[Biomechanic contribution to measurement of power and action of neck muscles (author's transl)].
The position of the head depends on the function of the neck-muscles. Once the power of stabilization has been exhausted, the ligaments, particularly the superficial posterior, are stressed. A mathematical model has been developed for measuring the power of the muscles. This enables us to find out when and to which degree stress on the ligaments contributes to stabilization.
