dc.description.abstract | Flying on fighter aircraft is the only human activity that exposes the body to acceleration
levels for long periods of time. In this sense, the regular exposure to G forces has been related to a
high incidence of flight-related neck pain. The aim is to evaluate flight pilots of the Spanish Air Force
(instructors vs. students) diagnosed with flight-related neck pain from a biopsychosocial perspective.
Eighteen fighter pilots with flight-related neck pain were divided into two groups: instructor fighter
pilots (n = 7) and student fighter pilots (n = 11). The Neck Disability Index (NDI), Cervical Range of
Motion (CRoM), Pain Pressure Threshold (PPT), cervical repositioning error, and myoelectric activity
were evaluated. Cervical flexion, extension and left and right rotation showed a reduced range of
motion in both groups with respect to the normative values of the healthy population. There were no
statistically significant differences between the groups (p ≥ 05). The correlational analysis showed
a strong association between the NDI and CRoM of the left rotation (β = −0.880, p = 0.002). The
NDI also had a positive association with the pilot’s age (β = 1.353, p < 0.01) and the number of flight
hours (β = 0.805, p = 0.003). In conclusion, the Cervical Range of Motion at the left rotation seems to
determine the perceived degree of disability in both the instructors and students. This factor could be
influenced by the number of flight hours and accumulated experience as an F-5 fighter pilot. | es |
