Neck pain often arises from tight neck muscles that pull the neck vertebrae slightly out of alignment, called subluxation, which then impinge on sensory nerves entering the spine between these vertebrae. These sensory nerves relay that information back to the brain setting off the alarm in the form of pain.
Wrist Bending. Forward bending of your wrist is called flexion. This motion is needed for daily activities such as styling your hair, writing, getting dressed, using a screwdriver and lifting heavy objects. Normal wrist flexion is approximately 70 to 90 degrees.
The combined range of motion refers to the sum of the range of forward flexion, extension, left and right lateral flexion, and left and right rotation. The normal combined range of motion of the cervical spine is 340 degrees and of the thoracolumbar spine is 240 degrees. The normal ranges of motion for each component of spinal motion provided in this note are the maximum that can be used for calculation of the combined range of motion.
