Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Defining the cervical spines* physiological motion pattern by analysing the normal sequence of segmental contributions in the lower cervical spine (C4-C5 followed by C5-C6, and then C6-C7) during the second half of extension in asymptomatic participants between 55 and 70 years of age.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Determine sROM of C4-C5, C5-C6, and C6-C7 by analysing the flexion and extension cinematographic recordings in asymptomatic participants between 55 and 70 years of age.	—
