Brief Summary

this study will be conducted to investigate if there is a relationship between cervical radiculopathy and eye-hand coordination.

Conditions

Cervical Radiculopathy

Keywords

eye hand co ordination; cervical radiculopathy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• eye hand coordination movement speed objectively

  The Purdue Pegboard test will be used to assess eye hand coordination speed by putting as many pins as possible into the pegboard in 30 sec. the Test will be done three times each and averaged. The score for each of the four subtests

  baseline

• pain intensity

  numerical pain rating scale will be used for assessment of pain intensity. It is a single 11-point numeric scale. The physical therapist will ask the patient to state a number from 1 to 10 that best represents their perceived current pain intensity or pain intensity "in the last 24 hours". Zero usually represents 'no pain at all' whereas 10 is the upper limit represents 'the worst pain ever possible'

  baseline

• eye hand coordination accuracy and timing

  talking pen test will used to assess the accuracy and timing; Patient will grasp the pen like any writing tool with the thumb, index finger and middle finger. Patient will hold the pen at no less than a 45 angle from the writing space. An infra-red light and fiber optic sensor in the tip of the pen sense reflect as the user traces a pattern with the pen and provide immediate auditory feedback if the user wanders off the pattern.

  baseline

• eye hand coordination movement speed subjectively

  wall catch test will be used to assess eye hand coordination movement speed;A bucket of tennis balls will be available directly in front of the participant and a ball will be held in the dominant hand. The physical therapist will count down '3, 2, 1, go' and start the stopwatch, the ball will be thrown underarm off the wall and the return will be caught in their opposing hand. The participant then continue to throw and catch the ball in alternative hands for 30 s. If a ball is dropped, participants will be instructed to reach into the bucket of balls and to continue the test as quickly as possible.

  baseline

• eye hand coordination upper and limb muscles coordination

  standardized finger to nose test will be used to assess eye hand coordination upper and limb muscles coordination; Test will be performed with patient starting position then the patient will be asked to bring the tip of index finger to the tip of his nose then to touch a target 45 cm at arm's length and return to touch their nose again. It consists of recording how many times the individuals alternately touched their tip of their nose and a target placed in front of them on a wall
