简要总结
The Patients will be recruited from Centre For Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Sciences. Pateints will be required to sign the consent form explaining their rights as research subjects. All the identifying information on the consent form and demographic data shall be confidential. The initial assessment of the patient will include demographic data, anthropometric characteristics and screening for non-specific chronic neck pain. Baselines assessment will include measurements for neck pain intensity using NPRS, pain pressure threshold using pressure algometer, cervical proprioception using laser pointer mounted onto a lightweight headband, cervical muscle endurance testing using the neck flexor and extensor muscle testing, balance measures using the Pedalosensamove Balance Test and neck function and disability using the neck disability index will be taken. Intervention will be given thrice a week for four weeks. After which post intervention assessment will be taken again.
