What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Isometric exercisesOther
These exercises are used to increase muscle endurance, power and ROM
MobilizationOther
These exercises are used to increase ROM and used for pain reduction
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| experimental | Experimental | neck isometric exercises will be administered at for 4 weeks and will be evaluuated at baseline, 2nd and after 4 weeks of interventions Receives: Other: Isometric exercises |
| control | Active comparator | cervical mobilization will be administered at for 4 weeks and will be evaluuated at baseline, 2nd and after 4 weeks of interventions Receives: Other: Mobilization |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Numeric Pain Rating Scale
0 means no pain and 10 means worst pain ever
Measured: 4 weeks
Range of motion
Goniometer will be used to assess the ranges. lower values means more limited ROM and more values means normal
Measured: 4 weeks
