Human Gene Set: HP_NUCHAL_RIGIDITY


Standard name HP_NUCHAL_RIGIDITY
Systematic name M38448
Brief description Nuchal rigidity
Full description or abstract Resistance of the extensor muscles of the neck to being bent forwards (i.e., impaired neck flexion) as a result of muscle spasm of the extensor muscles of the neck. Nuchal rigidity is not a fixed rigidity. Nuchal rigidity has been used as a bedside test for meningism, although its sensitivity for this purpose has been debated. [PMID:12060874]
