Summary

Objective of study will be to compare effects of Cailliet and Kendall exercises on pain, functional movement and disability in non-specific neck pain.This randomized clinical trial will be conducted at Good Hands Physiotherapy Clinic, Shahdara Lahore. Sample size of study will be 36. Participants will be randomly divided into two groups Group A and Group B. We will include patients with age group between 25 to 40 years, both genders having localized pain or stiffness in cervical spine for more than 3 months after exclusion of upper limb radiculopathy. Group A will receive Kendall exercises regime and Group B will receive Cailliet exercises regime. Both groups will receive baseline treatment including hot pack and Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation (TENS). Short term effects would be assessed after treatment for 3 sessions per week on alternate days for 4 weeks. Patients will be assessed by Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) for pain, Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) for functional movement and Neck Disability Index (NDI) Urdu version for Disability. Analysis will be done by statistical package for social sciences SPSS 25.

Conditions

  • Nonspecific Neck Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Kendall exercises

1. Positioning supine with the chin tucked in and lifting the head for 2 to 8 sec to strengthen deep cervical flexors. 2. Maintaining a sitting posture, with hands on the occipital region, and flexed spine while moving head downwards to stretch cervical extensors, maintaining an upright posture. 3. Keep the resistance band circling with strong support and stretching it with the upper limbs of both sides so that there is full retraction of the scapula to strengthen retractors of the shoulder. 4. Stretching the pectoralis major and minor while keeping the patient's hands-on the occipital region and standing behind the patient and pulling both elbows backward to target the bilateral pectoralis muscles

OTHER

Cailliet exercises

The intervention of group B will include baseline treatment, followed by maneuvers, including: Neck Cailliet exercise using isometric contractions against the prisoner to the maximum that ends with relaxation and continued with stretching. Each posture was maintained for 30 s and 3 sets of 10 repetitions were performed with 3 sessions per week on alternate days for 4 weeks.
