Abstract

There are limited reports about the reliability of measuring neck extensor muscle strength using a portable dynamometer in neck pain patients. The aims of the current study were 1) to investigate intra- and inter-rater reliability of neck extensor isometric strength measurement using a portable dynamometer in patients with chronic nonspecific neck pain (CNSNP) and 2) to compare neck extensor isometric strength in participants with and without CNSNP.
