Impact of Dress Shirt Weight on Neck Movement in Healthy Women
Effects of Weight of Dress Shirts on Arthrokinematics of Cervical Spine and Shoulders in Healthy Females Using Motion Capture Analysis: A Pilot Study
This study tests how different styles of dress shirts affect neck and shoulder movement in healthy women aged 18-45 to see if certain designs can help with better mobility and spinal health.

What this trial studies
This pilot clinical trial investigates how different designs of dress shirts affect the movement of the cervical spine and shoulder joints in healthy females aged 18-45 with a BMI between 18 and 40. Participants will wear two types of shirts, one with a customized design and another with a simple design, while their movements are recorded using high-speed cameras. The study aims to identify biomechanical impacts of shirt design on spinal health, potentially leading to better clothing designs that promote mobility and prevent musculoskeletal issues.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are healthy females aged 18-45 with a BMI between 18 and 40.
Not a fit: Patients with a history of cervical spine injuries, surgeries, or other significant musculoskeletal conditions may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved shirt designs that enhance comfort and reduce the risk of musculoskeletal problems in women.
How similar studies have performed: While the specific focus on dress shirt design is novel, similar studies have shown that clothing can impact biomechanics and musculoskeletal health.
