In order to quantify the physical impairments associated with different types of headache, 77 subjects belonging to four different groups (postmotor vehicle accident cervicogenic headache subjects, cervicogenic headache subjects nontraumatic, migraine patients and control subjects) were evaluated using the following variables: posture, cervical range of motion, strength of the neck flexors and extensors, endurance of the short neck flexors, manual segmental mobility, proprioception of the neck, and pain (McGill Pain Questionnaire and the skin roll test). The results of this study showed that postmotor vehicle accident cervicogenic patients have significantly limited active cervical range of motion (in flexion/extension and rotations), present decreased strength and endurance of neck flexors and decreased strength of the extensor muscles. Our results suggest that there are enough differences between the postmotor vehicle accident and nontraumatic cervicogenic headache subjects to warrant caution when analysing the data of these two subgroups together, as several studies have done in the past. The onset of headache is therefore an important variable that should be controlled for when attempting to characterize the physical impairments associated with cervicogenic headache.
