Effects of Mulligan Belt Traction Versus Fisted Traction on Pain, Range of Motion and Disability Level in Patients With Lower Cervical Spine Radiculopathy
Effects of Mulligan Belt Traction Versus Fisted Traction on Pain, Range of Motion and Disability Level in Patients With Lower Cervical Spine Radiculopathy
Individuals with a lower cervical spine radiculopathy diagnosis will undergo screening to determine their eligibility based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Eligible participants will be asked for their informed consent
Participants will receive a unique identifying code to maintain confidentiality and be formally enrolled in the study upon obtaining informed consent. Following that, they will have baseline evaluations for outcome factors such as neck disability index, range of motion using goniometry and pain using a numerical pain rating scale. After completing the baseline evaluation, participants will be divided into two groups: Group A will receive a Mulligan Belt Traction, while Group B will receive a Fisted Traction. Every participant will get treatment for four weeks, with three sessions per week. At the conclusion of the intervention period, a post-intervention assessment will be carried out Randomization:Random allocation of participants into the two groups, Group A and Group B, will be performed by a lottery method. The participants of Group A will be managed by Mulligan Belt Traction while in Group B, participants will receive Fisted Traction. The physiotherapists will provide both interventions during a specified time period.
Inclusion Criteria:• Age 25-60 years
