Abstract

The primary aim of this scoping review is to firstly map and summarise current literature on existing clinical tests and assessment methods used to identify the involvement of the cervical spine in individuals presenting with dizziness and concurrent neck pain. A second aim is to highlight gaps in the current evidence, particularly in relation to diagnostic clarity and clinical utility of the identified tests.
