About this trial

The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of kinetic control training on flexion relaxation phenomenon and craniovertebral angle in patients with cervical radiculopathy.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Patients will be referred from neurologist with the diagnosis cervical spondylosis.

Patients will be included if they have unilateral radiculopathy due to spondylotic changes of the lower cervical spine (C5-C6 and C6-C7).

Duration of symptoms is more than three months to avoid acute stage of inflammation.

Patient's age ranged from 40 to 55 years.

Disqualifiers

Spinal canal stenosis.

Rheumatoid arthritis.

Vertebrobasilar insufficiency.

Spinal instability due to structural cause e.g., spondylolisthesis.
