was to find variation of total neck length and anteroposterior (AP) diameter of head on total head excursion (THE) which would result in high-risk factor.Methods: 600 individuals both males and females 8-60 years of age were assigned according to inclusion criteria into three groups and measurement was done through metric ruler scale. Neck length was measured using digital vernier caliper, and AP diameter of the head was measured using spreading caliper.Results: ANOVA and independent t-test show no significant difference between neck length and AP diameter of head on THE. However, Pearson sig 2-tailed shows a positive correlation with neck length and AP diameter of head on THE. Conclusion:The findings of the present study states as AP diameter of head decreases, there is decrease in neck length and decrease in retraction and increase in protraction or if there is increase in AP diameter and increase in neck length, there is increase in retraction and decrease in protraction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
