Resumen
The present study has potential applications in sport, ergonomics and clinical practice. Orientation of the head relative to the trunk may be measured in different settings using inertial sensors. This may prove important for injury prevention and for treatment of musculo-skeletal disorders affecting the neck and shoulder, both in elite and recreational athletes and in work situations. In the clinical field, this study has application for the biomechanical assessment and rehabilitation of patients with shoulder and/or cervical spine pathologies.
