58 patients with non-severe chronic neck pain were examined to determine change in cervical and thoracic neck posture when a distracting task was given and additionally, randomized to undergo one of two exercise intervention regimens, or a control group. The first group underwent training for the craniocervical flexor muscles while the second group underwent endurance-strength training of the cervical flexor muscles. Results indicated that patients undergoing an exercise regimen that focused on training the craniocervical flexor muscles developed improved ability in maintaining neutral cervical posture compared to the endurance-strength training regimen group and the control group.
