Abstract
Mechanical neck pain is also referred as non-specific neck pain. It may defined as pain which is aggravated by movement, relived by rest and that is not associated with serious underlying pathology. Among drivers, complaints concerning the musculoskeletal system are most frequently reported from the neck, shoulder and lower back. The driving sitting position is featured by non-neutral spinal postures, generally a reduction in neutral lumbar lardosis and an increased or decreased neck flexion. By this study, we can know whether the neck pain is associated with scapular protraction in drivers or not, and then out of the three positions of the scapular protraction (1-Hands at rest, 2-Hands on hip, 3–900 glenohumeral abduction with internal rotation) which position the drivers are more prone for neck pain. The Aim of the Study is to determine whether neck pain is associated with scapular protraction.
