The diagnostic validity of the cervical side bend-rotation test for C 1/2 dysfunction
The SBRT, using a cutoff score of ≤25°, appears to be a sensitive test to detect C1-2 dysfunction. Based on the strong sensitivity and negative predictive values, scores greater than 25° may effectively rule-out C1-2 dysfunction. The SBRT should be considered as part of a sequential clinical decision-making process when screening for C1-2 dysfunction, although further research is required to improve generalizability of these findings.
