Abstract
Objective: To assess the combined effect of neck and shoulder girdle muscles strengthening in chronic neck pain patients. Methods: 50 patients were taken randomly and divided into two groups. Group A and Group B. Each group contained 25 patients. Each patient was assessed for neck pain and impairment according to Visual Analogue Scale and Neck Disability Index before interventions and post intervention was also checked. Group A- The subjects received strengthening exercises for neck muscles along with shoulder girdle muscles with the help of Thera band for 12 sessions i.e. 6 days a week. Each exercise was done for 10 times with a hold of 10 seconds. Exercises were started initially with yellow color theraband and were progressed to red color theraband in the second week. Group B (Control group) subjects received strengthening exercises for neck muscles with the help of theraband for 12 sessions i.e. 6 days a week. Each exercise was done for 10 times with a hold of 10 seconds. After the intervention was completed the neck pain and impairment was assessed according to Visual Analogue Scale and Neck Disability Index. And readings were recorded for both the groups. Results: Pre and Post treatment results within the groups showed control group i.e. Group B to be more significant for cervical range of motion but between the two groups, Group A was more significant in comparison to Group B. On the contrary while analyzing the functional impairment component both Pre and Post treatment results within the groups and between the groups showed that Group B is more significantly better then Group A Conclusion: Present study concluded that there is significant improvement in the cervical range of motion in the combined strength training group than the control group. The pain and disability also improved in both the groups but there is more improvement in the control group than the combined strength training group.
