Abstract
<h2>Summary</h2> Measurement of cervical posture in a treatment setting is frustrated by limited access to accurate equipment which is inexpensive and time-efficient. This paper describes a device which provides reproducible measurements of the linear movement occurring at the superior-most tip of the helix of the ear, and the spinous process of C7, during excursion movement of the head from a corrected position of chin retraction to the usual resting head position. Angles of excursion were computed from the linear measurements. The device is portable, inexpensive to manufacture and quick to use. The temporal stability and reliability of the measurements produced by this device suggest it would be useful in clinical settings for measuring change in cervical posture over time.
