Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Average range of motion of cervical spine. Timepoint: Variable is measured in one session and after performing the relevant test. Method of measurement: Using the inertial measurement unit tool to measure the range of motion of the cervical spine, modules are inertial measurement units include three three-axis gyroscope sensors, three-axis accelerometer and three-axis magnetometer, which respectively measure angular velocity, acceleration and magnetic field. These modules are placed on the body parts using straps to measure the movements of each body part. The position of the sensor to measure the range of motion of the cervical spine in our study is considered forehead. Also, another module is placed on the trunk at the level of the eighth thoracic vertebra as a reference module.;Eye-hand/head coordination. Timepoint: Variable is measured in one session and after performing the relevant test. Method of measurement: Minnesota Manual Dexterity Test: It consists of 60 cylindrical discs, one side of which is red and the other side is black, as well as a black plastic board, with dimensions of 85.4 centimeter in length, 22.8 centimeter in width and 0/5 centimeter depth, in which holes with 15x4 pattern are created. This test consists of two sub-set tests called the Placing test (use of the dominant hand) and the Turning test (simultaneous use of both hands). In this study, the Placing test is used.;Eye-hand/head coordination. Timepoint: Variable is measured in one session and after performing the relevant test. Method of measurement: Nine Hole Peg Test : It consists of a square plate with 9 holes that are placed in the center of the holes at a distance of 2.3 centimeter from each other. The depth of each hole is 1.3 centimeter and the length of its radius is 2.3 centimeter. There is also a holder to hold the pins.;Reaction time. Timepoint: Variable is measured in one session and after performing the relevant test. Method of measurement: Psychology Experimental Building
