A novel use of inertial sensors to measure the craniocervical flexion range of motion associated to the craniocervical flexion test: an observational study

Abstract: Background The craniocervical flexion test (CCFT) is recommended when examining patients with neck pain related conditions and as a deep cervical retraining exercise option. During the execution of the CCFT the examiner should visually assess that the amount of craniocervical flexion range of motion (ROM) progressively increases. However, this task is very subjective. The use of inertial wearable sensors may be a user-friendly option to measure and objectively monitor the ROM. The objectives of our study were … Show more

“…Synchronizing multiple IMU devices can operate as a wireless body area network (WBAN) to support detailed biomechanical model development and capture more complex kinematic movement data compared to a single IMU. An IMU has a large range of applications, for example, distinguishing postural differences between individuals [37], or home-based monitoring during rehabilitation to enhance patient compliance and therefore improve functional recovery [38] An inertial sensor is mostly reliable and valid for measuring posture [37,[39][40][41]. However, the validity of an inertial sensor is largely dependent on the environment and task performed.…”

“…Sensorimotor control variables will be recorded by means of small (4 cm × 4 cm×8 cm), light (<200 g) inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensors (Werium Solutions, Madrid, Spain), which integrate a three-dimensional accelerometer, a gyroscope and a magnetometer. This inertial sensor technology has previously shown good or excellent intrarater and inter-rater reliability in the measurement of cervical range of motion 21 22…”

“…28 The FACS includes 20 items, scored on a 6-point Likert scale, for a total score range from 0 to 100. Total scores indicate one of the following severity levels: subclinical (0-20); mild (21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40); moderate (41-60); severe (61-80) and extreme (81-100).…”

“…Para valorar la fuerza y resistencia de los flexores craneocervicales profundos, es decir, el largo de la cabeza y el largo del cuello, se utilizó el test de flexión craneocervical, pues se recomienda en una gran variedad de artículos y guías clínicas (De Araujo et al, 2020;Pérez-Fernández et al, 2020). Como ya se ha explicado, este se lleva a cabo utilizando un esfigmomanómetro (Stabilizer Pressure Biofeedback, Chattanooga Group) situado bajo la nuca del examinado que se encuentra en decúbito supino y preinflado hasta 20mm Hg.…”

“…Pues afecta aproximadamente a 300 millones de personas en el mundo, siendo una de las principales causas de discapacidad (James et al, 2018). Presenta una prevalencia anual media cercana al 26%, con mayor incidencia en mujeres y en una población de entre 35 a 49 años (Hoy et al, 2010), llegándose a estimar que la mitad de la población mundial sufrirá al menos un episodio de dolor de cuello a lo largo de su vida (Pérez-Fernández et al, 2020). Además no presenta un pronóstico de recuperación muy esperanzador, pues entre el 50% y el 75% de las personas que han sufrido dolor de cuello, volverán a experimentar síntomas similares en un plazo de uno a cinco años más tarde (De Araujo et al, 2020;Pierobon et al, 2017;Tsang et al, 2021).…”
