Advances in research on the suboccipital muscles

doi:10.16098/j.issn.0529-1356.2020.01.026

Abstract

Abstract:

The suboccipital muscle group has been paid more and more attention by the rehabilitation community. Its special junction and special structure make many diseases and symptoms have important association with it. This article will introduce the research progress of suboccipital muscle group from four parts: anatomy, physiological function, common cause of injury and clinical application.

Key words: Suboccipital muscle, Physiological functional characteristics, Common cause of injury, Clinical application, Anatomy

CLC Number:

R322
