Abstract
Study Design:
Quantified cervical physical examination data are provided for a group of 160 incumbent railroad workers from four laboring crafts.
Objectives:
The subjects were tested for cervical mobility and strength, according to standardized protocols as part of a comprehensive physical examination and functional testing procedure to establish normative data associated with the axial musculoskeletal system.
Results:
Tri-planar cervical inclinometric mobility norms are provided, as are sagittal and coronal isometric cervical strength data.
