简要总结
This study aims to evaluate how accurate and reliable two wearable sensor systems (inertial measurement units or IMUs) and a goniometer are in measuring cervical spine (neck) motion. Healthy adult volunteers will be asked to perform simple head movements in different directions while being assessed using the devices. The goal is to compare how closely these tools agree with each other and how consistently they record motion across repeated tests. This information will help determine whether the sensors are suitable for use in clinical settings to assess neck movement in future patient populations.
详细描述
This interventional validation study will assess the concurrent validity and test-retest reliability of two inertial measurement unit (IMU) systems (Xsens DOT and Trigno Avanti) and a universal goniometer in measuring multi-planar cervical motion. A within-subject design will be used, with participants performing standardized active cervical range of motion (AROM) tasks in flexion, extension, lateral flexion, and rotation. All measurements will be conducted in a biomechanics lab setting under controlled conditions.
Each participant will undergo three testing sessions:
Familiarization session (optional)
Test session 1
Test session 2

结局指标
主要结局
Agreement in Cervical Range of Motion between IMUs and Goniometer
时间窗: Day 1 (single-session assessment)
Assessment of the validity of two inertial measurement units (Xsens DOT and Trigno Avanti) compared to a universal goniometer in measuring active cervical spine range of motion across flexion/extension, lateral flexion, and axial rotation using Bland-Altman analysis.
Test-Retest Reliability of IMU Systems in Cervical Range of Motion
时间窗: Day 1 (two repeated assessments within same session)
Evaluation of intra-session and inter-session test-retest reliability of Xsens DOT and Trigno Avanti inertial sensors in measuring active cervical range of motion (CROM) across three planes (flexion/extension, lateral flexion, rotation). Reliability will be quantified using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) and standard error of measurement (SEM).
