Conditions

  • Cervical Radiculopathy

Interventions

OTHER

Group A-Mulligan Mobilization

Group A will receive Mulligan mobilizations (SNAGs). Mulligan SNAGs mobilization technique was applied at level C4/5. Subjects were placed in sitting position and therapist stood behind the patient with therapist's thumbs on spinous process of particular vertebra. Mobilization was given by active movement followed by passive overpressure based on the movement restricted. The duration of treatment was three sets of ten repetitions each. Conventional treatment include the following: Subjects in both the groups were treated with hot pack (20 min), TENS (2 to 10 Hz), and manual traction along with deep neck flexor, and isometric neck strengthening.

OTHER

Group B-Stretching Exercises

Group B will receive stretching exercises. Subject was asked to lie supine on the plinth and the head was held at the edge of the plinth by the therapist. Then with one hand the therapist held the neck in cervical lateral flexion to the opposite side so as to achieve the stretching of the trapezius muscle. Myofascial release by applying sustained finger pressure for 5-10 s on the involved trapezius was given. A gentle myofascial stretching force was applied to take up slack and sustained until a release occurred. This protocol comprised four sets of 15 stretches with 3 min rest. Conventional treatment include the following: Subjects in both the groups were treated with hot pack (20 min), TENS (2 to 10 Hz), manual traction along with deep neck flexor, and isometric neck strengthening.
