About this trial

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of kinetic control retraining on neck proprioception and functional outcome in patients with cervical radiculopathy.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Forty Four patients suffering from chronic cervical unilateral radiculopathy (symptomatic duration) (3 months to 1year).

Their age ranges 40-55 years, from both sexes.

Cervical spondylosis (at the levels of C5-C6/C6-C7 confirmed by cervical MRI)..

Disqualifiers

Cervical myelopathy with evidence of pyramidal, posterior column, and or spinothalamic tract lesions.

Patients with decreased range of motion of cervical spine secondary to congenital anomalies, musculature contracture, or bony block.

Previous cervical or shoulder surgery or trauma.

Cervical instability caused by structural problem (e.g. ligament tear or spondylolithesis.
