Arm Label

classical approach for neck pain

scapular exercise on neck pain

Arm Description

patients in this arm received classical approaches for neck pain. Cervical manual therapy was performed on patients in this arm and they were also instructed to to perform cervical endurance, strength and stretching exercises. Rehabilitation period was lasted for 6 weeks. Pain, quality of life and scapular kinematics were assessed before and after rehabilitation program.

patients in this arm received cervical manual therapy and cervical exercises too. Apart from cervical manual therapy and cervical exercises,patients also performed scapular stabilization exercise targeting trapezius, serratus anterior and rhomboid muscles. Rehabilitation period was lasted for 6 weeks. The same assessment parameters was conducted on this arm too.

Outcomes

Patient's neck was measured with Visual Analog Scale

Secondary Outcome Measures

Quality of Life measured with Neck Disability Index

Patient's quality of life was measured with Neck Disability Index

Scapular Kinematics measured with 3-D motion monitor device

Patient's scapular kinematics was measured with 3-D motion monitor device

5. Study Description

Brief Summary

Neck pain is a very common problem in the population. Most of the patients suffer from neck pain for long time and the problem becomes chronic. The investigators studied the effects of scapular stabilization exercise on mechanical neck pain.

Detailed Description

Neck is one of the most common musculoskeletal problem in the world. Yet the problem still haven't been understood and solved completely. Its incidence is also becoming higher and most people who have neck pain suffer from it for long time. Several problems have been related to neck pain. Hence, the investigators designed a study to see the effects of scapular stabilization exercise on neck pain.
