Abstract :Background and Purpose: A variety of sensory-motor changes are reported in both the traumatic and non-traumatic neck pain. However, it is still unclear whether there is a significant difference between individuals with traumatic neck pain and those with non-traumatic in terms of postural control. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate whether there was a difference between individuals with traumatic pain and non-traumatic neck pain in terms of postural control and disability. Methods: Ninety-two patients with chronic neck pain were grouped according to the onset of pain. Clinical test of sensory interaction balance insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CTSIB); and limits of stability insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(LOS); test were used for postural control assessment. The Numeric Rating Scale and Neck Pain Disability Index insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NPDI); were used to measure pain intensity and disability, respectively. Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare groups. Results: There were no significant differences between groups in terms of LOS, CTSIB and NPDI scores insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p > 0.05);. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that postural control and disability do not differ between patients with traumatic and non-traumatic neck pain. Therefore, from a clinical perspective, postural control and disability should be evaluated without considering trauma history in patients with neck pain.
