Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of conventional physical therapy with and without cervical proprioceptive training using head-mounted laser system on cervical joint position sense error, pain, cervical range of motion and neck disability index. Proprioception disturbs in any function and structural impairments that is mechanical neck pain. Different studies has been done to find out the best therapy for pain management. Aim of the researcher is to give cost-effective, not so time-consuming, most effective physical therapy treatment. A literature gap exists on the effects of proprioceptive training combined with conventional physical therapy, no studies have directly compared the effect of proprioceptive training using head-mounted laser with and without conventional physical therapy. In our clinical setting, proprioceptive training for mechanical neck pain is not used as much as it should be. It would be a new thing to add and it can be cost-effective and better treatment for symptoms resolution

Conditions

  • Mechanical Neck Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Proprioceptive training using head mounted laser

Exercises include head relocation practice, i.e., relocating the head back to the natural head posture and to pre-determined positions in range with eyes open using feedback from a laser attached to their head. And then tracing the figure of eight with the help of laser.

OTHER

Conventional Physical therpay

Conventional physical therapy for mechanical neck pain which includes cervical range of motion (flexion, extension, lateral rotation, and rotation), neck isometric exercises, stretching's (scalene, trapezius, SCM) and TENS with heating pad.
