Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.

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.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Kendall exercise

Intervention Type OTHER

consist of stretch of pectoralis major and neck extensor strengthening of deep neck flexors and scapular retractor

Gong's mobilization
