Muscle conditioning protocol for dorsal neck muscles as conducted in supine (A) and side-lying (B) body postures. Panel C represents the 2 forms of muscle conditioning protocol – hold short and hold long. Horizontal lines represent changes in length of dorsal neck muscles (note, horizontal lines are separated for display purposes only). During hold long conditioning, dorsal neck muscles are lengthened from a neutral position (length). During hold short conditioning, dorsal neck muscles are shortened from the same midline length. Grey boxes indicate 20% MVC contraction of dorsal neck muscles.
