Study Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of Mulligan mobilization with arm movement on nerve conduction velocity in patients with unilateral cervical radiculopathy. The main questions it aims to answer are :
- Is there a statistical significant effect of mobilization with arm movement on NCV velocity in treatment of cervical radiculopathy ?
- Is there a statistical significant effect of mobilization with arm movement on pain level in treatment of cervical radiculopathy ?
- Is there a statistical significant effect of mobilization with arm movement on cervical ROM in treatment of cervical radiculopathy ?
- Is there a statistical significant effect of mobilization with arm movement on neck disability level in treatment of cervical radiculopathy ?
The course of treatment involves 6 sessions over the course of 3 weeks participants will be divided into 2 groups : Control group : recieves only Conventional treatment Experimental group : recieves Conventional treatment and Mulligan mobilization with arm movement .
Detailed Description
the aim of our study is to examine the effect of Mulligan mobilization with arm movement on cervical radiculopathy using nerve conduction studies , in addition to the original measures of previous studies (pain level, cervical ROM and neck disability scale) .
