Study Overview
Brief Summary
In this study We will find out the immediate effects of neural mobilization techniques on grip and pinch strength. Pre and post measurements of grip strength and pinch strength( lateral pinch, two point pinch, and three point pinch) of smartphone addicted users who have using smartphone for more than 6 hours from 2 years will be measured. The participants will be divided into 3 groups and will get either median nerve mobilization by sliders technique or median nerve mobilization by tensioners techniques or sham group(no treatment). Post intervention measurements of grip strength and pinch strength( lateral pinch, two point pinch, and three point pinch will be taken immediately. The data will be analyzed using appropriate statistical tests.
