Summary

Cervicocranial flexion exercise (CCFE) and superficial neck flexor endurance training have been widely implemented in clinical practice for curing chronic neck pain. By means of CCFE, the muscle balance between deep neck flexor and superficial flexor would be optimal during neck movement. In other words, the superficial neck flexor( scalenes, SCM, and trapezius) would not overactive and the fatigue threshold might increase. Superficial neck flexor endurance training is proved to be efficient in reducing superficial cervical flexor muscle fatigue as well as increasing cervical flexion strength.

Reasonably, Cervicocranial flexion exercise (CCFE) and superficial neck flexor endurance training are also beneficial to pulmonary function due to training the respiratory accessory muscle (scalens and SCM). Hence this article hypothesizes that Cervicocranial flexion exercise (CCFE) and superficial neck flexor endurance training combined with common pulmonary rehabilitation will manifest better outcomes (pulmonary function, dyspnea situation, pain and stiffness level of neck) than pulmonary rehabilitation only.
