Exercise Regimen for Mitigation of Neck Pain in Military Aircrew and Support Personnel

This collaborative Department of Defense-academia-Department of Veterans Affairs research highlights the effectiveness of regular PLED-based cervical musculature exercises in enhancing ROM and endurance. While promising, further research with larger datasets is needed to support definitive recommendations. Moreover, the study's findings may benefit a broad population engaging in activities that stress the cervical spine and surrounding musculature.
