About this study
Official title: Effects of Kendall Exercise VS Gong's Mobilization on Pain, Range of Motion, Function, and Strength in Cases With Upper Cross Syndrome
The effectiveness of kendall exercise vs. gong's mobilization for alleviating pain with improvment in range of motion, function and strength in cases with upper cross syndrome, assessed by dividing 44 patinets in two groups as Group A (n=22) was treated with Kendall exercises and Group B (n=22) managed by Gong's mobilization. VAS, NDI, SPADI, Goniometer and Dyanometer were used for assessing primary and secondary outcomes in patients.
- Conditions
- Syndrome, Down
- Being tested
- Gong's mobilization, Kendall Exercise

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Gong's mobilizationCombination product
increases the range of motion for shoulder medial rotation by allowing shoulder medial rotation with the humeral head in a normal position against the glenoid cavity of the scapula
Kendall ExerciseOther
The Kendall exercise methods were as follows: Strengthening the deep cervical flexors, lying flat on the back with the chin down and then lifting the head and holding this position for 2-8 seconds to strengthen deep cervical flexors
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Gong's mobilization | Experimental | Not described Receives: Combination Product: Gong's mobilization |
| Kendall Exercise | Other | Not described Receives: Other: Kendall Exercise |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Visual Aanalogue scale
A tool used to help a person rate the intensity of certain sensations and feelings, such as pain. The visual analog scale for pain is a straight line with one end meaning no pain and the other end meaning the worst pain imaginable. A patient marks a point on the line that matches the amount of pain he or she feels.
Measured: 12 Months
Range of motion
Range of motion of cervical spian and shoudler joint measured using a goniometer
Measured: 12 months

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Visual Aanalogue scale (time frame: 12 Months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
