Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Noise2	Auditory disturbances	A sound (different from Noise 1) will be played while moving a body part through range of motion
Noise1	Auditory disturbances	A sound will be played while moving a body part through range of motion

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Range of motion	During a single test session (approximately 2hours)	Range of movement will be assessed by measuring displacement of the body part being moved (i.e. moving the head, back, arm or leg from a neutral position to end of range in flexion, extension, rotation, addiction or abduction)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Experienced pain	During a single test session (approximately 2hours)	Any potential pain during the functional tasks will be monitored using a 0-11 numeric rating scale (NRS) with 0 being no pain and 10 being worst imaginable pain
Experienced difficultness of performing movement	During a single test session (approximately 2hours)	a 6-point Likert scale going from 0 = 'no problems',; 1 = minimally difficult; 2 = somewhat difficult; 3 = fairly difficult; 4 = very difficult; 5 = unable to perform
