Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Visual Analogue Scale
Time Frame: 1 minute
The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was developed to transform values which cannot be measured numerically to a numerical form. The patient is instructed to mark the severity of pain on a line marked at one end as 0=no pain to 10=intolerable pain, thereby providing the level of pain in a numerical form
Range of motion
Time Frame: 10 minute
Devices to measure range of motion in the joints of the body include the Goniometer and Inclinometer which use a stationary arm, protractor, fulcrum, and movement arm to measure angle from axis of the joint. We measured neck flexio, extantion and rotation
Secondary Outcomes
- Lateral Scapular Shift Test(5 minute)
- Neck Disability Index(3 minutes)
- Bournemouth Neck Pain Questionnaire(5 minutes)
