Study Overview

Brief Summary

Spinal pain or misalignment is a very common disorder affecting a significant number of populations resulting in substantial disability and economic burden. Various manual therapeutic techniques such as spinal manipulations and mobilizations can be used to treat and manage pain and movement dysfunctions such as spinal malalignments and associated complications. These manual therapeutic techniques can affect the cardiovascular parameters .

Detailed Description

Group A group (n=20). All participants will receive only single session of neck mobilization. Grade IV unilateral posteroanterior pressure and sustained extension to be applied restricted joints and muscle energy technique.

  • Group B (n=20) will receive single session of neck manipulation with high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust over restricted joints (one at a time) with the goal of restoring normal range of motion in the joint.

  • The age of participants will range from 27 to 60 years old.
  • Body mass index of participants will range between < 39 kg/m².

  • history of stroke.
  • body mass index (BMI) greater than 39 kg/m

Arms & Interventions

cervical mobilization

Experimental

session will include3-5 repetitions of muscle energy technique in combination of facet joint mobilization of unilateral antro-posterior glide and extension repetitions

Intervention: cervical mobilization (Other)

cervical manipulation

Active Comparator

patients will receive high velocity low amplitude thrust

Intervention: cervical manipulation (Other)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

systolic blood pressure measurement

Time Frame: it will be measured immediately before and after single session treatment

systolic pressure - the pressure when your heart pushes blood out and is measured by Mercury sphygmomanometer and stethoscope

Secondary Outcomes

  • diastolic blood pressure(it will be measured immediately before and after single session treatment)
  • perfusion index(it will be measured immediately before and after single session treatment)
  • pain assessment(it will be measured immediately before and after single session treatment)
  • oxygen saturation(it will be measured immediately before and after single session treatment)
