Brief Summary

Despite the important role of axioscapular muscles electromyography and cervical posture as outcomes for the management of chronic neck non specific pain , there is gab of evidence that highlight their association to the commonly used neck disability index. The quest to improve outcomes for individuals suffering from chronic nonspecific neck pain is underscored by the need to identify key prognostic variables that can guide clinical decision-making and intervention strategies. This study seeks to bridge the gap in research by examining the association between neck disability index score, cervical sagittal curvature, and axioscapular muscles electromyography in forms of both trapezius and levator scapula root mean squares to indicate muscular activities and median frequencies to indicate muscular fatigue.
