Popis:	This study had three purposes: to compare active neck and upper extremity range of motion (ROM) in women and men in context of expected values, to examine ROM decrease with age in women and men, and to predict age-related ROM in older women and men. Sixty-one women and 25 men who lived independently in the community were measured. ROM was less for older women and older men when compared to expected values. ROM declined with age for both women and men; however, women maintained greater range. The estimated regression coefficients can be used to predict ROM in older women and men. Clinical implications in evaluation are discussed.
