Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This project was a pilot randomized trial conducted to compare the effects of Kendall exercise and Gong's mobilization on pain, range of motion, function and strength in text neck syndrome so that we can have best treatment option for patients with neck pain

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Other: Kendall exercise
  • Other: Gong's mobilization
 N/A

Detailed Description

Non Probability Convenient sampling was done. Patients following eligibility criteria from Fatima hospital Sargodha were considered. Sample size was calculated 12.

Participants were randomly allocated in two groups equally via convenient sampling method. Baseline assessment was done initially. Group A was given Kendall exercise and Group B was given Gong's mobilization along with conventional physiotherapy treatment (hot pack). Duration of research was almost 6 months. Participants were treated 3 times a week for 4 weeks. Pre and Post treatment readings were taken in 1st session and 4th week period respectively.

Assessment was done via Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS),Neck Disability index (NDI), Universal goniometer and Modified sphygmomanometer test. All participants were provided written informed consent prior to commencement of the procedures. They were free to quit the treatment at any stage of research. Data was analyzed by using SPSS version 23.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Kendall exercise

Experimental group 1 got this intervention containing Kendall exercise for 15-20 mins, followed by conventional physiotherapy treatment (hot pack).Participants were treated 3 times per week for 4 weeks. Pre and Post treatment readings were taken in 1st session and 4th week respectively. Assessment was done via Numeric pain rating scale, neck disability index, universal goniometer and modified sphygmomanometer test.

Other: Kendall exercise
consist of stretch of pectoralis major and neck extensor strengthening of deep neck flexors and scapular retractor
Experimental: Gong's mobilization

Experimental group 1 got this intervention containing Gong's mobilization for 15-20 mins, followed by conventional physiotherapy treatment (hot pack).Participants were treated 3 times per week for 4 weeks. Pre and Post treatment readings were taken in 1st session and 4th week respectively. Assessment was done via Numeric pain rating scale, neck disability index, universal goniometer and modified sphygmomanometer test.

Other: Gong's mobilization
it is combination of glide along the facet joint and concurrent movement of cervical spine

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Numeric pain rating scale [4th week]

    Numeric pain rating scale range from 0-10, 0 means no pain- 10 means severe pain First checked at baseline and than 4th week

  2. Range of Motion [4th week]

    All ranges of neck: 80° to 90° of flexion, 70° of extension, 20° to 45° of lateral flexion, and up to 90° of rotation to both sides. All ranges other than the written will be considered abnormal. First checked at baseline and than 4th week

  3. Neck Disability Index [4th week]

    Each of the 10 items is scored from 0 - 5. The maximum score is therefore 50. o means no pain 5 means maximum pain Each of the 10 items is scored from 0 - 5. The maximum score is therefore 50.0 means no disability, 50 means full limitation.A higher score indicates more patient-rated disability. First checked at baseline and than 4th week

  4. Modified Sphygmomanometer test [4th week]

    It is used to measure strength of muscles. change in 2mm cause minimal detectable change. First checked at baseline and than 4th week
