Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Rehabilitation Technology
  • Clinical Assessment

Background:

  • Reduced cervical range of motion (ROM) and movement velocity are common in neck pain.
  • Objective assessment is crucial for identifying dysfunction, tailoring interventions, and evaluating treatment efficacy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the concurrent validity of a novel virtual reality (VR) technology for assessing cervical ROM and movement velocity.
  • To compare VR-based measurements against a gold-standard 3D optical motion capture system.

Main Methods:

  • A quantitative cross-sectional study involving 20 participants (13 healthy, 7 with neck pain).
  • Assessment of cervical ROM (rotation, flexion, extension, lateral flexion, diagonal) and velocity (fast rotation) using VR and 3D optical motion capture.

Main Results:

  • Excellent correlations (ICC > 0.95) were found between VR and optical systems for both cervical ROM and velocity.
  • Mean biases were clinically acceptable: ≤ 2.1° for ROM, <12°/s for maximum velocity, and ≤3.0°/s for mean velocity.

Conclusions:

  • VR technology demonstrates high concurrent validity for measuring cervical ROM and velocity.
  • VR is a feasible and useful tool for objective clinical assessment of cervical kinematics, supporting personalized treatment and evaluation.
