Real-time Ultrasound Imaging as Feedback for Deep Cervical Extensors Activation

NCT04201483 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: PHASE2/PHASE3 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30

Last updated 2019-12-17

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of this study will be to determine the value of adding real-time ultrasound imaging (RUSI) as an external feedback tool for teaching the contraction of the deep cervical extensors (DCE) in healthy subjects. The potential benefit of RUSI to facilitate activation of the DCE during a specific motor task as well as the retention capacity of this motor task after a short period of training will be investigated

Conditions

  • Neck Disorder

Interventions

OTHER

DCE without RUSI feedback

Participants assigned to this group will perform an exercise known to selectively activate the semispinalis cervicis muscle

OTHER

DCE + RUSI feedback about performance

Participants in this group will perform the same exercise as the DCE group to selectively activate the semispinalis cervicis muscle but receiving RUSI feedback about correct performance
