AB The aim of this study is to establish a relationship between non-strabismic binocular dysfunctionand neck pain. One hundred twelve participants underwent binocular vision assessmentby evaluating horizontal heterophoria, horizontal and vertical fusional vergenceranges and vergence facility. The subjects were classified into two groups: binocular anomaliesand normal binocular function. Neck complaints were measured with the Neck DisabilityIndex, visual analogue scale, cervical range of motion, deep-flexor muscle activationscore (AS) and performance index (PI). Our results showed that participants with low AShad significantly altered values of lateral phoria (near) (mean = -6.99 SD ± 6.96 PD) andPFV (near) blur (mean = 9.49 SD ± 5.45 PD) against those who presented normal AS (lateralphoria (near) mean = -3.64 SD ± 6.37 PD; PFV (near) blur mean = 12.84 SD ± 6.20 PD). Inaddition, participants with NFV (near) recovery outside the norm had a significantly lowerright side-bending (mean = 35.63 SD ± 8.35 PD) than those within the standard (mean =39.64 SD ± 9 PD). The subjects with binocular vision impairment showed a diminishedresponse to the deep cervical musculature, with low AS and PI, as well as a tendency to sufferfrom cervicalgia of more than three months’ evolution and a lower range of motion.
