Abstract

Cervical resting posture is a crucial factor in understanding and managing various neck-related conditions, including musculoskeletal disorders and pain. Accurate measurement and analysis of cervical posture are essential for healthcare professionals seeking to improve patient outcomes and guide treatment strategies. In this study, we present an innovative approach to measuring cervical resting posture using an adapted linear excursion measurement device. This device offers precise and reliable data on cervical posture in both the sagittal and coronal planes. We describe the device's design, functionality, and application, emphasizing its potential to enhance clinical assessments and inform treatment plans for individuals with cervical-related issues. Our findings underscore the significance of adopting technology-driven solutions for improving cervical posture evaluation and ultimately advancing patient care.
