Background and Purpose. The purposes of the study were to linear measurements of cervical range of motion are confounded by differences in body size when comparisons are ade between groups find to introduce an alternative measure of range of motion that adjusts for variation in body size. Subjects. The sample consisted of 42 subjects (25 female, 17 male) with chronic posttraumatic headaches Methods. Using a tape measure, a physical therapist measured the distance between two anatomical landmarks with the subject's neck in the anatomical neutral position and with the subject's neck fully ...
