简要总结
NEED OF STUDY - Chronic non-specific neck pain is often treated with localized physiotherapy, but emerging research suggests a connection between ankle stability and cervical function through the myofascial chain. This study explores whether adding ankle stability exercises to standard care improves neck pain, mobility, proprioception, and function. Enhancing postural control through distal joint intervention may offer a holistic, cost-effective approach to managing and preventing chronic neck pain
AIM - To assess the added effects of ankle stability exercises combined with standard physiotherapy protocol compared to standard physiotherapy protocol alone on cervical mobility, pain, cervical proprioception, and functional abilities in subjects with chronic non-specific neck pain
