[Purpose] The objective of this study was to compare the active cervical range of motion (CROM) of asymptomatic subjects without orthosis with wearing cervical soft collars or with cervical 5cross-taping. [Subjects] Twenty-three asymptomatic subjects (13 males, 10 females) without neck or shoulder pain agreed to participate in this study. [Methods] The active neck movement (flexion, extension, and left and right rotation and lateral flexion) of the subjects was measured using a CROM instrument without orthosis, while wearing a cervical soft collar, and with cervical-5 cross-taping. [Results] All active neck movements with cervical-5 cross-taping were significantly reduced compared to without orthosis. All active neck movements while wearing soft cervical collars were significantly reduced compared to without orthosis and cervical-5 cross-taping. [Conclusion] These preliminary results suggest that cervical-5 cross-taping using Kinesio tape may allow more active neck movement than soft cervical collars and be more supported than without orthosis.
