Abstract：
BACKGROUND: It can be challenging to perform activities of daily living in patients with chronic neck pain. As the severity of the pain increases, the quality of the movements decreases. Not only the neck, but also the shoulder, elbow, grip strength and psychomotor skills are affected by these pains.
OBJECTIVE: In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of neck pain on grip strength and psychomotor skills in adults diagnosed with chronic neck pain.
METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted to examine the effect of pain on grip strength and psychomotor skills in patients with chronic neck pain. This study was planned to be carried out between October 2019 and May 2020 at the Private Yaşam Medical Center in Adana, with the official permission of the institution manager, but this period was carried out between October 2019 and November 2020 due to the fact that sufficient number of patients could not be reached due to the COVID-19 global epidemic. A total of 80 individuals, including 40 control and 40 patients, were included in the study. Forty adult patients who applied to the clinic with a diagnosis of chronic neck pain and 40 healthy adults without a diagnosis of chronic neck pain were included in the study. Conducted with 80 adults between the age of 19 and 74 years old. Individuals were divided into Group 1-control group (n = 40) and Group 2-patient group (n = 40). Information such as age, height, body weight and occupation of the groups were noted. Visual analogue scale and Neck Disability Index were applied to both the groups; hand grip strength with a Jamar hydraulic hand dynamometer, finger lateral grip strength with a pinchmeter and psychomotor skills with the Purdue Pegboard test were evaluated.
RESULTS: In the study, hand grip strength (p < .05), finger lateral grip strength (p < .05), psychomotor skills (p < .01) showed a statistically significant decrease in the patient group compared to the control group.
CONCLUSIONS: It is thought that in addition to the routine treatments for neck pain in the treatment plan of patients with chronic neck pain, exercises to improve the functionality and psychomotor skills in daily living activities can be included in the direction of increasing the grip strength and will guide future studies.

摘要：
背景：慢性颈痛患者的日常生活活动可能具有挑战性。随着疼痛的严重程度增加，运动的质量下降。不仅仅是脖子,还有肩膀，弯头,握力和精神运动技能受到这些疼痛的影响。
目的：在本研究中，本研究旨在研究被诊断患有慢性颈痛的成年人颈痛对握力和精神运动技能的影响.
方法：进行了一项横断面研究，以检查疼痛对慢性颈痛患者的握力和精神运动能力的影响。这项研究计划于2019年10月至2020年5月在阿达纳的私人亚萨姆医疗中心进行。在机构经理的正式许可下，但这一时期是在2019年10月至2020年11月期间进行的，因为由于COVID-19全球流行，无法达到足够数量的患者。共有80人，包括40名对照组和40名患者,包括在研究中。该研究包括40名诊断为慢性颈痛的成年患者和40名没有诊断为慢性颈痛的健康成年人。与年龄在19至74岁之间的80名成年人一起进行。将个体分为第1组-对照组(n=40)和第2组-患者组(n = 40)。年龄等信息,高度,记录各组的体重和职业。两组均采用视觉模拟量表和颈部残疾指数；使用Jamar液压手测力计的手握力，通过PurduePegboard测试评估了手指侧向握力和精神运动技能。
结果：在研究中，手握力（p<0.05），手指侧向握力（p<0.05），与对照组相比，患者组的精神运动技能（p<.01）显示出统计学上的显着下降。
结论：认为慢性颈痛患者的治疗方案除了常规治疗颈痛外，提高日常生活活动中的功能和精神运动技能的练习可以包括在增加握力的方向上，并将指导未来的研究。
