unclear. This study aimed to examine the relationship between cervical muscle composition …

Background Chronic neck pain is a common musculoskeletal disorder. Previous studies
have found that chronic neck pain is associated with changes in neck muscle morphology …

Muscle size and composition (muscle volume and muscle fat infiltrate [MFI]) may provide
insight into possible mechanisms underpinning chronic idiopathic neck pain, a common …

Background Neck muscle compositional changes may represent potential biomarkers
contributing towards chronic neck-related pain and disability. Objectives To determine …
