Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Neck pain is the fourth leading cause of disability worldwide and is a significant public health problem. Chronic neck pain is defined as the presence of pain in the neck region of individuals for more than twelve weeks. Chronic neck pain is a disorder that negatively affects the individual's daily life activities and causes labor force and economic losses by causing functional limitations, loss of work and disability. It is important to evaluate the physical fitness components in detail in individuals with chronic neck pain. It has been stated that neck pain reduces upper extremity performance.

Different measurement methods have been used to evaluate the upper extremity functions of individuals. Standard measurement tools are needed to evaluate the upper extremity exercise capacity in patients with chronic neck pain. The 6-PBRT is a valid, reliable, useful, practical and easy-to-apply test that evaluates the endurance of the upper extremity without support in healthy individuals and those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The validity and reliability of 6-PBRT, which is used to evaluate functional upper extremity exercise capacity in different diseases, has not been investigated in individuals with chronic neck pain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity and reliability of 6-PBRT in individuals with chronic neck pain and to determine the applicability of the test for this patient population.
