Function and structure of the deep cervical extensor muscles in patients with neck pain

Manual Therapy, 2013
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 confirmed changes in cervical flexor muscle control in patients with neck pain and as a result, effective evidence-based therapeutic exercises have been developed to address such ...

Neural Control of Superficial and Deep Neck Muscles in Humans

Journal of Neurophysiology, 2007
Human neck muscles have a complex multi-layered architecture. The role and neural control of these neck muscles were examined in nine seated subjects performing three series of isometric neck muscle contractions: 50-N contractions in eight fixed horizontal directions, 25-N contractions, and 50-N contractions, both with a continuously changing ...

Electromyography of Superficial and Deep Neck Muscles During Isometric, Voluntary, and Reflex Contractions

Journal of Biomechanical Engineering, 2006
Increasingly complex models of the neck neuromusculature need detailed muscle and kinematic data for proper validation. The goal of this study was to measure the electromyographic activity of superficial and deep neck muscles during tasks involving isometric, voluntary, and reflexively evoked contractions of the neck muscles.

Deep, posterior muscles of the neck. A proposal for injection procedures

Toxicon
The emergence of the col-cap concept in the 2010s led to a focus on previously neglected muscles, hoping to improve the benefit of botulinum toxin injections in patients with movements disorders of the head and neck. The deep posterior cervical muscles are part of this.

Characteristics of head and neck alignment and function of deep cervical flexor muscles in patients with nonspecific neck pain

Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies, 2022
Abstract Objective To compare forward head posture (FHP) in natural and corrected head postures between patients with nonspecific neck pain (NSNP) and controls, and to clarify the relationship between natural- and corrected-head posture angle differences and deep cervical flexor function.

Improving Muscle Performance of the Deep Neck Flexors

Strength and Conditioning Journal, 2007
Cervical disorders affect up to 70% of the population and have a recurrence rate of up to 38%. Researchers have reported an association between impaired muscle performance of the deep neck flexors and cervical disorders. The authors present a three stage program designed to improve strength, endurance, and activation of the deep neck flexors that is ...

The effect of deep neck flexor endurance on craniovertebral angle changes and neck and shoulder muscle activities during a computer task

International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics, 2023
The deep neck flexors are important for maintaining neck posture by stabilizing and supporting it through low-intensity contraction, ensuring static endurance. The subjects performed computer tasks after having their deep neck flexor endurance measured using a pressure biofeedback unit.

The effect of neck stabilization exercise in the sitting position on the change in deep muscle thickness, neck pain, and NDI in patients with neck pain

The Korean Society of Medicine & Therapy Science, 2023
Objective: The purpose was to measure changes in neck pain, NDI, and deep neck muscle thickness during neck stabilization exercises in a sitting position, and to confirm the effects of postural changes. Method: Participants were divided into a lying posture exercise group (10 participants) and a sitting posture exercise group (10 participants) to ...

Size and shape of the posterior neck muscles measured by ultrasound imaging: normal values in males and females of different ages

Manual Therapy, 2005
Measurements of muscle strength or size are valuable indicators of muscle status in health and disease. When force cannot be measured directly, due to a particular muscle being one of a functional group or because of pain, size measurements may be the ...
