- Brief Summary
The individuals with neck pain had significantly decreased HR (2.73 ± 1.08cm) and increased PR ratio (2.22 ± 0.75) compared with asymptomatic. The mean and standard deviation value of HR and PR ratio in asymptomatic group was 3.41 ± 0.93cm and 1.72 ± 0.36, respectively. However, there were no significant differences in HP and HE between the two groups. The results of this study indicated that HR and PR ratio should be considered for evaluating patients with neck pain.
