Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Joint Position Sense. This test assesses the ability to relocate the head to its natural posture, and is a test of cervical proprioception. It consists of a visual measurement of error in moving the head to the initial neutral position after active cervical rotation. If the average difference between the initial and final position is equivalent to an error of 4.5 degrees, it is considered abnormal and the subject could be included in the study.
Exclusion Criteria
* Cervical spine surgery.
* Have received physical therapy treatment six weeks prior to data collection.
* Being involved in an on-going medico-legal dispute.
