Brief Summary

the aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of instrumented assisted soft tissue mobilization versus integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique on mechanical non-specific neck pain

Conditions

Non-specific Chronic Mechanical Neck Pain

Keywords

instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization; integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• pain intensity

  The scale that will be used the VAS ;each subject will instructed to put point on line from no pain to tolerable pain

  up to four weeks

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• neck disability

  up to four weeks

• muscle amplitude in the form of normalized root mean square (RMS)

  up to four weeks

• muscle fatigue in the form of median frequency

  up to four weeks

Study Arms (3)

instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization

EXPERIMENTAL

the patients will receive instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization+conventional therapy three times per week for four week

Other: instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization; Other: conventional therapy

integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique

EXPERIMENTAL

the patients will receive integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique+ conventional therapy. three times a week for four week

Other: integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique; Other: conventional therapy

conventional therapy

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

the patients will receive conventional therapy three times a week for four week

Other: conventional therapy

Interventions

instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization OTHER

the patients will receive instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization:The subject was seated in a relaxed sitting position. M2T blade was used to find specific areas of restriction on RT upper trapezius. Then treatment plane 1 - 2 and 3 were used.The lubricant (Vaseline) was applied to the skin around the neck area prior to treatment and the tool was cleaned with an alcohol preparation pad. Then by using M2T blade with angle 45, we were giving long slow strokes without causing any discomfort or pain over muscle starting from its insertion up to its origin approximately for 2 to 3 min repeated two times.

instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization

integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique OTHER

will receive integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique: from supine lying position.we the patients will perform ischemic compression at trigger points then positional release technique and finally muscle energy technique.

integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique

conventional therapy OTHER

the patients will receive hot back for 10 minutes, active range of motion exercise, chin tuck, stretches

conventional therapy; instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization; integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique
