Abstract
In the N-WC, head-neck alignment was close to the neutral posture because the wheelchair support belt accommodated kyphosis and did not push the spine forward, so cervical muscle activity may be reduced when at rest. These results suggest that the N-WC prevented forward head posture and improved cervical movement and muscle activity.
