“…Other studies support the theory that when the head is held in a fixed, flexed position, increased stresses are generated that may produce symptoms of neck pain [1,5,9]. Younger patients with chronic nontraumatic neck pain, and without age-related spondylotic changes, were shown to have a more forward head posture in standing than matched pain-free participants in one study [10].…”

“…Headgear use during surgery requires spine surgeons to hold their heads in a fixed, flexed position for prolonged periods of time. Biomechanical studies show that this position increases disc pressures within the cervical spine which may, in turn, lead to degenerative neck disease [5].…”

“…Em estudos prévios, a flexão do pescoço foi relacionada com o aumento da curvatura da coluna cervical, o que causaria angulação das faces dos discos cervicais ao colocar cargas adicionais já impostas nesses discos [5]. Assim, para obter a posição neutra da cabeça sobre seu centro de gravidade na coluna cervical haveria a necessidade de impor esforço muscular, o que poderia agravar a incapacidade em pacientes que já apresentam histórico de dor no ombro.…”

“…A fisiopatologia da dor no ombro e a dor na coluna cervical podem ser diferentes, mas o envolvimento muscular é semelhante e os pacientes podem ter dificuldades em distinguir o local de origem da dor. Isso se deve a conexão biomecânica e anatômica entre a coluna cervical e o complexo do ombro, na qual deficiências que afetam a cervical, bem como alteração na atividade muscular dos flexores cervicais, podem ser associadas com a dor no ombro [4,5]. O presente estudo busca, então, estabelecer uma relação entre o nível de incapacidade no pescoço com a atividade eletromiográfica da musculatura dessa região em pacientes que apresentam dor no ombro.…”

“…Long-term forward head posture may increase the burden of non-contractile structures and the abnormal stress on the posterior cervical structures, leading to myofascial pain (Bonney & Corlett, 2002 In addition, low levels of physical activity may be linked to increased weekly hypoactivity, which was associated with the presence of chronic pain.…”
