Neck muscle function in violinists/violists with and without neck pain
Clinical Rheumatology, 2015Neck pain is associated with changes in neuromuscular control of cervical muscles. Violin and viola playing requires good function of the flexor muscles to stabilize the instrument. This study investigated the flexor muscle behaviour in violin/viola players with and without neck pain using the craniocervical flexion test (CCFT).

Semispinalis capitis muscle (SECM) is a massive and long cervico-thoracic muscle which functions as a main head and neck extensor muscle. The aim of this study was to detect the effect of head and neck positions on the strength of neck extensor muscles and size of SECM in healthy subjects.

Effect of muscle wrapping on model estimates of neck muscle strength
Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering, 2006Of the computational models of the cervical spine reported in the literature, not one takes into account the changes in muscle paths due to the underlying vertebrae. Instead, all model the individual muscle paths as straight-line segments. The major aim of this study was to quantify the changes in muscle moment arm, muscle force and joint moment due to

Neck Muscles in the Rhesus Monkey. I. Muscle Morphometry and Histochemistry
Journal of Neurophysiology, 2001Morphometric methods were used to describe the musculotendinous lengths, fascicle lengths, pennation angles, and cross-sectional areas of neck muscles in adult Macaca mulatta monkeys. Additionally, muscles were frozen, sectioned, and stained for ATPase activity to determine fiber-type composition. Individual rhesus muscles were found to vary widely in

Morphology and distribution of muscle spindles in dorsal muscles of the cat neck
Journal of Neurophysiology, 1975Silver-stained sections have been examined from the five dorsal neck muscles splenius, biventer, cervicis, complexus, rectus capitis major, and occipitoscapularis. Every serial section was examined for at least one muscle of each type so that a complete description of the spindle distribution and morphology could be made.

Physiological properties of muscle spindles in dorsal neck muscles of the cat
Journal of Neurophysiology, 19791. Single-fiber recording was used to examine the properties of 107 spindle endings in cat biventer cervicis (BC) and complexus (CM) muscles. Responses of receptors were examined following muscle contraction and ramp and hold stretch. Twenty-two endings in splenius (SP) were also examined, but their responses could not be quantitated because the ...

The neck region contains very important anatomical structures. It is a very important region from a clinical point of view, and it is very important for doctors, dentists, nurses, health technicians and everyone who provides services in the field to know the neck anatomy. The neck is the body part between the head and the trunk.

Abstract The head (5 kg) is held up by 10 pairs of muscles that are in located the posterior part of the neck and connect the base of the head with the spines. These muscles are constantly active against gravity. Weakness of these muscles leads to dropped head and posterior neck pain, which are common manifestation of several ...
