Subjects with chronic neck pain
demonstrated a reduced ability tomaintain an upright neutral posture
when distracted by a computer task.
Following intervention with an exercise
program targeted at retraining
the craniocervical flexor muscles,
subjects with chronic neck pain
demonstrated improved ability to
maintain a neutral cervical posture
during prolonged sitting. This most
likely reflects an improvement in the
endurance of the muscles that control
the postural position of the neck
during function.
