Neck pain is very common, but most of the causes are unknown, making diagnosis and
treatment extremely challenging. Current studies have found that one of the main problems …

Background Neck pain is a major health issue with high rates of recurrence. It presents with
a variety of altered sensorimotor functions. Exercise is a cornerstone of rehabilitation and …

The deep cervical extensors are anatomically able to control segmental movements of the
cervical spine in concert with the deep cervical flexors. Several investigations have …

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of scapular stabilization
exercise on neck posture, muscle activity, pain, and quality of life in individuals with neck …

Neck pain is a significant health problem due to its high incident rates and economic costs.
Increased use of touch screen mobile devices is becoming pervasive in the modern society …

Background Although exercise can be effective for relief of neck pain, little is known about
the effect of exercise on the neural control of neck muscles. Methods A randomized …

This study compared the immediate effects of an assisted plus active cranio-cervical flexion
exercise (exercise group) versus a passive mobilisation plus assisted cranio-cervical flexion …

Background The craniocervical flexion test assesses the deep cervical flexor muscles
(longus capitis, longus colli). Ideally, electromyography (EMG) studies measure activity in …

Background This study investigates the reliability of muscle performance tests using cost-
and time-effective methods similar to those used in clinical practice. When conducting …

Cervical-spine sensorimotor control is associated with chronicity and recurrence of neck
pain (NP). Tests used to measure sensorimotor impairments lack consistency in studied …
