Primary | Changes in self-reported neck pain: Numeric Rating Scale | Measured by the Numeric Rating Scale (min 0-max 10, better outcome 0 worst outcome 10) | Pre-test 1 (week 0), Pre-test 2 (week 4) and Post-test (week 10) | |
Primary | Changes in neck disability | Measured by the Neck Disability Index (10-item questionnaire, each item scored from 0 to 5, result expressed as percentage, better outcome 0 worst outcome 100%) | Pre-test 1 (week 0), Pre-test 2 (week 4) and Post-test (week 10) | |
Secondary | Changes in deep neck flexors function | Measured by the craniocervical flexion test with a pressure biofeedback unit (higher pressure represents better outcome) | Pre-test 1 (week 0), Pre-test 2 (week 4) and Post-test (week 10) | |
Secondary | Changes in cervical muscle endurance | Measured using a stopwatch for the successful time holding the head in cervical flexion and extension positions (longer time represent better outcome) | Pre-test 1 (week 0), Pre-test 2 (week 4) and Post-test (week 10) | |
Secondary | Changes in cervical joint position sense | Measured by the cervcal joint reposition error with a laser pointer (short distance represent better outcome) | Pre-test 1 (week 0), Pre-test 2 (week 4) and Post-test (week 10) | |
Secondary | Changes in upper body posture | Evaluated by the photographic method | Pre-test 1 (week 0), Pre-test 2 (week 4) and Post-test (week 10) |
