No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Mechanical neck pain is posteriorly occurring non-specific pain that originates from the superior nuchal line and extends to the first thoracic vertebrae. It is exacerbated by sustained neck postures, neck movements or cervical muscle palpation. The aim of study will be to compare the effects of scapular stabilization versus thoracic spine extension exercises on pain, disability and range of motion in patients with mechanical neck pain.

Conditions

  • Neck Pain

Interventions

OTHER

scapular stabilization

Scapular stabilization exercise aims to restore scapular position, orientations, motor control of muscles, and movement pattern, thereby attaining stability of scapula for better kinematics of shoulder.scapular stabilization exercises for 4 weeks with 2 sets of 10 repetitions. These exercises comprised of four exercise programs (Scapular retraction; Scapular mobilization, Scapular dynamic stabilization I and Scapular dynamic stabilization II)

OTHER

Thoracic extension exercises

Thoracic extension involves concurrent posterior rotation (external torsion) and depression of the posterior ribs with elevation of the anterior ribs. Bending to the side is a combination of spinal segments side bending, ribs on the same come together while ribs on the opposite side separate.Group B performed thoracic extension exercises for 4 weeks with 2 sets of 10 repetitions. These exercises comprised of three exercise programs.
