简要总结
The aim of this work is to record changes on accessory muscles especially sternocleidomastoid and scalene after applying cervical NAGs in COPD patients.
详细描述
Natural gliding movements in the spine, known as apophyseal glides, occur during breathing. These movements are believed to be important for maintaining good posture and flexibility in the spine. In COPD patients, the muscles that support the spine, like the scalene and SCM, can become tight and strained due to labored breathing. This tightness can lead to neck and shoulder pain.
While studies suggest that natural apophyseal glides improve spinal mobility, accessory muscle flexibility and reduce pain, there is room for further research on COPD patients, especially in Pakistan.

结局指标
主要结局
Tape Line
时间窗: 3rd week
Changes from baseline ROM range of motion for cervical flexion,etension, lateral flexion and rotation is measured using tape
NPRS
时间窗: 3rd week
Changes from baseline for pain is measured using NPRS. NPRS stands for Numerical Pain Rating Scale, a common method for assessing pain intensity. It's a simple scale from 0 to 10, where: 0 represents no pain, 1-3 represents mild pain, 4-6 represents moderate pain, 7-10 represents severe pain. Patients are asked to rate their pain by choosing a number on this scale to evaluate and monitor pain levels before and after treatment.
次要结局
- Dyspnea Index(3rd week)
- Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia(3rd week)
