Training craniocervical flexor muscles improves neutral cervical posture .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Effect of neck exercise on sitting posture in patients with chronic neck pain.
Phys Ther. 2007 Apr;87(4):408-17. Epub 2007 Mar 658 patients with non-severe chronic neck pain were examined to determine change in cervical and thoracic neck posture when a distracting task was given and additionally, randomized to undergo one of two exercise intervention regimens, or a control group. The first group underwent training for the craniocervical flexor muscles while the second group underwent endurance-strength training of the cervical flexor muscles. Results indicated that patients undergoing an exercise regimen that focused on training the craniocervical flexor muscles developed improved ability in maintaining neutral cervical posture compared to the endurance-strength training regimen group and the control group.
