The repeatability of instrumented assessments of postero-anterior (PA) movements has been reported previously for lumbar and thoracic spines, but only in relation to limited parameters of the movement. This study describes a device for measuring PA movements of the cervical spine and reports on repeatability of the entire force/displacement (FD) curves. Repeatability was assessed using coeffici...
