This data descriptor presents a comprehensive and replicable dataset and method for calculating the cervical range of motion (CROM) utilizing quaternion-based orientation analysis from Delsys inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensors. This study was conducted with 14 participants and analyzed 504 cervical movements in the Sagittal, Frontal and Horizontal planes. Validated against a Universal Goniometer and tested for reliability and reproducibility.

Exercise, particularly aerobic activities, has been shown to mitigate neuroinflammatory processes, promote neuronal regeneration, facilitate recovery from cerebral trauma, and reduce the risk of neurodegenerative diseases. Among neurological conditions, traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the most common in individuals under 50, with 80-90 % of cases categorized as mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).

In extreme cases, exposure to hyperbaric oxygen can develop central nervous system oxygen toxicity (CNS-OT), which leads to seizures and eventually death. CNS-OT is caused by neuronal hyperactivity due to high oxygen levels, potentially damaging brain cells including the blood-brain barrier (BBB).
