This study investigated the sagittal plane active range of motion (ROM) of the global (GCS) and upper cervical spine (UCS) in relation to age and sex in healthy volunteers. One hundred twenty-two volunteersmaged 18 to 75 years participated. Volunteers were excluded if they displayed any characteristic that could affect cervical spine ROM. GCS and UCS flexion and extension were each measured three times using a CROM device. Linear regression models (LRMs) were developed to explore the relationships between age and sex and GCS and UCS ROM. The LRM for age showed a decrease in GCS flexion (-2.01º), GCS extension (-3.33º), and UCS extension (-1.87º) for every decade of increasing age. The LRM for sex showed that men displayed less ROM than women in GCS extension (-6.52º) and UCS extension (-2.43º). These results suggest an age-related loss of sagittal plane GCS ROM and UCS extension ROM, and sex-related differences in GCS and UCS extension with women having greater motion than men. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 3.2 2023 BIOLOGY 26 / 109 = 0.239 2023 Q1 T1 0.713 2023 Paleontology 2023 Q1 Space and Planetary Science 2023 Q2 Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (miscellaneous) 2023 Q2 Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics 2023 Q2 4.3 2023 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Rodríguez Rubio, Pere Ramón Brandt, Lindsay Krauss, John Hernández Secorún, Mar Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-9678-3449 Lucha López, Orosia Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-9930-3903 Hidalgo García, César Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-7667-2178 1006 413 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
