Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Outcomes on the LFT and FRT of all manual therapists in terms of upper cervical restriction (yes/no) and indication for treatment (yes/no). Objectively measured degrees of motion towards the same directions, are measured by a 3D kinematic analysis system and used as golden standard.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Parents provide information on characteristics of the infants, the pregnancy and delivery. Posture and movement are being observed by the researcher.	—
