Brief Summary

The effectiveness of kendall exercise vs. gong's mobilization for alleviating pain with improvment in range of motion, function and strength in cases with upper cross syndrome, assessed by dividing 44 patinets in two groups as Group A (n=22) was treated with Kendall exercises and Group B (n=22) managed by Gong's mobilization.

Study Groups

Gong's mobilization

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Gong's mobilization

Intervention Type: COMBINATION_PRODUCT

increases the range of motion for shoulder medial rotation by allowing shoulder medial rotation with the humeral head in a normal position against the glenoid cavity of the scapula

Kendall Exercise

Group Type: OTHER

Kendall Exercise

Intervention Type: OTHER

The Kendall exercise methods were as follows: Strengthening the deep cervical flexors, lying flat on the back with the chin down and then lifting the head and holding this position for 2-8 seconds to strengthen deep cervical flexors
