Deep Neck Flexor Function

Deep Neck Flexor Function is a biomechanical construct that refers to the capacity of the longus colli and longus capitis muscles to stabilize the cervical spine through isometric contractions and controlled voluntary movements, distinguishing it from superficial neck flexor activity by its selective recruitment for postural endurance and segmental control.
