-The goal of this observational study is to learn about the impact of the changes in cranio-vertebral angle on the cervicogenic dizziness and the risk of falling in the patients with cervical radiculopathy .The main question it aims to answer is: Is there an impact of the changes in cranio-vertebral angle on the cervicogenic dizziness and the risk of falling in the patients with cervical radiculopathy ? The participants will be undergone measuring the cranio-vertebral angle ,assessment of cervical proprioception and other tasks and questions through 3scales . Researchers will compare between study group and control group to see if there isimpact of the changes in cranio-vertebral angle on the cervicogenic dizziness and the risk of falling in the patients with cervical radiculopathy .
