About

The goal of this predictive interventional study is todetrmine clinical predictors for success with combined proprioceptive neuromusclualr faciitaion (PNF) and passive mobilization ain patients with cervical radiculopathy (CR).

Full description

This study will answer the question, what are the factors affecting success with PNF and mobilization for patients with CR? No control group. The goal of this new study is to see the effect of age, duration of symptoms, forward posture angle and neck disability index response to passive mobilization combined with the PNF technique
