简要总结
The aim of this present study is to compare the radio-clinic correlation between the ability to hold the head and neck (by inertial sensor) and the changes in neck muscles activity (by functional magnetic resonance imaging) during the cervical extensor endurance test between an asymptomatic population and one suffering from chronic neck pain.

结局指标
主要结局
Change of Cervical muscles metabolism by the transverse relaxation time (T2) values in milliseconds
时间窗: At baseline and after the endurance test, to assess the change of T2 values
The MRI, after identifying the region of interest for each muscle, will be used to calculate a transverse relaxation time (T2) value (in milliseconds) for each muscle at two assessment points: before and after the cervical extensor endurance test. The aim is to evaluate the changes in T2 values induced by each muscle\&#39;s contribution during the endurance test. Each MRI scan will last 11 minutes.
Head and neck movements in degrees or millimetres during the cervical extensor endurance test.
时间窗: At baseline (just after the first MRI)
The inertial sensor will monitor the head and neck movements during the entire duration of the Cervical Extensor Endurance Test, in the three planes of space for cervical movements and for cranio-cervical flexion/extension movement. The maximal duration of 3 minutes of the cervical extensor endurance test
次要结局
- Tandem stand balance test in seconds(During the 7 days following the MRI)
- Cervical joint position sense error test in millimetres(During the 7 days following the MRI)
- Head lift test in seconds(During the 7 days following the MRI)
- Cranio-cervical flexion test in mmHg(During the 7 days following the MRI)
- Endurance in cranio-cervical flexion test (in percent)(During the 7 days following the MRI)
