简要总结
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.
详细描述
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.

研究组 & 干预措施
Control Group
In this group, participants will go on their daily activities. No additional intervention will be applied to the participants in this group.
Study Group
In this group, participants will wear a tie during one office working day
干预措施: Wearing a tie (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
The Change in the Viscoelastic Properties of the Muscles
时间窗: Change from baseline pain at eight hours and one day
The effect of wearing a tie on the viscoelastic properties of participants' upper trapezius, cervical, thoracic, and lumbar paravertebral muscles will be measured using the myotonometer (MyotonPRO). Tonus measurement of the trapezius muscle will be taken from the upper, middle and lower part of the muscle. Evaluation of cervical muscle tone will be conducted 2 cm to the right and left of the C4 spinous process. The measurement will be taken on the semispinalis capitis muscle while the individual lies face down on the treatment bed. Muscle tone measurements for the thoracic and lumbar regions will be taken on the paravertebral muscles at the T3, T7, T11, L1 and L4 levels.
The Change in the Pressure Pain Threshold of the Spine and Upper Trapezius
时间窗: Change from baseline mechanosensitivity at eight hours and one day
The potential impact of wearing a tie on individuals' pain thresholds will be evaluated using an analog algometer. Pain threshold measurements will be taken at the upper trapezius muscle, C6, T6, and L4 vertebral spinous processes. The algometer will be positioned perpendicular to the measurement areas. Three measurements will be taken for each region, with a half-minute interval between measurements. The average of the three measurements will be calculated and recorded. A change of 20-25% in the algometric measurement values will be considered significant.
Cervical Range of Motion
时间窗: Change from baseline cervical range of motion at immediate, eight hours and one day
The effect of wearing a tie on participants' cervical range of motion will be measured using a 10-inch standard manual goniometer. For measuring cervical flexion and extension range of motion, the pivot point of the goniometer will be placed at the external auditory meatus. The fixed arm of the goniometer will be held vertically, and the moving arm will follow along the base of the nostrils. To measure cervical rotation range of motion, measurements will be taken from behind the participants. The pivot point of the goniometer will be placed at the vertex, while the fixed arm will be kept parallel to the acromion and the moving arm will follow along with their nose. Lateral flexion range of motion will be taken in front of the participants. The pivot point of the goniometer will be placed over the sternal notch, with its fixed arm parallel to the acromion and its moving arm will follow along tip of the participants' nose. Each range of motion measurement will be performed three times.
次要结局
- Global Rating of Change(Change from baseline global rating of change at eight hours)
- Activity Limitation(Change from baseline activity limitation at eight hours)
- Trunk Lateral Bending Mobility(Change from baseline cervical range of motion at immediate, eight hours and one day)
- Neck Circumference(At baseline)
- Trunk Forward Bending Mobility(Change from baseline cervical range of motion at immediate, eight hours and one day)
