Muscle stiffness measured by Myotonometry
| Day1,Day 2 and Day7 |
| Muscle stiffness (change)- Palpation | Muscle palpation: Reported using a 5-point Likert: 1 = very low muscle stiffness and 5 = very high muscle stiffness | Day1,Day 2 and Day7 |
| Day1,Day 2 and Day7 |
| Neck disability | The NDI is questionnaire investigating neck pain and disability: Scores range from 0 to 50. Higher score represent worse disability | Day1,Day 2 and Day7 |
| Shoulder disability | SPADI is a 13-item questionnaire investigating shoulder pain and disability: Scores range from 0 to 130. Higher score represent worse disability | Day1,Day 2 and Day7 |
