ROM Neck Rotation

Position: Position your client lying on their back in a neutral position, head resting flat. The tablet should be positioned horizontally across the top of the centre of the head with the nose midline.

Cues: Slowly turn your head to the side as far as you can, keeping your head resting on the table and your shoulders still. Hold when you reach your maximum.

Step 1 – Press START on the side you are testing.
Step 2 – Position the tablet horizontally across the top of the head, aligned between the vertex and nose in the starting neutral position.
Step 3 – Tap the LINE icon near the distal end to begin angle capture.
Step 4 – Instruct the client to slowly rotate their head toward the side being tested to end range.
Step 5 – Once full rotation is reached, tap the screen to capture the angle.
Step 6 – Tap SAVE to record the result.
Step 7 – Repeat steps 1–6 on the other side.
