This sounds like something that you read in an exam form or diagnostic report. ?What is being described is either active range of motion in the neck or passive range of motion in the neck. ?Active range of motion meaning how far you can flex or turn you neck yourself, passive range of motion meaning how far can the doctor move your neck. ?
Forward flexion meaning how far can your head move forward in degrees as you bring your chin to your chest. ?Extension meaning how far can you bring your head back like you are looking at the ceiling. ?Rotation meaning how far can you turn your head to the right or the left. ?Side ending, lateral bending, or lateral flexion meaning how far could you bend you head to the right or left side, as if you were bringing your ear toward your shoulder.
There are different "normal" values for active versus passive. ?And in fact there are different values for active or passive amongst many different textbooks. ?It sounds like "side bending" range of motion is reduced when bending to the right when compared to the left. ?It also sounds like "cervical rotation" is reduced when turning to the left when compared to the right.?
Reduced cervical range of motion is an indicator of some kind of neck dysfunction that is probably musculoskeletal. ?What that dysfunction is requires a complete history & examination that may include the addition of special tests like x-rays, MRI, CT, &/or EMG. ?You should seek the advice of your health-care professional to determine what this means in the context of a complete examination. ?From there you can discuss with your health-care professional how best to treat your problem.

What is the vertebral movement?
Forward bending or flexion, backward bending or extension. Side to side bending or lateral flexion and rotation.
Could a neck injury result in cervical radiculitis?
Cervical radiculitius can be caused by a neck injury but, is not always associated with one. It is caused by an impact to the neck OR repeated bending of the neck. I have it and all of a sudden I woke up with my neck sideways and extreme nerve pain in my right arm. Hope this helps.
What muscles make you bend forward at the waist?
The flexor muscles are used when bending forward at the waist. The flexor muscles are located in the cervical and lumbar spine.
What movement does your elbow make by bending?
Flexion when you pull your forearm towards your body and extension when you extend it away from your body.
What does a knee joint do?
In addition to simple flexion (bending) and extension (straightening) movements, the knee joint is designed to allow for rotation, gliding, and rolling movements.
What kind of synovial joint is formed by the first two cervical vertebrae?
The kind of synovial joint form is the hinge joint, because of its primary uniaxial range of movement (as in shaking your head "yes") There is also a small amount of side to side bending which can be done, and rotation is possible at this joint.
Will Yoga aggravate lumbar spondylosis?
Usually cervical spondylosis is aggravated by extending (bending backwards), and side-bending of the head. If you have cervical nerve irritation associated with spondylosis, then you should avoid positions of your head that increase these symptoms. Yoga activities, therefore, should be tolerated as long as you are careful with the position of your head.
What are the six primary movements that occcur at the joints between body segments?
The six primary movements that occur at the joints between body segments are flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, rotation, and circumduction. Flexion is the bending movement that decreases the angle between body parts, while extension is the opposite movement that increases the angle. Abduction is the movement away from the midline of the body, while adduction is the movement toward the midline. Rotation involves the turning or twisting movement, and circumduction is a combination of flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction that creates a circular movement.
What is flexion and rotation?
Flexion is when you flex your arms, thighs, and other muscles. Rotation is when you rotate your joints, bending or twisting you muscles.
What is the difference between the movements flexion and extension?
Flexion is the movement of your extremities bending inward Extension is when they bend outward
