Head Movement in Everyday Life
Conditions
Interventions
Group 1: Healthy participants aged 18 to 35 (N=20).
All parameters are measured during a single session.
Participants perform standardized tasks based on everyday situations, including head movements

Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: - German as a native language or adequate knowledge of German - Sufficient vision (corrected with contact lenses or glasses if necessary)
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: - Pre-existing neurological/vestibular conditions: Known disorders of the sense of balance, dizziness, or diagnosed neurological conditions - Acute injuries: Injuries or surgeries involving the musculoskeletal system (cervical spine, hip, knee) that impair natural gait or head motor function - Substance-related factors: Use of medications that affect reaction time or motor function
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Consistency between the ear-worn sensors and the optoelectronic reference system with regard to basic head kinematic parameters, such as angular velocity and acceleration amplitudes, across various movement tasks. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Identification and differentiation of task-specific head kinematic features such as eye movements, speech, and walking. - Validity of motion parameters extracted from sensor data (e.g., head angle, step speed) compared to the gold standard. - Reliability of measurements under comparable movement conditions. - Temporally precise detection of specific movement events and calculation of parameters derived from them. - Investigation of the sensor system’s robustness against everyday artifacts. | — |
