Clinical outcomes used for measurement of treatment effect on muscle strategy, function and treatment modifiers

Test description Purpose
The craniocervical flexion test [50], measured with biopressure feedback transducer (range22-30 mmHg) To test changed neuromuscular control of the neck

Neck joint position error test [51,52], measured with a laser pointing at a target in cm To test change in neck positioning sense

Gaze stability test [17,53] measured positive when provoking symptoms as dizziness, nausea or changes in vision or an inability to maintain focus To test change in head and eye coordination

Cervical range of movement [54], measured with an inclinometer in degrees To test change of neck mobility

Mechanical allodynia [55-57] measured with Pressure Pain Threshold (PPT) transducer in selected standardised tender points in different body regions To test for potential treatment modifiers
