简要总结
To investigate the Effect of High Tone Power Therapy on Neck Pain and Proprioception in Cervical Radiculopathy Patients.
详细描述
Forty two patients with Cervical Radiculopathy will participate in this study. The patients will randomly be divided into two equal groups; the control group which received the selected exercise program and the study group received the same exercise training program in addition to High Tone Power Therapy, three times per week for four weeks. The evaluation methods are cervical joint position error test, neck disability index, Cervical range of motion (CROM) and visual analogue scale

时间窗: four weeks
The subject will be instructed to perform an active head rotation to one side, after which returns back to the neutral or starting head position. The test will be performed in a 3 trials in each direction
Neck disability index
时间窗: four weeks
includes 10 items as follows: Pain Intensity, Personal Care, Lifting, Reading, Headaches, Concentration, Work, Driving, Sleeping, and Recreation, with a score (0:5) for every point. The maximum score is 50, with the interpretation scoring (no disability = 0: 4, mild disability 5:14, moderate disability 15:24, severe disability 25: 34 and complete disability above 34
CROM
时间窗: four weeks
Cervical range of motion measured using CROM in different directions
次要结局
- Visual analogue scale for pain (VAS-P)(four weeks)
