No results posted yet for this study

Summary

this study will be conducted to compare between global postural reeducation (GPR) and deep neck flexors (DNF) activation in patients with chronic nonspecific neck pain (NSNP) on pain, disability, forward head posture and deep neck flexors endurance

Conditions

  • Non Specific Neck Pain
  • Forward Head Posture

Interventions

OTHER

global postural reeducation exercises

Subjects will be trained on global postural reeducation exercises (GPR) and active neck exercises. At each session, they will maintain two different lying postures to stretch anterior and posterior muscle chain and one standing posture to integrate the postural correction into activity of daily living (ADL.Initially, without gravity load, a lying posture was applied to the anterior muscle chain for approximately 15 min, then another lying posture to the posterior muscle chain for other 15 min, and finally the patients worked in a standing posture for postural integration under a gravity load for 5 min.

OTHER

deep neck flexor activation exercise

Subjects will be trained on deep neck flexor activation using pressure biofeedback and active neck exercises . The pressure sensor will be put under the neck and will be asked to de gentle nod as if saying "yes" so that the pressure sensor measures 2mmHg above baseline (20mmHg), then 4mmHg, followed by 6mmHg,8mmHg, and 10 mmHg without rests in between. the pressure sensor should read 30mmHg at the end of the movement sequence. Patient will hold each increment for 2 seconds, 10 seconds total after all 5 increments. Highest level achieved will be repeated with the correct form until a total of 10 reps with 10-second holds will be achieved in three series with 30 seconds of interval between the series plus active neck flexor exercise
