Treatment and study plan

Suspension system

Device

suspended from the handles of the straps by either their hands or feet while the non-suspended pair of extremities are in contact with the ground leading to muscle activation due to unstable base of support

Other names: Sling therapy

Scapular training exercises

Other

Scapular muscle strength by resistance

Primary outcomes

  1. Pain intensity

    Time frame: 1week

    Pain intensity is measured by neumeric pain rating scale the lowest value is 0 means no pain and the highest value is 10 means the worst pain

  2. Function

    Time frame: 1 week

    Function is measured by neck disability index the total score is 50 as the score is higher the disability is higher

  3. Scapular muscle strength

    Time frame: 1week

    Scapular muscle strength is measured by hand held dynanometer

  4. Scapular position

    Time frame: 1week

    Scapular position is measured by lateral scapular slide test
