Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Lateral scapular slide test.

  The scapular position is measured by taking the side to side differences between both sides in all 3 test positions. The measurements are taken from the inferior angle of the scapulae to the spinous process of the thoracic vertebrae on horizontal plane. The test is done in 3 positions, with the arm abducted to 0, 45 and 90 degrees in the coronal plane. Position 1 involves placing the shoulder in neutral position, with the arms relaxed at the sides, Position 2 the humerus is placed in medial rotation and 45degree abduction, by positioning patients hands around the waist, Position 3 the humerus is placed in maximal rotation and 90degree abduction. The Test is positive when there is a difference of 1.5 cm when measurements are compared bilaterally.

  4 weeks

• Forward head posture (tragus to wall)

  Horizontal distance between tragus of the ear and wall, standing with heels and buttocks against the wall (to prevent pivoting), knees extended and chin. Nine and half centimeter is normal anything greater than this value indicate FHP.

  4 weeks

• Neck pain

  is strongly associated with upper body dysfunction and can affect daily lives activities. To measure neck pain before and after treatment neck disability index questionnaire will be filled from participant's neck disability index questionnaire with score of more than 20%.

Interventions

ELDOA OTHER

In this, each position will be maintained for 1 minute Level: C0/C1/C2 The patient is side lying with bottom arm folded under the head and maintain the neck in a horizontal position with the spine. the bottom leg is bent to stabilize the torso in a vertical position. Level: C4/C5 Patient lying in supine position and raise both hand arm towards the roof of the room with extended wrist. Bilateral knee to chest with planter flexion at ankle joint. Level: C5/C6 Same position as for c4/c5 with the arms will be elevated 120 degree Level C6/C7 Supine position with one arm abducted 90 degree and wrist joint at extension and the other hand abducted 30degrees with wrist joint at extension and one leg knee to chest and one leg raise with knee extension and planter flexion at ankle joint. Level: T4/T5 Quadruped position with one arm abducted 90degrees with wrist at extension Level: T6/T7. Conventional TX is Hot Pack, Tens for 10min. Patient is assessed through baseline, week 1, week 2 and week 4.

CORRECTIVE EXERCISES OTHER

All position will be held for 10 seconds. Initial phase Duration of this phase is 2 weeks. Exercise 1: lying supine on a foam roll with different abduction angles Exercise 2: side lying with external rotation Exercise 3: side lying with forward flexion Exercise 4: standing diagonal flexion Exercise 5: military press Improvement phase. Duration of this phase is 1 week we only add thera- band and dumbbells to the previously mentioned exercises Exercise 1: side lying external rotation with dumbbell Exercise 2: side lying forward flexion with dumbbell Exercise 3: standing diagonal flexion with thera-band Exercise 4: standing external rotation with thera band. Exercise 5: abduction in sitting on training ball. Exercise 6: lying prone on foam ball with different abduction angles Maintenance phase. Duration of this phase is 1 week. Conventional treatment Hot Pack, Tens for 10 minutes Patient is assessed through baseline, week 1, week 2 and week 4.
