Normative Values and Inter-rater Reliability of Deep Neck Flexor Muscle Endurance Test
Deep neck flexor muscle endurance test is valuable in assessment of patients with forward head posture, neck pain, migraine & headache. Little data is available regarding normative values of DNF muscle endurance test in Indian population. The current study established the normative data for performance of deep cervical flexor muscle endurance test in a group of active males and females. Ninety ...
متن کاملReduced endurance of the cervical flexor muscles in patients with concurrent temporomandibular disorders and neck disability.
Subjects with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) have been found to have clinical signs and symptoms of cervical dysfunction. Although many studies have investigated the relationship between the cervical spine and TMD, no study has evaluated the endurance capacity of the cervical muscles in patients with TMD. Thus the objective of this study was to determine whether patients with TMD had a redu...
متن کاملIntersession reliability and concurrent validity of isometric endurance tests for the lateral trunk muscles.
CONTEXT A torso-elevated side support (TESS) has previously been described for measuring endurance of the lateral trunk muscles. In some individuals, however, TESS performance may be hindered by upper extremity pain or fatigue. For this reason a novel test, the feet-elevated side-support test (FESS), was examined. OBJECTIVE To determine intersession reliability of a FESS and a TESS on the lef...
متن کاملeffects of temperature on wrist flexor muscles endurance
background: it is widely recognized that neuromuscular function is temperature sensitive. changes in muscle temperature may affect muscle force development. the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of temperature on wrist flexor muscles endurance. methods: fifteen healthy subjects (mean age 21.13 ±1.30 years) participated in the present study. the wrist flexor muscles endurance wa...
متن کاملClinical assessment of the deep cervical flexor muscles: the craniocervical flexion test.
BACKGROUND The craniocervical flexion test (CCFT) is a clinical test of the anatomical action of the deep cervical flexor muscles, the longus capitis, and colli. It has evolved over 15 years as both a clinical and research tool and was devised in response to research indicating the importance of the deep cervical flexors in support of the cervical lordosis and motion segments and clinical obser...
