Brief Summary

The study will be randomized control trial. The study will be conducted in Iqbal Mehmooda Trust Hospital. Group A will be treated with global postural reeducation. Group B will be treated with neck stabilization training. Non probability consecutive sampling technique will be used. Patient below 20-40 years, participants who use smart phones for 8 hours per day(guidelines), angle of forward head pasture above 15, screening picture tool. Neurological defects, trauma, tumor, shoulder injury, cervical disc disease. REBA questionnaire, NDI, Goniometry, NPRS will be used as a tool. The global postural reeducation will be applied on group A while neck stabilization training will be applied on group B. The aim of this study will be to compare the effects of of global postural reeducation and neck stabilization training on text neck syndrome.

Conditions

Neck Syndrome

Text neck syndrome, REBA questionnaire, Turtle neck posture.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• REBA questionnaire to measure body position on work station.

  The Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) was developed to "rapidly" evaluate the risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) associated with certain job tasks. The change will be assessed from Baseline and end of treatment.

  6 weeks

• neck disability index to measure function of neck.

  NDI questionnaire has been designed to give us information as to how your neck pain has affected your ability to manage in everyday life. It had 10 sections with total 50 scores. The test can be interpreted as a raw score, with a maximum score of 50, or as a percentage. 0 points or 0% means : no activity limitations , 50 points or 100% means complete activity limitation. The change will be assessed from Baseline and end of treatment.

  6 weeks

• Numeric pain rating scale to measure pain.

  this scale is used for pain. Scale consists of 4 questions regarding actual pain level, zero indicates no pain and 10 indicates worst pain imaginable. The change will be assessed from Baseline and end of treatment.

  6 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Neck Ranges (Flexion, Extension, Rotation and Side bending)

global postural reeducation

EXPERIMENTAL

global postural reeducation (GPR) interventions will last 9 sessions, 1 hour each, with one-to-one supervision, once or twice a week according to the participant's needs. All participants will receive advice to follow written ergonomic suggestions and to repeat the exercises in the first physical therapy session at home twice a week for 15 minutes. Each group will get a home exercise program, which will differ according to the type of treatment received. Participants in the GPR group will execute one "posture" routine.

Other: global postural reeducation

neck stabilization training

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Each exercise session will be comprised of 10-minute warm-up exercises, 40-minute stabilization exercises, and 10-minute cool-down and stretching exercises, including neck and shoulder girdle muscles. The whole program will be carried out 3 days per week for 4 weeks.The participants will be asked to maintain the positions and contractions during the exercises and throughout the day as much as possible. The combination and progression of the exercises will be designed according to condition of the patient.
