We are looking for participants for a research study to evaluate the effect of a head-and-neck protection system on neck strength and muscle activity.
Participation in the study is completely voluntary. It will involve answering survey questions, having sensors placed on your neck, maintaining a constant load against gravity, and exerting to generate your maximum neck strength against resistance while wearing a helmet and associated devices. Before you can be tested, you must first meet a set of criteria to ensure your safety and wellbeing throughout the course of this study. For more information, please contact Anita Vasavada (vasavada@wsu.edu; 509-335-7533) or visit go.wsu.edu/neckstrength.
Participation is completely voluntary. You will need to make two visits to the lab a week apart, each visit lasting approximately two hours, and you will be able to stop and withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason. You will receive $50 in Visa gift cards at the completion of the study. This study (Effect of a Head-And-Neck Protection System on Neck Strength and Muscle Activity, IRB #20566) was approved for human subject participation by the Washington State University Institutional Review Board.
