Summary: The study aimed to determine effective stretching positions for neck extensor muscles, finding that positions involving contralateral bending were most effective for elongation of the upper trapezius and splenius capitis. Furthermore, stretching positions including contralateral bending were also effective for the levator scapulae.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of idiopathic chronic neck pain on muscle stiffness and muscle activity. The findings revealed that individuals with idiopathic chronic neck pain exhibited lower activation of the upper trapezius muscle during bilateral reaching tasks, without corresponding changes in stiffness. Similarly, these individuals showed decreased sternocleidomastoid stiffness during forward reaching, without changes in muscle activation. Additionally, women displayed consistently higher sternocleidomastoid activation and stiffness compared to men.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of helmet conditions, movement magnitude, and movement axes on the loads acting on the neck during rapid head movements. The results showed that every 30 degrees of movement magnitude increased compression forces by 57 to 105 N. The study also found that changing the helmet configuration had minimal influence on the compression forces.

Summary: This study evaluated the electromyographic activity of the sternocleidomastoid muscle during the craniocervical flexion test (CCFT) in individuals with neck pain and healthy volunteers, assessing the reliability of the method. The results showed high reliability of the electromyographic activity of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, but no clear alterations were detected in individuals with neck pain.

Summary: This study compares the optimal technique between prone and kneeling positions for endotracheal intubation on a mannequin lying on the ground with cervical spine immobilization. The results show that there is no statistically significant difference in successful intubation, time taken, and laryngeal view classification between the two positions.

Summary: This study highlights the importance of the Asia-Pacific region globally, focusing on the occupational heat illness risks faced under tropical climates, and proposing morphological hypotheses to explain inter-individual differences in heat production and loss. Additionally, mechanisms underlying work intolerance, cardiovascular insufficiency and heat illness are discussed, with evidence-based preventative and treatment strategies presented.
