The Influence of Hip Position on Neck Kinematics and Muscle Activity in Healthy and Non-Specific Neck Pain Subjects.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Neck pain is a widespread problem in society with many variables influencing its cause. The angle of the hip may influence the kinematics of the neck in addition to the myoelectrical activation of the surrounding musculature that contributes to the development of neck pain. The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in spinal inclination angles and muscle activity in the neck using a 10 deg wedge in a forward slope, neutral and rear slope seated position. Forty subjects were recruited for this study. Each subject sat at a workstation under the 3 different sitting positions for ten minutes for each condition. During this time, the subjects typed a prompt for seven minutes and rested for the remaining 3 minutes. This was repeated for each position. Inclination angles and electromyography data were collected at different intervals during each trial. The results showed a significant difference in mean inclination angle among the three positions in the pain group (p<0.01). The head and neck inclination angles were higher in the rear sloped position compared to the forward slope (p<0.001). In the pain group, there was no significant change in the mean muscle activity in the UT in the forward slope as compared to the rear slope and neutral positions (p ≤0.01). The results of this study suggest that the forward sloped position provides a favorable body alignment compared to the other positions which may then lead to less unwanted muscle activation.
