Table 5 Anti-directional joint motion. Table 5 shows anti-directional end-range motion and anti-directional surplus motion for flexion and extension

From: The global end-ranges of neck flexion and extension do not represent the maximum rotational ranges of the cervical intervertebral joints in healthy adults - an observational study
