Brief Summary

this project was a Quasi-Experimental Trial. conducted to compare the Effects of Neural Glides Versus Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation in Terms of Joint Position Sense and Pain in Cervical Radiculopathy . so that we can have best treatment option for patients with cervical radiculopathy

Conditions

Cervical Radiculopathy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• pain by numeric pain rating scale

  0-10 , 0 minimum 10 maximum pain

  2 months

• Functional disability by NECK DISABILITY INDEX

  This means that the overall score range is between 0 and 50, 0 being no to little pain and discomfort while 50 being the severest degree of pain and disability with complete activity limitation.

  2 months

Study Arms (2)

Neural glide

EXPERIMENTAL

Neural mobilization of median nerve which includes gliding and sliding was given

Other: Neural Glide

Rhythmic stabilization technique

EXPERIMENTAL

Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (Rhythmic stabilization technique will be Given)

Other: Rhythmic stabilization technique

Interventions

Neural Glide OTHER

hot pack and cervical traction is applied for 10-15 min.Group A received Neural mobilization of median nerve which includes gliding and sliding was given,therapist stood on the patient \& affected side besides the patient, patient'S shoulder was depressed with one hand and elbow was moved in 90 degree flexion, forearm supination, extend the wrist and fingers with other hand. Then patient arm was moved into 90 degree abduction and then sliding or gliding of nerve was applied. Sliding was applied with elbow extension and wrist flexion and elbow flexion with wrist extension. 6 sets were performed. Each set was performed for 60 seconds, for alternative days in week for 4 weeks and then progressed to gliding/tensioning technique when symptoms improved

Neural glide

Rhythmic stabilization technique OTHER

This group was receiving (PNF) Rhythmic stabilization technique with base line treatment. Subject was lying in spine position on the treatment table and therapist resist an isometric contraction of agonist muscle group.pt maintain this position for 10 sec without trying to move and 12-15 repetitions were performed with 30 sec rest. Each therapeutic session treatment was focused on facilitation of neck stabilizers, improving neck stability, coordination, decreasing pain and improving postural control

Rhythmic stabilization technique
