It is characterized by pain in the posterior and lateral muscles of the neck, muscle contractures and partial functional impotence. An important finding is that approximately 60% of total cervical rotation takes place at C1-C2, regardless of age. The test used to diagnose dysfunction of the upper cervical spine is the Cervical Rotation Flexion Test (CRFT) and is measured in degrees through various instruments, the most current validated by scientific literature are mobile applications (Clinometer and Compass ). Having in clear the importance of the location (C1-C2) of the origin of many of the symptoms and signs that cervicalgia generates and mainly the restriction of the range of movement that they produce in the cervical spine.
