No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of different angles of decompression on the Flexor Carpi Radialis (FCR) H-Reflex in patients with cervical radiculopathy

Conditions

  • Cervical Radiculopathy

Interventions

OTHER

Cervical Traction from different angles

Intermittent traction will be applied, maximum force will be 16 kg, minimum force will be 12 kg, traction cycle of each minute consists of 20 seconds static traction at the maximum force then released down to the minimum force for 20 seconds then repeated for 20 seconds static traction. Traction session time will be 15 minutes, and the traction force will be increased progressively with speed (50%) of increment of force
