- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Motor control of the deep cervical flexors will be assessed using the Cranio-cervical flexion test. Cervical joint position sense will be assessed using the cervical joint re-positioning test. These assessments will be done at the initial intervention and 1 month after the initial intervention.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Self-reporting improvement will be assessed using a 7-point scale. Pain intensity will be assessed using the P4. The magnitude of disability will be assessed using the Neck Disability Index and Patient-specific functional scale. Impacts on activity of daily living will be assessed using the EQ-5D-5L. These assessments will be done at the initial intervention and 1 month after the initial intervention.
