Brief Summary

1. 1.To compare the effectiveness of neck stabilization training program with conventional physical therapy in management of neck pain and disability in individuals with text neck syndrome.
2. 2.To compare the effectiveness of neck stabilization training program with conventional physical therapy in improving muscle strength and range of motion of cervical spine in individuals with text neck syndrome.

Conditions

Neck Syndrome

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Neck disability index

  It is a functional status questionnaire with 10 items including pain, personal care, lifting, reading, headaches, concentration, work, driving, sleeping and recreation. The test can be interpreted as a raw score, with a maximum score of 50, or as percentage. Highest the score or percentage, higher will be disability.

  6th week

• NPRS

  It is a segmented numeric scale in which respondent selects a whole number (0-10). The best reflects the intensity of pain.

  6th week

• Range of motion

  ROM of cervical flexion, extension, lateral rotation and side bending will be measured by universal goniometer.

  6th Week

• Cranio-vertebral angle

  This angle is identified as intersection of a horizontal line passing through the C7 spinous process and a line joining the midpoint of the tragus of the ear to the skin overlying the C7 spinous process.
