What are the gold standard tests done manually to measure neck muscle static and dynamic strength and endurance? Is there normative data available on this? I would like to work on the same aspect, so require help regarding it.

Dear Rachana
I think in the book: Muscle Strength edited by Shrawan Kumar CRC PRESS
In the chapter 13: cervical muscle strengh by Robert Ferrari, you can find these informations
Hallo Rachana,
The question has not been specified which neck muscles says flexer, extensers, side flexers or rotators etc...
I hope the below link may help you...

Neck muscle endurance can be quantified using Pressure biofeedback apparatus. There is a specific protocol to progress the exercise. The output will be calculated or expressed either in Pressure Performance index or Pressure Index based on the hold time in each pressure points and the number of repetitations performed by the subjects. It usually ranges from 22 mm to 30 mm with five stages of increment. Many studies were done on it.
