Conditions

Chronic Non-specific Neck Pain

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Correlation Between Chronic Non-Specific Neck Pain And Lumbar Reposition Sense Using iPhone inclinometer app

  using the iPhone inclinometer app to asses the lumbar reposition error measures with degrees and it's correlation to cervical non-specific neck pain using visual analogue scale ranging from 1 to 10

OTHER

Participants will be measured using iPhone® Inclinometer Application. The measurement app level, a measuring tool, was utilised with the iPhone® 10 (Apple Inc., California, USA). A free application that is built into the iPhone®, The measurement app level shows the numerical size in a manner similar to a digital inclinometer. The programme shows the angle measured using a digital display and the accelerometer included into the iPhone®. Degrees (°) were used as the measurement unit.

Diagnostic Test: Chronic non-specific neck pain and lumbar reposition sense

Interventions

Chronic non-specific neck pain and lumbar reposition sense DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

In order to evaluate the lumbar joint repositioning error using the Joint Positioning Sense, the following guidelines were followed: (I) The participants were to stand with their arms at their sides, their feet externally rotated (about 20 degrees). (II) With the feet flat on the floor and the arms resting on the front of the thighs, the person was seated in a height-adjustable seat that measured the length of the shank. (III) With a belt fastened, the iPhone® was positioned upright just above the iliac crest, (IV) the inclination of the inclinometer was 0°; (V) The inclinometer's 0° point was set as the initial position. (VI) The individual was passively guided by the assessor to a 30° flexion within the range of 0 to 30°; (VII) the subject was to memorize this position for 10 s; (VIII) the subject actively returned to the initial position. (IX) Subsequently, the participant was required to actively replicate the position three times.
