Lower spinal postural variability during laptop-work in subjects with cervicogenic headache compared to healthy controls

Abstract Spinal postural variability (SPV) is a prerequisite to prevent musculoskeletal complaints during functional tasks. Our objective was to evaluate SPV in cervicogenic headache (CeH) since CeH is characterized by such complaints. A non-randomized repeated-measure design was applied to compare...
