Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
angular velocity and acceleration measured by the inertial sensors
while the subject is performing the head movements (Extension, flexion, axial rotation and lateral bending). Data collection will take approximately 30 minutes
electrical activity produced by the muscle measured by the EMG system
while the subject is performing the head movements (Extension, flexion, axial rotation and lateral bending). Data collection will take approximately 30 minutes
Description of the support perceived. It will be evaluated through a questionnaire which will include a series of sentences that describe the support offered by the collar. The subjects will be asked to state how much they agree with those sentences.
after the subject has performed the head movements (Extension, flexion, axial rotation and lateral bending). Answer the questionnaire will take approximately 10 minutes

Interventions
Participants will be asked to perform a series of movements of exploration of their maximum neck range of motion, including: flexion, extension, right and left lateral flexion, right and left axial rotation.
Patients will be asked to perform a series of activities of daily living (drinking, eating and washing hands).
