简要总结
This study is a within-subjects design; therefore, the participant will serve as their own control. Participants will be included in the study if they have neck pain or disability defined by a score of more than 14 on the Neck Disability Index. They will be excluded if they have any diagnosed disc pathology. A mask-associated pain questionnaire will be completed by the participants prior to the study to determine their perceived effect of mask-wearing on neck pain. This questionnaire is adapted from the HAPPE study on mask-associated headache pain. A baseline pain rating will be recorded a numerical pain scale. Next, active cervical range of motion will be measured, three times in each direction to be averaged. A pain rating will be recorded for pain during cervical motion. Kinesio® Tape will be applied to activate the cervical extensor muscles. The participant will sit with the tape on for 20 minutes, then active cervical range of motion and pain will be recored again.
