Can a webcam replace expensive neck sensors? new study aims to find out
NCT ID NCT07181798
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study will test whether a computer vision system using a simple camera can accurately measure how well people sense the position and movement of their neck. 74 healthy adults will perform head movements while a camera tracks their nose tip. The goal is to see if this non-invasive, low-cost method can be a reliable tool for assessing neck proprioception, which could help in diagnosing and managing neck disorders.
