Neck Flexor Endurance Test

The neck flexor muscle endurance test is a clinical assessment used to evaluate the endurance and strength of the deep cervical flexor muscles. This clinical test involves maintaining a chin tuck position for as long as possible to assess muscle endurance.

A positive Cervical Flexion Rotation Test indicates dysfunction or instability in the upper cervical spine. It is characterized by the inability to maintain cervical rotation while performing a chin tuck, suggesting potential cervical spine pathology.

Deep neck flexor strength can be measured using manual muscle testing or specialized equipment such as a dynamometer. It involves assessing the force generated by the deep cervical flexor muscles during specific movements or resistive tasks.
