Abstract(s)

The school community is exposed to numerous risk factors for the occurrence of neck pain. These symptoms may cause restrictions on their functional capacity and there’s a need to make a proper measurement of this phenomenon, in a valid and reproducible manner. For this, the most recommended instrument is the Neck Disability Index (NDI); however its use in Portugal requires an analysis of its psychometric properties.
