Neck pain is a massive problem in people with jobs require EXTENDED periods of STATIC POSTURES, and bike users are a part of this group.
Bike drivers often have problems due to
prolonged static postures
repetitive head movements
continued whole body vibrations
These conditions often affect the following in bike users
Neck range of motion (a reduction can lead to discomfort, limittaions in activity and contribute to persistant neck pain)
Neck Proprioception (the bodies ability to percieve the position and movement of the neck, this sensory mechanism is vital for balance, co-ordinate movements and prevent injuries).
Craniovertebral angle (a measurement between head and the neck, and is a indicator of the posture of the head and neck, a reduction leads to forward head posture and increaese the strain on the neck muscles and pain and discomfort)
Research from 2024 found that bike users with neck pain had altered neck range of motion, neck proprioception and a decrease in quality of life.
Research found a smaller craniovertebral angle leads to forward head posture, and is a mechanism to reduce neck pain
