Craniocervical Posture Assessed With Photogrammetry and the Accuracy of Palpation Methods for Locating the Seventh Cervical Spinous Process: A Cross-sectional Study
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare craniocervical posture assessed by photogrammetry using 2 distinct palpation methods for locating the spinous process of the seventh cervical vertebra (C7SP).
METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2 phases. In phase I (n = 42), the assessor's accuracy in locating the C7SP using the flexion-extension and the modified thorax-rib static methods was compared to radiography. In phase …
