Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (5)
Change in muscle activity assessed by neck muscle electromyography
Baseline and 2 minutes after intervention
Change in 3D neck movement assessed with a 10 camera Vicon system
Baseline and 2 minutes after intervention
Change in sympathetic nervous system activity assessed by measuring right hand finger temperature
Measurement unit: degrees celsius
Baseline for 2 minutes immediately before intervention, during intervention (15 minutes) and for 2 minutes immediately after intervention
Change in sympathetic nervous system activity assessed by measuring right hand finger galvanic response
Measurement unit: microsiemens
Baseline for 2 minutes immediately before intervention, during intervention (15 minutes) and for 2 minutes immediately after intervention
Global rating of change scale
Baseline and 10 minutes after intervention
