The goal of the cervical spine exam is to detect spinal cord injury and the potential for such injury resulting from an instability of the cervical spine. Through the exam, test the range of motion, check for tenderness, and also examine the athlete for upper and lower limb sensation and strength. Notes can be captured in this section for review when you conduct your next post-injury exam.
