Activation of Neck and Low-Back Muscles Is Reduced with the Use of a Neck Balance System Together with a Lumbar Support in Urban Drivers. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Driving is associated with high activation of low-back and neck muscles due to the sitting position and perturbations imposed by the vehicle. The aim of this study was to investigate the use of a neck balance system together with a lumbar support on the ...

STUDIES ON THE POST-CRANIAL MYOLOGY OF CHAMAELEON VULGARIS, FAMILY: CHAMAELEONTIDAE 1- AXIAL MUSCLES: CERVICAL REGION [PDF]
Assiut Veterinary Medical Journal, 1992 Studies of the present work revealed that, the cervical muscles of chamaeleon vulgaris are relatively short due to the reduction of the neck region and the anterior shift of the foramen magnum in respect with the parietal crests.

Endurance of the Dorsal and Ventral Muscles in the Neck [PDF]
Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology, 2020 Endurance of the muscles of the neck are rarely studied. This study measured the endurance index (EI) of the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) and upper trapezius muscles of the neck (trap). The vastus lateralis (VL) was used for comparison. Skeletal muscle endurance of twelve healthy subjects, age 19–22 years, were tested on their SCM and trap in random order
