• 1 other identifier: FPTBSUREC/0505/2325
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 80
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

This study aims to investigate the association between NDI categories (None, Mild, Moderate, Severe) and ROM in six directions: flexion, extension, right and left side bending, and right and left rotation. Additionally, it seeks to identify which movements are most affected by neck disability and explore their predictive value for overall ROM changes.

Conditions
