Body Mass Index (BMI) is thought to impact radiculopathy symptoms. The pressure exerted by fatty tissue on muscle tissue can also significantly affect the nerves. This condition causes radiculopathy. Therefore, high BMI causes an increase in the incidence of radiculopathy. Consequently, it is thought that pain caused by cervical radiculopathy may be related to BMI and affect functionality. Also, it is believed that with the increase in the load on the cervical region, there will be an increase in degenerative disorders and an increase in the incidence of radiculopathy. This study examines the relationship between BMI and peripheral muscle strength, pain, range of motion, disability, quality of life, and functionality in patients with cervical radiculopathy.
