Reading made reflex by measured elect
stim less in people with radiculopathy to start but not in
those who had none
Those who got worse where better
subjective and objective after neck retraction exercises.
Previous study same people indicated
extension and lateral flexion and or rotation to same side as
measure improved amplitude of response. Flexion worsened it.

Objective confirmation of what I postulated
Dolan
P, Adams MA, Hutton WC Spine 1988 Feb;13(2):197-201
Polytechnic of Central
London, England.
The activity of the erector
spinae muscles and the changes in lumbar curvature were
measured in 11 subjects in a range of commonly adopted
postures to see if there were any consistent trends.
Surface electrodes were used
to measure back muscle activity and lumbar curvature was
measured using electronic inclinometers. The results showed
that many commonly adopted postures reduced the lumbar
lordosis when compared with erect standing or sitting, even at
the expense of increasing the back muscle activity.
