The Effect of Auditory Disturbances on Human Movement

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This study sets out to investigate the potential effect of auditory disturbances on human movement

Detailed Description
-----------------
Clinicians routinely investigate/test human movement but if/how this is effect by auditory disturbances is unclear. This study sets out to investigate the impact of auditory disturbances on human movement.

Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Active Comparator: Noise1<br>A sound will be played while moving a body part through range of motion | Device: Auditory disturbances<br>* A sound will be played from a portable device (smartphone) during movement<br>|
| Active Comparator: Noise2<br>A sound (different from Noise 1) will be played while moving a body part through range of motion | Device: Auditory disturbances<br>* A sound will be played from a portable device (smartphone) during movement<br>|
| No Intervention: No noise<br>No sound will be played while moving a body part through range of motion | |

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Range of motion | Range of movement will be assessed by measuring displacement of the body part being moved (i.e. moving the head, back, arm or leg from a neutral position to end of range in flexion, extension, rotation, addiction or abduction) | During a single test session (approximately 2hours) | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Experienced pain | Any potential pain during the functional tasks will be monitored using a 0-11 numeric rating scale (NRS) with 0 being no pain and 10 being worst imaginable pain | During a single test session (approximately 2hours) | 
| Experienced difficultness of performing movement | a 6-point Likert scale going from 0 = 'no problems', 1 = minimally difficult; 2 = somewhat difficult; 3 = fairly difficult; 4 = very difficult; 5 = unable to perform | During a single test session (approximately 2hours) |
