Brief Summary

The effectiveness of kendall exercise vs. gong's mobilization for alleviating pain with improvment in range of motion, function and strength in cases with upper cross syndrome, assessed by dividing 44 patinets in two groups as Group A (n=22) was treated with Kendall exercises and Group B (n=22) managed by Gong's mobilization. VAS, NDI, SPADI, Goniometer and Dyanometer were used for assessing primary and secondary outcomes in patients.

Conditions

Syndrome, Down

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Visual Aanalogue scale

  A tool used to help a person rate the intensity of certain sensations and feelings, such as pain. The visual analog scale for pain is a straight line with one end meaning no pain and the other end meaning the worst pain imaginable. A patient marks a point on the line that matches the amount of pain he or she feels.

  12 Months

• Range of motion

  Range of motion of cervical spian and shoudler joint measured using a goniometer

Other: Kendall Exercise

Interventions

Gong's mobilization COMBINATION_PRODUCT

increases the range of motion for shoulder medial rotation by allowing shoulder medial rotation with the humeral head in a normal position against the glenoid cavity of the scapula

Gong's mobilization

Kendall Exercise OTHER

The Kendall exercise methods were as follows: Strengthening the deep cervical flexors, lying flat on the back with the chin down and then lifting the head and holding this position for 2-8 seconds to strengthen deep cervical flexors
