Factors such as postural changes, reduced neck muscle endurance and reduced range of motion (ROM) are common characteristics attributed to people with neck pain. Objective: (a) Identify differences in postural, muscular endurance and ROM characteristics between individuals with and without neck pain and (b) relate the presence and intensity of neck pain with the characteristics of static posture, muscular endurance and cervical ROM. Method: A cross-sectional study with 60 subjects equally divided into two groups with respect to the presence of neck pain carrying out the following evaluations: (1) static postural evaluation by digital photogrammetry; (2) the neck flexor endurance test; and (3) evaluation of cervical ROM using a fleximeter. The data were analyzed with independent t-tests, the Mann-Whitney U test, and the Spearman and Tau of Kendall correlation tests (α < 0.05). Results: There were no statistical differences between individuals with and without neck pain regarding the postural, muscle endurance and cervical ROM characteristics. No statistically significant correlations were found between pain and posture, muscle endurance and cervical ROM. Conclusion: Individuals with neck pain do not appear to present differences in their postural, neck flexor muscle endurance or cervical ROM characteristics when compared to individuals without neck pain, and neck pain appears to be unrelated to these variables.
