Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (9)
Visual Analog Scale (PAIN)
changes from baseline. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is a 10 cm horizontal line, with 0 presenting No pain and 10 representing Worst Pain.
4 weeks
ROM of Cervical spine (Flexion)
changes from baseline
4 weeks
ROM of Cervical spine (Extension)
changes from baseline.Bubble inclinometer was used to measure ROM in sitting position
4 weeks
ROM of Cervical spine (rotation rightward)
changes from baseline.Bubble inclinometer was used to measure ROM in sitting position
4 weeks
ROM of Cervical spine (rotation leftward)
changes from baseline. Bubble inclinometer was used to measure ROM in sitting position
4 weeks
ROM of Cervical spine (Side bending Right)
changes from baseline.Bubble inclinometer was used to measure ROM in sitting position
4 weeks
ROM of Cervical spine (Side bending Left)
changes from baseline.Bubble inclinometer was used to measure ROM in sitting position
4 weeks
Neck Flexors Muscle endurance
changes from baseline. Neck Flexion holding time in supine lying position was measured in seconds with the help of stop watch.
4 weeks
NDI (neck Disability Index)
changes from baseline NDI is self rated index to measure pain and disability due to neck pain. Neck disability index consists of 10 questions addressing functional activities. There are 6 potential responses for each item, ranging from no disability (0) to total disability (5).The NDI is scored from 0 to 50 with higher score indication greater disability.
4 weeks
Study Arms (3)
PVM group
ACTIVE COMPARATORThis group included 30 participants. Passive vertebral mobilization was given along with routine physiotherapy comprising TENS, Hotpack/IRR, Isometric neck exercise and postural care
PNF group
ACTIVE COMPARATORThis group included 30 participants. PNF exercise in the form of diagonal pattern neck movements was along with routine physiotherapy comprising TENS, Hotpack/IRR, Isometric neck exercise and postural care
RPT(Routine Physiotherapy) group
ACTIVE COMPARATORThis group included 30 participants.Routine physiotherapy comprising TENS, Hotpack/IRR, Isometric neck exercise and postural care.
Interventions
Posteroanterior glides was given to cervical spine using Maitland method along with routine physiotherapy comprising thermotherapy with Hot Packs 15 minutes, Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) 15 minutes,Isometric neck exercises,Education on precautions and postural care
The subjects was given PNF exercises comprising PNF diagonal patterns for neck along with routine physiotherapy comprising thermotherapy with Hot Packs 15 minutes, Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) 15 minutes,Isometric neck exercises,Education on precautions and postural care
