Brief Summary

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

The goal of this randomized controlled study is to assess the short term effect of wearing a ties on musculoskeletal system. In this scope viscoelastic properties and the mechanosensitivity of the muscles, and cervical range of motion will be measured. In addition to these measurements activity limitation due to wearing a tie and trunk mobility will be assessed.

Detailed Description

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

A total of at least 54 volunteers who satisfies the eligibility criteria of the study will be recruited to the study. Following to the recruitment process participants will be randomly assigned to the one of the two groups. Participants in the control group will go on to their daily activities. Participants in the study group will be asked to wear a tie for one working day.
