Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

cervical joint position error test

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

Time frame
four weeks
2

Neck disability index

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

Time frame
four weeks
3

CROM

Cervical range of motion measured using CROM in different directions

Time frame
four weeks

Secondary outcomes

1

Visual analogue scale for pain (VAS-P)

is a method for measuring the intensity of pain on a horizontal straight line of fixed length (10 cm), as the left end of the line showed the greatest pain score \& the right end showed the least pain scores, then the patient was asked to put a mark, on the line according to his/her pain sensation, with a higher score representing the higher level of pain
