Range of Motion: Neck Lateral Flexion

To test Neck Lateral Flexion range of motion with an inclinometer, follow these steps:

1. Have the client adopt an upright seated or standing position. 
2. Place the Measurz inclinometer on top of the client’s head - the option is also there to place the smart device behind or on the side of the client’s head. 
3. Instruct the client to lateral tilt their head to one side.
4. Once maximal range of motion is achieved, hit the pause, and then the save button to generate and view the results. NB: Should observe a result of at least 45 degrees of neck lateral flexion.

The normal range of Neck Lateral Flexion range of motion is typically considered to be 45-50 degrees to each side. However, it's important to note that the normal range can vary depending on factors such as age, sex, and overall health status.
