Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Asymptomatic subjects will be recruited to this study. Superficial electromyography of the Sternocleidomastoid, Range of Motion (ROM) and Cranio-Cervical Flexion Test (CCFT) will be measured before, immediately after change in focus of attention, 2 days after training under a particular focus of attention, and 7 days after training the task under the same focus of attention.

Subjects will be randomized into three groups: Internal focus of attention, external focus of attention and control group.

Internal Focus of Attention

30 subjects will be randomized to this arm. Only internal focus of attention feedback instructions will be given during the execution and training performing the Cranio-Cervical Flexion Test. The subjects allocated to this arm will not be allowed to use the visual feedback traditionally provided during the Cranio-cervical Flexion Test.
