Insufficient deep neck extensors could contribute to neck complaints, which is why the cervical extensor endurance test aims to identify weakness of superficial and deep neck extensors.

The head and neck are positioned past the edge of the table, with the cervicothoracic junction stabilized. Ask the patient to sustain a chin tuck position in neutral for 20 seconds.

A positive finding for weakness of the deep neck extensors is an increase in chin length or losing the chin tuck, indicating dominance of the superficial neck extensors.

Weakness of both deep and superficial neck extensors is indicated when the patient moves into neck flexion due to the inability to hold the head up.

Sebastian et al. (2015) report a change of 5 to 10 degrees from a maximal cranioservical flexion position to a relative cranioservical extension position for the deep cervical test. A flexion deflection of more than 10 degrees for the global test is considered a positive finding.
