PURPOSE OF REVIEW: We aim to give a systematic approach on how to assess the cause of a patient's abnormal head posture (AHP). RECENT FINDINGS: Over the decades, many important clinical observers and teachers have described diagnostic techniques for patients with AHP. Recently, Wong has added a new set of office-based diagnostic criteria that expand and solidify the office assessment of AHP. SUMMARY: We describe old and new, well known and poorly known office techniques for the assessment of AHP.
