Summary

Background To assess the effectiveness of Kaltenborn-Evjenth Orthopedic Manual Therapy (KEOMT) applied to cervical-only mobilization versus both lumbar and cervical regions on pain intensity and range of motion (ROM) in individuals with cervical disc herniation, Methods: Thirty three participants were enrolled in the study. The patients were randomly assigned to two groups. Group A received cervical-only KEOMT while Group B received combined lumbar and cervical KEOMT, Interventions were administered three times a week for four weeks. Pain was measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), ROM was assessed for flexion and lateral flexion, and Neck Pain and Disability Index (NPDI) and Short-Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36) were used for evaluation.

Kaltenborn-Evjenth Orthopedic Manual Therapy (KEOMT)

Kaltenborn's biomechanical approach to diagnosis and treatment emphasizes ergonomic principles and trial-based techniques. His mobilization methods, classified into Grades I-III, target pain relief (Grades I-II) and joint hypomobility (Grade III) by enhancing glide and tissue elasticity. The Kaltenborn-Evjenth Orthopedic Manual Therapy (KEOMT) further refines this approach using arthrokinematic principles to restore physiological joint motion based on the concave-convex rule.
