Sensorimotor Control in People With and Without Neck Pain
Analysis of Sensorimotor Control in People With and Without Neck Pain Using Inertial Sensor Technology: Study Protocol for a Longitudinal Prospective Observational Study
This is a descriptive, observational, longitudinal, prospective study consecutively enrolling patients with non-specific neck pain and age-matched asymptomatic participants.
The investigators will register sensorimotor control variables, including active range of motion, movement speed, acceleration, smoothness of motion, head repositioning accuracy and motion coupling patterns. These variables will be recorded by means of Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensors during the following tests consecutively performed in two measuring sessions separated by 12 months: (a) kinematics of planar movements, (b) kinematics of the craniocervical flexion movement, (c) kinematics during functional tasks and (d) kinematics of task-oriented neck movements in response to visual targets.

介入・治療 |
|---|---|
|
Asymptomatic participants
Asymptomatic subjects should not present any pain in the cervical region during the last 3 months and no previous treatment for neck pain in order to be included in the study.
|
Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensors will measure sensorimotor control variables including active range of motion, movement speed, acceleration, smoothness of motion, head repositioning accuracy and motion coupling patterns
|
|
Neck pain patients
Patients with neck pain should have an intensity of pain of at least 3 points out of 10 on a Visual Analog Scale and a neck pain duration of at least 3 months of evolution.
Neck pain could be from nonspecific mechanical origin, associated with whiplash or with a previous medical diagnosis of degenerative or inflammatory alterations of the cervical spine, associated or not with headache and pain in the shoulder region or the upper limb.

メジャーの説明 |
時間枠 |

|
Physical activity level
時間枠:1 year
|
Measured using the short version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ).
The score of the scale is expressed in MET level x minutes of activity/day x days per week.
Levels of 3.3 METs are considered light, 4.0 METs are moderate and 8.0 METs are vigorous.

|
Fear of movement and injury
時間枠:1 year
|
Measured using the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK-11).
It consists of 11 questions scored from 1 to 4. Therefore, a score of 11 is the lowest possible level of kinesiphobia, while 44 is the highest.
|
1 year
|
|
Pain-related fear-avoidance
時間枠:1 year
|
Measured using the Fear Avoidance Components Scale (FACS).
It has 20 itemsmeasured on a 6-point Likert scale for total possible score of 100 and the lowest possible score of 0. Higher scores indicate higher levels of fear avoidance.
