About this trial

This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effects of clinical-based rehabilitation and synchronized telerehabilitation on pain, exercise adherence, and functional disability in patients with Grade-II cervical spondylosis. A total of 52 participants will be randomly allocated into two parallel groups. Both groups will receive a standardized 6-week rehabilitation program, including cervical mobility exercises, strengthening, isometric exercises, stretching, and Mulligan self-mobilization techniques. The clinical group will receive in-person physiotherapy, while the telerehabilitation group will undergo real-time supervised sessions via video conferencing. Outcome measures will include pain (Numeric Pain Rating Scale), functional disability (Neck Disability Index), and exercise adherence (Exercise Adherence Rating Scale), assessed at baseline and post-intervention. The study aims to determine whether synchronized telerehabilitation is as effective as clinical-based rehabilitation and may provide a more accessible alternative for delivering physiotherapy care.
