About this trial

This study will be conducted to:

* Investigate the relationship between neck pain severity and bilateral gait symmetry in patients with cervical radiculopathy. * Investigate the relationship between deep neck flexors strength and gait symmetry in patients with cervical radiculopathy. * Investigate the relationship between upper limb muscles strength and bilateral gait symmetry in patients with cervical radiculopathy. * Determine factors predicting bilateral gait asymmetry in patients with cervical radiculopathy.
