Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this predictive interventional study is todetrmine clinical predictors for success with combined proprioceptive neuromusclualr faciitaion (PNF) and passive mobilization ain patients with cervical radiculopathy (CR).

Detailed Description

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

This study will answer the question, what are the factors affecting success with PNF and mobilization for patients with CR? No control group. The goal of this new study is to see the effect of age, duration of symptoms, forward posture angle and neck disability index response to passive mobilization combined with the PNF technique

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

PNF plus mobilization

This single group will receive passive mobilization and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation for cervical region.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation

Intervention Type OTHER

Contract relax technique for each neck motion for three repetitions.

Passive mobilization

Intervention Type OTHER

To restore normal joint play, postero-anterior passive joint mobilization of cervical spine segments and cervicothoracic junction in limited motion will be applied.
