Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Mobility of the cervical spine (flexion/extension/rotation/lateral flexion) measured in degrees. 1) Participants who meet the inclusion criteria are contacted via email or in person and informed about the planned study. 2) Optical markers are placed on the head of each participant using a headband. 3) Using multiple cameras and a digital image correlation system (Limess Meßtechnik und Software GmbH, Krefeld, Germany; ISTRA 4D Dantec Dynamics A/S, Skovlunde, Denmark), the maximum active flexion, extension, rotation, and lateral bending to the right and left are measured under the following conditions: - without orthosis - with soft orthosis - with semi-rigid orthosis - with rigid orthosis	—
