Comparison of EMG activity of UT and SCM muscle according to neck flexion angle
(Unit: %MVIC)

NP NF15° NF45° F p
UT 2.70±1.30 4.72±3.92 6.22±5.06 13.64 <0.001*
SCM 2.88±1.36 5.30±4.44 8.47±6.33 9.88 0.001*

Values represent Mean±SD. NP: neutral position, NF15°: neck flexion 15°, NF45°: neck flexion 45°, UT: upper trapezius, SCM: sternocleidomastoid. *p<0.05,

†There is a significant difference compared to NP, ‡There is a significant difference compared to NF15°.
