简要总结
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a virtual reality (VR)-based assessment system in identifying clinical, physical, and functional impairments related to neck pain and musculoskeletal disorders (NPMSDs) among dentists. Forty dentists with neck pain were assessed using a structured protocol including sociodemographic data collection, the Neck Disability Index, VR-based measurements of head posture and cervical motion (with and without pain), and muscle strength testing via a digital dynamometer. The study investigates the predictive value of VR-derived parameters-such as head alignment, range of motion, and movement time and degree-with regard to pain and functional status. Findings suggest that virtual reality can serve as an objective, non-invasive tool for evaluating cervical spine health in clinical settings.

Neck Disability index
时间窗: Baseline (single time)
The Neck Disability Index is a ten-item self-reported questionnaire describing daily life, pain, and concentration. Each item is rated on a score from 0-5, with 0 indicating no disability and 5 indicating extreme disability. To be clinically meaningful, there must be a minimum clinically important difference (MCID) of 5 points, at least, from a total of 50 (Table 3.2). Many studies have confirmed that the NDI has a high degree of validity and reliability. The NDI has also been used as an outcome measure in a number of studies involving the treatment of neck pain and patients with whiplash injury
