Fig. 2. Head lifting strength was assessed as the percentage value of the AROM to the PROM in the supine position. AROM and PROM were measured by angle between the transverse line and the line from the mid-tragus to the C7 spinous process in each position status. To measure PROM, the patient was placed in the supine position with the neck passively and fully flexed, and was directed to maintain this position with the chin down. The support was withdrawn from the top of the motion and AROM was measured at the level to which the head dropped with the neck flexor muscles maintaining the isometric contraction.
