| BackgroundChronic non-specific neck pain (CNP) may extends beyond the cervical region, affecting trunk stability through altered function of the transversus abdominis (TrA). Biomechanical links suggest an interaction between the TrA and sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscles in maintaining spinal stability. This study aimed to assess SCM and TrA elasticity using shear-wave elastography in individuals with CNP due to cervical hypolordosis and examine their associations with pain, disability, and physical activity.MethodsA cross-sectional observational study was conducted to investigate the relationship between sternocleidomastoid (SCM) and transversus abdominis (TrA) muscle properties using shear-wave elastography (SWE) in individuals with chronic neck pain and asymptomatic controls. Twenty patients with cervical hypolordosis and 21 matched asymptomatic individuals were included. Demographic data ... |
