Clinical Trial Summary

This study there are any associations between objective and subjective outcome measures, measuring the cervical range of motion and if the restriction matter to the patient.

Description:

Objective and subjective outcome measures are frequently used assessments in clinical practice.

The investigators will use different subjective and objective outcome measures to evaluate any possible associations, as well as to investigate if restrictions of movement matters to patients.

Additionally to the assessments tools the investigators will use interviews to extend the scope.
