Neck Mobility Assessment

Is this for yourself or for a patient?

The Neck Mobility Assessment is designed to assess your neck range of motion in all planes of movement. You will perform neck flexion and extension, side bend in both directions, rotation in both directions, and flexion + rotation. It would be in your best interest to film it directly head-on as well as from the side at a 90-degree angle, it is ok to do separate videos and to also make note of how each movement feels.

Prehab Goals & Normative Values:

Flexion -> chin to sternum

Extension -> back of skull to base of neck

Rotation -> chin in line with the collarbone

Side bend -> no pain or glaring asymmetries side to side

Flexion + Rotation -> chin to middle of collarbone

Take the assessment, write down your score, and track your progress throughout the program.
