Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Function
Time Frame: 1 week
Function is measured by neck disability index the total score is 50 as the score is higher the disability is higher
Scapular muscle strength
Time Frame: 1week
Scapular muscle strength is measured by hand held dynanometer
Pain intensity
Time Frame: 1week
Pain intensity is measured by neumeric pain rating scale the lowest value is 0 means no pain and the highest value is 10 means the worst pain
Scapular position
Time Frame: 1week
Scapular position is measured by lateral scapular slide test
