Conditions studied: Cervical Pain, Posterior, Swallowing Difficulties, Swallowing Disorders

In brief

The goal of the cross-sectional study is to explore the impact of neck pain on tongue pressure in the middle-aged and elderly population and analyze the effects of different cranio-cervical positioning on tongue pressure performance. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Do middle-aged and elderly individuals with chronic cervical pain exhibit reduced maximal tongue pressure compared to those without cervical pain? 2. What are the effects of different cranio-cervical positioning on tongue pressure performance? Participants will complete all the assessments on the day of testing.
