![]() Currently, clinicians use all or any of visual estimations, a universal goniometer, an inclinometer, or a tape measure to make these assessments. These (cervical ROM) measures are also used to obtain records of an individual's degree of permanent impairment. Available from: Įvaluating the cervical spine range of motion (ROM) and patterns of motion is a key concern for clinicians in the diagnostic and functional assessment of patients with neck pain or musculoskeletal disease. Normal cervical spine range of motion using digital inclinometer in male asymptomatic subjects of Aseer, Saudi Arabia. ![]() Keywords: Cervical spine, range of motion, test and measurements Conclusion: Normal database of normal cervical ROM from age group of 10-80 years was established in male asymptomatic population of Aseer Region, Saudi Arabia. Results: All the cervical ranges decreased as the age increased. Six cervical movements (i.e., flexion/extension, lateral bending, and axial rotation) of five groups were analyzed and each of the six cervical AROMs decreased significantly with age. All the subjects were divided into seven groups in terms of age (10-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70-80 years) and the cervical ROM was determined. ![]() ![]() This tool was employed in a clinical setting to evaluate the full active ROM (AROM) of the cervical spine (i.e., flexion/extension, lateral bending, and axial rotation). Digital goniometer was used to measure the ROM of the cervical spine. Methodology: Two hundred and thirty-three asymptomatic subjects with age group of 10-80 years participated in the study. The purpose of this investigation was to quantify normal cervical ROM in male asymptomatic subjects of Aseer Region, Saudi Arabia. Background: Various studies determined the normal cervical spine range of motion (ROM) of a large group of patients with diverse socioeconomic and ethnic background and varying degree of routine daily activities. ![]()
