Summary

The aim of this study was to examine the validity and test-retest reliability of unsupported upper extremity exercise test (UULEX) in individuals with chronic neck pain. Patients with neck pain lasting at least 3 months will be included in the study. It is planned to examine the validity and test-retest reliability of the UULEX test in that patient groups.

Detailed description

Persons with chronic neck pain may limit the functional use of their upper extremities. It is recommended to determine appropriate upper extremity measurement methods in patients with chronic neck pain. Therefore the aim of this study was to examine the validity and test-retest reliability of unsupported upper extremity exercise test (UULEX) in individuals with chronic neck pain. Six Minute Pegboard Ring Test, 30-Second Push-Up Test and Arm, Shoulder and Hand Injury Questionnaire (DASH), Visual Analog Scale, Neck Disability Index, New York Posture Rating Chart and Short Form-36 Health Survey were used to evaluate the validity of the test. For test-retest reliability, the unsupported upper extremity test was repeated 1 week later by the same investigator.
