Cohorts and Interventions
Group / Cohort |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Dynamic cervical stability
The participant is asked to move the head in 6 directions in a sitting position and 30° leaning backward sitting position; lateral flexion (left / right), flexion, extension, and rotation (left / right). Results are to be taken for each direction and random at each axial load-level (0 kg, 1kg, 2 kg, and 3 kg). In total 24 measurements. The duration of all measurement will be 60 minutes. |
With a helmet with Velcro fastener we will add additional weight to produce axial load on the cervical spine
|
Cervical Stiffness
The participant is asked to move the head in 4 directions; flexion, extension, and rotation (left / right).
Joint-Position Error measurements will be executed in neutral sitting position.
Additionally, stiffness will be measured in neutral sitting position and neutral sitting position with 45° cervical flexion.
All measurements will be performed with 0 kg and 3 kg axal loading.
In total 18 measurements.The duration of all measurement will be 60 minutes.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change of neck joint-position error between differnent weight conditions
Time Frame: 20 minutes group cervical stiffness
|
Joint-position error will be will be assessed with Sensomove.
It consists of the 3D senscoordination sensor, an adjustable headband, and basic software for motion feedback of head movements.
The change of Joint-Position Error with and without additional axial load will be assessed.
|
20 minutes group cervical stiffness
|
Change of neck joint-position error between two sitting positions
Time Frame: 20 minutes group Dynamic cervical stability
|
Joint-position error will be will be assessed with Sensomove It consists of the 3D senscoordination sensor, an adjustable headband, and basic software for motion feedback of head movements.
The change of Joint-Position Error with axial load (3kg) between two sitting positions will be assessed.
|
20 minutes group Dynamic cervical stability
|
Change of neck range of motion between different weight conditions
Time Frame: 20 minutes group cervical stiffness
|
Range of motion will be will be assessed with Sensomove It consists of the 3D senscoordination sensor, an adjustable headband, and basic software for motion feedback of head movements.
The change of Rage of motion with and without additional axial load will be assessed.
|
20 minutes group cervical stiffness
|
Change of spinal stiffness between different sitting positions and loading conditions
Time Frame: 20 minutes group cervical stiffness
|
The device measures tissue compliance according to the concept of impulse-response.
A force of exact 20 Newton will be applied from the device to the process spinous.
The expected impulse-response (result) will be between 20 Newton and 40 Newton.
The change of spinal stiffness due sitting position and loading will be assessed.
|
20 minutes group cervical stiffness

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Pain during measuring
Time Frame: 2 minutes
|
The visual analogue scale will be used to quantify pain, if any of the measurements is painful.
The participant is asked to rate his pain intensity on a straight line (100mm) with two endpoints.
|
2 minutes
|
Self-administered neck mobility
Time Frame: 4 minutes
|
Self-administered neck mobility questionnaire is a self-administered questionnaire that uses visual analog scales to measure pain-free active rage of motion for all neck movements.
The patient is asked to place a mark on a 100 mm line (0 mm = "no movement possible" and 100 mm = "as far as possible").
The total score is the sum of the individual scores (min.
score (600) = no restrictions and max.
score (0) = total restriction)
|
4 minutes
|
Neck Disability Index
Time Frame: 4 minutes
|
The Neck Disability Index is a self-report questionnaire with 10-items: pain intensity, personal care, lifting, work, headaches, concentration, sleeping, driving, reading, and recreation.
The response to each item is rated on a 6-point scale from 0 (no disability) to 5 (complete disability).
The numeric responses for each item are summed for a total score ranging between 0 and 50.
