Shear modulus of the neck muscles of 20 women with and 18 women without chronic neck pain

<p>These data are measurements of neck muscle stiffness captured with shear wave elastography.</p> <p>The methods of data capture are described here: Dieterich, A.V.; Yavuz, U.S.; Petzke, F.; Nordez, A.; Falla, D. Neck muscle stiffness measured with shear wave elastography in women with chronic nonspecific neck pain. J. Orthop. Sports Phys. Ther. 2020, 50, 179-188. doi:10.2519/jospt.2020.8821</p> <p>Participants of group 0 are women with chronic neck pain (n=20).</p> <p>Participants of group 1 are women without spinal pain (control group, n=18).</p> <p>The task codes are</p> <p>61&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; prone headlift</p> <p>71&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; balance 1 kg</p> <p>5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; office stress</p> <p>20&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; relaxed sitting</p> <p>21&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; NeckExtension12N</p> <p>22&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; NeckExtension24N</p> <p>23&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; NeckExtension36N</p> <p>24&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; NeckExtension48N</p> <p>30&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; NeckRotation.</p> <p>Each result is the average from three task repetitions.</p> <p>Neck muscle stiffness over the trapezius, splenius capitis, semispinalis capitis, semispinalis cervicis, and multifidus muscles is reported in shear wave velocity and shear modulus.</p> <p>Columns F-I are the normalized shear modulus. Normalization has been performed using one of the tasks as a reference.</p>
