Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a descriptive, observational, longitudinal, prospective study consecutively enrolling patients with non-specific neck pain and age-matched asymptomatic participants.

The investigators will register sensorimotor control variables, including active range of motion, movement speed, acceleration, smoothness of motion, head repositioning accuracy and motion coupling patterns. These variables will be recorded by means of Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensors during the following tests consecutively performed in two measuring sessions separated by 12 months: (a) kinematics of planar movements, (b) kinematics of the craniocervical flexion movement, (c) kinematics during functional tasks and (d) kinematics of task-oriented neck movements in response to visual targets.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Asymptomatic participants

Asymptomatic subjects should not present any pain in the cervical region during the last 3 months and no previous treatment for neck pain in order to be included in the study.

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensors will measure sensorimotor control variables including active range of motion, movement speed, acceleration, smoothness of motion, head repositioning accuracy and motion coupling patterns

Neck pain patients

Patients with neck pain should have an intensity of pain of at least 3 points out of 10 on a Visual Analog Scale and a neck pain duration of at least 3 months of evolution. Neck pain could be from nonspecific mechanical origin, associated with whiplash or with a previous medical diagnosis of degenerative or inflammatory alterations of the cervical spine, associated or not with headache and pain in the shoulder region or the upper limb.
