Summary

This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effects of clinical-based rehabilitation and synchronized telerehabilitation on pain, exercise adherence, and functional disability in patients with Grade-II cervical spondylosis. A total of 52 participants will be randomly allocated into two parallel groups. Both groups will receive a standardized 6-week rehabilitation program, including cervical mobility exercises, strengthening, isometric exercises, stretching, and Mulligan self-mobilization techniques. The clinical group will receive in-person physiotherapy, while the telerehabilitation group will undergo real-time supervised sessions via video conferencing. Outcome measures will include pain (Numeric Pain Rating Scale), functional disability (Neck Disability Index), and exercise adherence (Exercise Adherence Rating Scale), assessed at baseline and post-intervention. The study aims to determine whether synchronized telerehabilitation is as effective as clinical-based rehabilitation and may provide a more accessible alternative for delivering physiotherapy care.

Conditions

  • Grade-II Cervical Spondylosis

Interventions

OTHER

Group A: Clinical Based Rehabilitation

The first intervention is clinical-based rehabilitation, delivered through in-person physiotherapy sessions in an outpatient clinical setting. Participants will receive supervised treatment three times per week for 6 weeks, with each session lasting approximately 30-40 minutes. All sessions will be conducted by a qualified physiotherapist who will provide direct monitoring, guidance, and correction to ensure proper execution of therapy. This conventional rehabilitation approach emphasizes face-to-face interaction, allowing individualized attention and real-time clinical decision-making. Participants will also be advised to continue prescribed home-based activities on non-session days to maintain consistency and support recovery outcomes.

OTHER

Group B: Synchronized Telerehabilitation

The second intervention is synchronized telerehabilitation, delivered through real-time video conferencing sessions. Participants will receive supervised physiotherapy remotely three times per week for 6 weeks, with each session lasting approximately 30-40 minutes. A qualified physiotherapist will provide live instruction, monitoring, and feedback to ensure correct performance and safety during exercises. This approach replicates the structure of clinical-based rehabilitation while eliminating the need for in-person visits. Participants will also be given standardized home-based activity instructions for non-session days to maintain continuity of care. The intervention aims to evaluate the effectiveness of remote, technology-based rehabilitation in improving clinical outcomes in patients with Grade-II cervical spondylosis.
