Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |

| Roland-Morris Questionnaire | 1st day | Roland-Morris Questionnaire is a self-administered disability measure in which greater levels of disability are reflected by higher numbers on a 24-point scale. |
| Neck Disability Index | 1st day | Neck Disability Index contains total 50 scores. 5 marks for each statement. If the response is missing then the score will not be conducted or included in total marks. |
