Brief Summary

The purposes of this study are to Investigate adding low frequency high intensity magnetic therapy to cervical stabilization exercises on pain intensity, function, ROM, cervical endurance, and cervical proprioception errors in patients with cervical spondylosis.

Conditions

Cervical Spondylosis

Keywords

Cervical Spondylosis - magnetic therapy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Assessment of Endurance of deep neck flexor muscle by the stabilizer

  Neck muscles endurance test will assess using the stabilizer. Subjects laid hook-lying position on a therapy table with a neutral neck position where their head and neck will be lined up and straight. The pressure sensor of the stabilizer will placed underneath the neck. Subjects will instructed to nod their head gently as if saying 'yes' without using the neck motions which may substitute the sternocleidomastoid muscle so that the pressure sensor will measured 2 mmHg above baseline. The testing will ranged from 20 mmHg to 30 mmHg and the pressure should maintain for the 10 seconds in each 2 mmHg without resting in muscle endurance test. Record the number of times a subject will hold the pressure level .

  Baseline

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Assessment of pain pressure threshold (PPT) assessment by using pressure algometer

  Baseline

• Assessment of pain and function using Neck disability index (NDI):
