The goal of the cross-sectional study is to explore the impact of neck pain on tongue pressure in the middle-aged and elderly population and analyze the effects of different cranio-cervical positioning on tongue pressure performance.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Participants will complete all the assessments on the day of testing.
