They randomly distributed into 2 group: group (A, study) consisted of 11 patients received cervical proprioceptive training, while group (B, control) consisted of 11 patients received usual care. The treatment was performed 3 times per week for 1 month. The cervical proprioception (flexion, extension, right and left rotations) was assessed by Revel laser method as active joint angular reproduction \[absolute error\].

Proprioceptive training group
EXPERIMENTALConventional group
ACTIVE COMPARATORInterventions
Study group will receive proprioceptive training through use of a laser pointer in a similar way to the testing. From sitting position, patients were asked to flex, extend and rotate their head and then return to the neutral position . This training was commenced with open eyes. Each direction was repeated 8 times for two sets, 30 seconds rest between sets. Progression of exercise was achieved by closing eyes, and altering the duration (trace shapes for 5 minutes and progress by increasing 2-3 minutes weekly as tolerated), repetitions (2-3 repetitions weekly), sets (1 set weekly) and the degree of difficulty of the task (different shapes and positions as standing and walking)
Patients of control group were allowed to stay active, avoid poor cervical ergonomics (poor sleeping habits, improper use of mobile/telephone),hot/cold packs, some range of motion exercises, and local medicines as prescribed by their general practitioner.
