Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The primary study parameters will be the active range of trunk and head motion (e.g. motion in one direction), dynamic range of trunk and head motion (e.g. during functional arm tasks), maximal sEMG amplitude during movements as percentage of EMG amplitude in maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) and a trunk impairment classification score.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Secondary study parameters will be the force and/or pressure profiles as parameters for balance and stability of the trunk, and for determination of the kinetics.	—
