Summary

The overall goal of this project is to develop sensitive and objective clinical research tools for the assessment of head-neck motor control. In order to accomplish this goal, the investigators aim to quantify changes in head-neck motor control before and after osteopathic manipulative treatment. The investigators hypothesize that head-neck motor control will improve in neck pain participants after 4-weeks of treatment. Additionally, the investigators will compare position and force head-neck motor control between healthy controls and neck pain patients. The investigators hypothesize that baseline tests of position and force head-neck motor control will be better in healthy individuals than neck pain patients.
