Incorporating wearable sensors allows for accurate and measurable assessment of movement. The aim of this study was to determine the ability of wearable sensors and data processing algorithms to discern motion restrictions during activities of daily living. Accelerometer data was collected with wearable sensors from 10 healthy adults (age 39.5 \u00b1 12.47) as they performed daily living simulated tasks: coin pick up (pitch plane task), don\/doff jacket (yaw plane task), self-paced community ambulation task [CAT] (pitch and yaw plane task) without and with a rigid cervical collar. Paired t-tests were used to discern differences between non-restricted (no collared) performance and restricted (collared) performance of tasks. Significant differences in head rotational velocity (jacket p = 0.03, CAT-pitch p &lt; 0.001, CAT-yaw p &lt; 0.001), head rotational amplitude (coin p = 0.03, CAT-pitch p &lt; 0.001, CAT-yaw p &lt; 0.001), trunk rotational amplitude (jacket p = 0.01, CAT-yaw p = 0.005), and head\u2013trunk coupling (jacket p = 0.007, CAT-yaw p = 0.003) were captured by wearable sensors between the two conditions. Alterations in turning movement were detected at the head and trunk during daily living tasks. These results support the ecological validity of using wearable sensors to quantify movement alterations during real-world scenarios.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22083071","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,19]],"date-time":"2022-04-19T02:39:31Z","timestamp":1650335971000},"page":"3071","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Head and Trunk Kinematics during Activities of Daily Living with and without Mechanical Restriction of Cervical Motion"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2116-1447","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Angela R.","family":"Weston","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Therapy and Athletic Training, University of Utah, 520 Wakara Way, Salt Lake City, UT 84108, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Brian J.","family":"Loyd","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Sciences, University of Montana, 32 Campus Dr., Missoula, MT 59812, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1862-4773","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carolyn","family":"Taylor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics, University of Utah, 590 Wakara Way, Salt Lake City, UT 84108, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carrie","family":"Hoppes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Army Baylor University Doctoral Program in Physical Therapy, U.S. Army Medical Center of Excellence, 3630 Stanley Road, San Antonio, TX 78234, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8553-7867","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Leland E.","family":"Dibble","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Therapy and Athletic Training, University of Utah, 520 Wakara Way, Salt Lake City, UT 84108, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1105","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1532-5415.1990.tb01373.x","article-title":"An Objective Measure of Physical Function of Elderly Outpatients: The Physical Performance Test","volume":"38","author":"Reuben","year":"1990","journal-title":"J.
