Abstract: Aim: The primary aim of this study was to examine the relationships between scapular position and pain, muscle shortness, shoulder and neck stabilization, and disability in women with neck pain. We additionally aim to compare scapular position, muscle shortness, shoulder and neck stabilization, and disability in women with and without neck pain. Material and Methods: The study included 42 women with a mean age of 21.53 +/- 2.33 years. For evaluation of scapula position, the protractor method and the Lennie test were used. In the neck pain group, the scapula position was measured by protractor method and right and left muscle shortness was tested for both dominant and non-dominant sides. In addition, a visual analog scale (VAS), the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). pectoral's minor muscle shortness, dosed kinetic chain shoulder stabilization, neck flexor muscle endurance test, and the Neck Disability Index were used for evaluation. Results: According to VAS scores, on a scale of 1-10, the pain level of the group with neck pain was recorded as 4.81 +/- 1.15. On the non-dominant side, a statistically negative and low-level significant correlation was found with the right-side shortness test (p<0.001, p<0.04). When the groups were compared, no significant difference was found between the studied parameters (p>0.05). Discussion: As a result of this study, it was seen that scapular position as measured by protractor method was associated with muscle shortness. In addition, neck pain increases disability. The protractor method may be a viable measurement method for evaluation of scapula position.
