Abstract

This paper deals with the muscle force of the cervical spine in patients
with cervical syndrome compared to the muscle activity in non-patients. It has
thus been observed that both the flexors' and the extensors' force of the cervical
spine is much greater in non-patients, the precise measurements having been
carried out by a dynamometer.
The groups being tested comprised 30 persons each, lS men and 1S women.
The average age of the patient group was 41.9 years, namely between 21 and S6
years, while that of the non-patients group was 40.6 years, between 26 and SS years.
As regards the professional engagement of both groups and, accordingly, the
strain on the cervical spine and the corresponding musculature, they were approximately
the same.
