Deep Neck Flexor Endurance: A Normative Data Score in Normal Healthy Indian Population
Journal Title: IJAR-Indian Journal of Applied Research - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 8
Abstract
Muscular endurance is the ability of a muscle to generate tension, sustain that tension & resist fatigue over a prolonged period of time against load. Earlier researches states that any challenge to cervical spine flexor endurance could lead to cervical dysfunction, tissue overload, trauma & pain. Since importance of neck flexors endurance is emphasised upon by researchers, our aim was to establish the normative database of neck flexor endurance for the Indian population too. DNF endurance test was done on normal subjects & scores recorded for primary purpose of having a standard research value which could be used for clinical & research purposes. Secondary aim of study was to see for any correlation between DNF endurance & anthropometric measures of neck length & head circumference. The Mean DNF endurance hold time for Indian males was 55.5±25 seconds & for females was 45.2±23 seconds. No significant correlation was observed between DNF endurance & anthropometric variables.
