Overview

The effectiveness of kendall exercise vs. gong's mobilization for alleviating pain with improvment in range of motion, function and strength in cases with upper cross syndrome, assessed by dividing 44 patinets in two groups as Group A (n=22) was treated with Kendall exercises and Group B (n=22) managed by Gong's mobilization. VAS, NDI, SPADI, Goniometer and Dyanometer were used for assessing primary and secondary outcomes in patients.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Visual Aanalogue scale

A tool used to help a person rate the intensity of certain sensations and feelings, such as pain. The visual analog scale for pain is a straight line with one end meaning no pain and the other end meaning the worst pain imaginable. A patient marks a point on the line that matches the amount of pain he or she feels.

Time frame: 12 Months

Range of motion

Range of motion of cervical spian and shoudler joint measured using a goniometer
