About this trial

The study aimed to

* Investigate the relation of cranio-vertebral angle with lumbar proprioception in patients with cervical radiculopathy. * Investigate the relation of cranio-vertebral angle with trunk muscles strength in patients with cervical radiculopathy. Cervical radiculopathy is a condition that causes neck pain radiating to the arm due to nerve root compression. The study seeks to explore whether posture and trunk control are affected in these patients. Participants will be assessed for craniovertebral angle, lumbar proprioception, and trunk muscle strength using standardized physical therapy evaluation methods. The findings may help in understanding postural and neuromuscular changes associated with cervical radiculopathy and improve rehabilitation programs
