Deep Cervical Flexor Muscle Dysfunction in Whiplash
Abstract
Objective: To measure the deep neck flexor muscle function for its contribution to cervical segmental stabilization.Methods: A staged test of deep neck flexor action, cranio-cervical flexion, was devised. Activity in the superficial neck flexors [electromyography] and the change in shape of the cervical curve, aligned to deep flexor contraction [pressure sensor] was measured, in whiplash subjects and asymptomatic controls.Results: Whiplash subjects used more activity in superficial muscles in the test and were less able to control pressure changes than controls.Conclusion: The test appears to detect poorer motor control in the neck flexors in whiplash subjects, the increased co-activation of the superficial neck flexors being a likely compensation for reduced deep neck flexor function.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
