Summary

This studt was conducted to determine the effects of McKenzie Exercises along with Neurodynamic Mobilization exercises on Pain, Range of Motion and Functional Disability in patients with Cervical Radiculopathy.

Conditions

  • Cervical Radiculopathy

Interventions

OTHER

Neural Mobilization exercises:

The neural mobilization approach used in this group involved moving the median nerve for ten repetitions, each held for three seconds.

OTHER

Standard Treatment

Hot pack for 10 minutes. TENS for 10 minutes. Cervical traction for 15 minutes 7% of body weight with 4 seconds hold to progression to 7 seconds hold and 5 second rest. Superficial neck muscles (upper trapezius, Levator scapulae, Pect. Major) stretching for 3 times with 30 seconds hold and Neck isometrics 10 times with 6 seconds hold .

OTHER

McKenzie Exercises

First Week: The patient is lying supine with their head retracted or their chin tucked. For a little flexion, place a little pillow beneath the occiput. Patient pulls head and neck posteriorly, maintaining end position for 1 second, then relaxes. Second Week: Patient in sitting position. Progression with neck extension and chin tuck. Therapist applies overpressure at end of motion. Third Week: Patient in supine, head extended beyond couch edge. Therapist performs retraction and extension exercises with traction, maintaining traction through full range of motion. Fourth Week: Patient in sitting. Progression with combined movements: retraction with lateral flexion, neck rotation, and final combination of retraction and neck flexion with overpressure. 3-4 sets and 10-15 repititions.
