时间窗: 1-3 months
The pressure pain Algometer is a device that measures the pain threshold of the subjects.
Neck Pain and Disability Questionnaire (NDI)
时间窗: 1-3 months
Neck Pain and Disability is a questionnaire that measures neck pain and disabilities in subjects. Each question in the questionnaire will explained in detail and the subject will be asked to select one sentence out of six that best describes their function, a higher score indicates a great loss of function.
