Correlation Between Cervical Spine Sagittal Alignment and Functional Disability in Preparatory School Students With Mechanical Cervical Pain

February 5, 2024 updated by: Manal Helmy Koura, Benha University

Neck pain is a major public health concern that has been extensively studied in adults but not in children and adolescents. Mechanical neck pain became prevalent among children and adolescents, and has its impacts on functional ability.

This study is aiming to investigate the correlation between Cervical spine sagittal alignment parameter (cranio-cervical angle) and functional disability in preparatory school students with mechanical cervical pain.
