Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of pressure biofeedback on deep cervical muscle in university teachers suffering from neck pain, Functional Disability and muscle endurance.

Conditions

Neck Pain

Keywords

Neck pain; Disabilty; Muscle endurance; Pressure biofeedback; Teachers

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Numeric pain rating Scale

  Numeric pain rating scale used to determine pain intensity experienced by individuals. It consist of a horizontal or vertical line with total of 11 numbers,ranging from 0 to 10. Where 0 indicates no pain while 10 is the worst pain.

  8th week

• Inclinometer

  It is an instrument used for measuring the angles of tilt,elevation and depression of an object with respect to gravity.

  8th week

• Cranio-cervical flexion test

  It is a clinical test of the anatomical action of the deep cervical flexor muscles. It could be described as a test of neuromotor control. The features assessed are the activation and isometric endurance of the deep cervical flexors

  8th week

• Neck Disability index

  This questionnaire has been designed to give us information as to how your neck pain has affected your ability to manage in everyday life.

Study Arms (2)

Deep cervical muscle training using pressure biofeedback and conventional Exercises

EXPERIMENTAL

The duration of preesure biofeedback includes 3 sets in a session with 10 repetitions each with 2 minutes of rest between sets and 5 days a week for 6 weeks. Conventional exercises like Stretching and strengthening of neck flexor muscles will include 10 repetitions, each held for 10s with rest of 2 minutes between sets. The session will be conducted for 6 weeks, 5 days a week.

Device: Pressure biofeedback

conventional exercises for Neck pain

EXPERIMENTAL

Only conventional exercises like stretching and strengthening of neck flexor muscles will be given.

Other: Conventional exercises for deep cervical muscle training

Interventions

Pressure biofeedback DEVICE

Deep cervical flexor training by using preesure biofeedback will be given 5 days a week for 6 week Conventional exercise for deep cervical muscle training will be given 5 days a week for 6 weeks
