Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Goniometry

    The art and science of measuring the joint ranges in each plane of the joint are called goniometry. The term 'goniometry' has its origin from two Greek words, gonia, which means angle, and metron, which means to measure. Goniometer is a device that measures an angle or permits the rotation of an object to a definite position. A universal goniometer has three parts. The fulcrum and the body are placed over the joint being measured. The stationary arm is the arm of the goniometer that aligns with the inactive part of the joint measured. It is structurally a part of the body and is not movable independently of the body. The moving arm is the arm of the goniometer, which aligns with the mobile part of the joint measured. Neck flexion, extension, side bending and rotation will be assessed through it

    4 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • NPRS (numeric pain rating scale)

    4 weeks

  • NDI (neck disability index)

    4 weeks

Study Arms (2)

autogenic inhibition

EXPERIMENTAL

isometric of muscles and stretching of the same side

Other: autogenic inhibition

reciprocal inhibition

EXPERIMENTAL

isometric of muscles and stretching of the opposite side

Other: reciprocal inhibition

Interventions

autogenic inhibitionOTHER

Group 1 will receive AI-MET with conventional treatment. AI include stretching of the affected muscle and performing isometric contraction with 50% of the total patient's effort in the same muscle that will being stretched and position hold for 10 seconds, with 5 seconds of rest after every repetition. This procedure will repeat 5 times.

autogenic inhibition
reciprocal inhibitionOTHER

Group 2 receive RI-MET with conventional treatment. The RI also include stretching of the affected muscle but contrary to AI, isometric contraction of the antagonist muscles with the 50% of total patient's effort will follow. This position holds for 10 seconds, while agonist's muscle will still in the stretched position, with 5 seconds of rest after every repetition. This procedure will repeat 5 times too.
