STUDY DESIGN: Quantified cervical physical examination data are provided for a group of 160 incumbent railroad workers from four laboring crafts. OBJECTIVES: The subjects were tested for cervical mobility and strength, according to standardized protocols as part of a comprehensive physical examination and functional testing procedure to establish normative data associated with the axial musculoskeletal system. RESULTS: Tri-planar cervical inclinometric mobility norms are provided, as are sagittal and coronal isometric cervical strength data.
