A Comparison of the Effectiveness of PNF and Mulligan Mobilization Techniques with Classic Physiotherapy Modalities in People with Neck Pain
The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) and Mulligan Mobilization techniques with classical physiotherapy modalities in individuals with neck pain.
Forty individuals with neck pain aged between 18-55 years will be randomly divided into two groups, PNF and Mulligan group. Classical physiotherapy modalities will be applied to all individuals 5 days a week. PNF group will receive PNF techniques three days a week and Mulligan group will receive Mulligan mobilization techniques three days a week. Participants will be treated for 4 weeks. The pain level of the patients whose demographic data were recorded; Visual Analog Scale (VAS), pressure pain threshold; algometer, range of motion (ROM); universal goniometer, functionality; Neck Disability Index, kinesiophobia; Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale, quality of life; SF-36 Quality of Life Scale, mood; Beck Depression Inventory, cervical muscle performance level; cervical performance tests will be measured before and after treatment.
Post-treatment pain intensity, kinesiophobia and depression level; the effectiveness of pressure pain threshold, ROM, functionality, quality of life and cervical muscle performance level will be compared within and between groups.
