1

00:00:01,030 –> 00:00:03,360

With the patient seated

at the edge of the table
2

00:00:03,360 –> 00:00:05,130

and their feet flat on the ground,
3

00:00:05,130 –> 00:00:07,030

have them sit up nice and tall,
4

00:00:07,030 –> 00:00:09,920

and you’re gonna ask them to

side bend their head one way,
5

00:00:09,920 –> 00:00:11,530

then the other way.
6

00:00:11,530 –> 00:00:13,720

Place an inclinometer on top of their head
7

00:00:13,720 –> 00:00:17,233

that is zeroed-out and

then side bend to the left.
8

00:00:18,740 –> 00:00:22,150

Come back up and then

side bend to the right.
9

00:00:22,150 –> 00:00:24,420

You are looking for a

reproduction of symptoms
10

00:00:24,420 –> 00:00:26,263

as well as possible range of motion.

Purpose

• To assess for range of motion limitations and reproduction of symptoms

Associated ICF Category

• Neck pain with mobility deficits
• Neck pain with movement coordination impairments

Patient Position

• Seated in a tall upright position

Therapist Position

• Standing

Cues

1. Place an inclinometer that is zeroed out on top of patient’s head
2. Patient side bends to the left comes back to neutral
3. Patient side bends to the right then comes back to neutral
4. Look for reproduction of symptoms or decrease in range of motion
