Musculoskelet Sci Pract. 2025 Sep 10;80:103414. doi: 10.1016/j.msksp.2025.103414. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The suboccipital muscle complex critically contributes to upper cervical biomechanics and proprioceptive regulation of head posture; however, the comprehensive morphometric characterization and prevalence of its anatomical variants remain poorly defined. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate the morphometric characteristics and variations […]
