Brief Summary

Neck pain is common condition and can affect the 50% population at some time of their lives. There found to be reduced efficiency, strength and endurance of neck muscles in neck pain patients. However there is conflicting evidence about correlation between pain , endurance and disability. There are various factors which influence the disability and function. Limited studies were found in Indian population. Hence the present research is designed to study the correlation between pain, endurance with disability in chronic neck pain patients.
