Specification of Neck Muscle Dysfunction through Digital Image Analysis Using Machine Learning
Diagnostics, 2022 Everyone has or will have experienced some degree of neck pain. Typically, neck pain is associated with the sensation of tense, tight, or stiff neck muscles. However, it is unclear whether the neck muscles are objectively stiffer with neck pain.

The occipital lateral plate mesoderm is a novel source for vertebrate neck musculature [PDF]
, 2010 In vertebrates, body musculature originates from somites, whereas head muscles originate from the cranial mesoderm. Neck muscles are located in the transition between these regions.

Jaw Dysfunction Is Associated with Neck Disability and Muscle Tenderness in Subjects with and without Chronic Temporomandibular Disorders [PDF]
, 2014 Purpose. Tender points in the neck are common in patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD). However, the correlation among neck disability, jaw dysfunction, and muscle tenderness in subjects with TMD still needs further investigation.

Neck muscle biomechanics and neural control [PDF]
Journal of Neurophysiology, 2018 The mechanics, morphometry, and geometry of our joints, segments, and muscles are fundamental biomechanical properties intrinsic to human neural control. The goal of our study was to investigate whether the biomechanical actions of individual neck muscles predict their neural control.

Clinical Parkinsonism & Related Disorders, 2019 We describe a patient with goose-neck posture as the presenting form of cervical dystonia. In our case, the bilateral semispinalis capitis muscles were hypertrophic, thick, and overactive while both splenius capitis and sternocleidomastoid muscles were ...

A practical approach to the patient presenting with dropped head [PDF]
, 2016 Head drop, or having a dropped head, is an uncommon condition in which patients present with a disabling inability to lift their head. It may arise in many neurological conditions that can be divided into those with neuromuscular weakness of neck ...
