About this study

Effects of lower trapezius strengthening versus scapular mobility exercise on pain, range of motion and disability among snooker players in unilateral neck pain.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Age between 18 - 35 years,
  • Males snooker players
  • Neck pain perceived by individual as being on one side of the neck Pain 3 or more month in duration.
  • Participants with 6-7 level of pain on NPRS scale
  • Participants with scapular mobility limited

Exclusion criteria

  • Neck pain perceived by individual as being centrally located or on both sides of neck.
  • Radicular symptoms
  • History of cervical spine surgery
  • Traumatic neck injury
  • underlying neurological condition

Treatment and study plan

lower trapezius strenghtening excercise

Other

32 participants will be in control group who will perform strenghtening excerise of lower trapezius

scapular mobility exercise

Other

32 participants will be in experimental group who will perform scapular mobility exercise

Primary outcomes

  1. NECK DISABILITY INDEX (NDI SCALE)

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    Each section of NDI is scored on a 0 to 5 rating scale, in which zero means 'No pain' and 5 means 'Worst imaginable pain'.

    Points summed to a total score. The test can be interpreted as a raw score, with a maximum score of 50, or as a percentage.

    0 points or 0% means : no activity limitations , 50 points or 100% means complete activity limitation. A higher score indicates more patient-rated disability. it should be noted before exercise and after 8 week of exercise in uni lateral neck pain players .

    BENCHMARK FOUND; 1.0-4points (0-8%) no disability, 2.5-14points ( 10 - 28%) mild disability, 3.15-24points (30-48% ) moderate disability, 4.25-34points (50- 64%) severe disability, 5.35-50points (70-100%) complete disability

  2. NPRS

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) (an outcome measure) that is a uni-dimensional measure of pain intensity in adults with chronic pain.

    the 11-point numeric scale ranges from '0' representing one pain extreme (e.g. "no pain") to '10' representing the other pain extreme (e.g. "pain as bad as you can imagine" or "worst pain imaginable").

    we measure snooker players pain on a scale before exercise and after exercise to find pretest and posttest pain intensity.

  3. GONIOMETER

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    we measure cervical range of motion in flexion and extension through goniometer before performing exercise and after strenghtening and mobility exercise
