“…According to a previous study on the characteristics of normal adults and adults with non-specific neck pain, the use of sternocleidomastoid was at its peak when performing cervical rotation in adults with neck pain [39]. Moreover, the percentage of use of the sternocleidomastoid was significantly higher in normal adults based on a measurement of the percentage of muscle use during neck rotation in five movements, such as the forward head posture and the quadrupedal machine posture, which were artificially taken [40]. In addition, as a result of measuring muscle activity and fatigue at one-hour intervals after three hours of computer use in normal adults and adults with neck pain, it was reported that stiffness and muscle fatigue were the most severe in the sternocleidomastoid of the neck of adults with neck pain [41].…”

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of cervical mobilization and deep cervical flexor training on muscle tone and pain in adults with non-specific neck pain. Using the Neck Disorder Index (NDI), 30 patients in the normal group and 30 patients in the neck pain group were classified, and comparisons were made between groups to clearly select subjects and identify the characteristics of non-specific neck pain. For 30 adults with non-specific neck pain, each was classified into the joint mobilization group, the deep cervical flexor training group, or the mixed group, and training was conducted twice a week for 10 minutes each for 4 weeks. As a result of comparing normal subjects with adults with non-specific neck pain, there was a significant difference only in the sternocleidomastoid muscle (p<.05). As a result of comparing the tone between groups, there was a significant difference in upper trapezius, sternocleidomastoid, levator scapulae (p<.05). And there was no significant in all three groups in the comparison of pain (p>.05). As a result of comparing the tone between groups, there was a significant difference in all muscles (p<.05), and there was no significant difference in all three groups in the comparison of pain between groups (p>.05).

This study examined the effects of the directions of neck rotation on the muscle activity of the upper trapezius and lower trapezius while rotating a shoulder externally. Methods: Twenty-five healthy males participated in this study. The subjects were asked to rotate their shoulder externally with 90° shoulder abduction and 90° elbow flexion in three different neck rotations (neutral, ipsilateral, and contralateral) in the prone position. The muscle activities of the upper and lower trapezius were measured using surface electromyography. One way repeated measures ANOVA was used to compare the muscle activity of the upper and lower trapezius depending on the different neck turning directions. Results: In the upper trapezius, turning the neck in the ipsilateral direction while turning a shoulder externally decreased the muscle activity significantly, but the muscle activity was increased significantly by turning the neck in the contralateral direction. On the other hand, in the lower trapezius, turning the neck in the ipsilateral direction increased the muscle activity significantly, but the muscle activity was decreased significantly by turning the neck in the contralateral direction decreased it significantly. Conclusion: When someone has an imbalance of shoulder function, turning the neck in the ipsilateral direction while turning the shoulder externally in the prone position is effective in decreasing the activity of the upper trapezius and increasing the activity of the lower trapezius. Therefore, these results could be used as basic evidence for researching patients with shoulder problems.
