Effects of Neural Glides Versus Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation in Cervical Radiculopathy

hot pack and cervical traction is applied for 10-15 min.Group A received Neural mobilization of median nerve which includes gliding and sliding was given,therapist stood on the patient \& affected side besides the patient, patient'S shoulder was depressed with one hand and elbow was moved in 90 degree flexion, forearm supination, extend the wrist and fingers with other hand. Then patient arm was moved into 90 degree abduction and then sliding or gliding of nerve was applied. Sliding was applied with elbow extension and wrist flexion and elbow flexion with wrist extension. 6 sets were performed. Each set was performed for 60 seconds, for alternative days in week for 4 weeks and then progressed to gliding/tensioning technique when symptoms improved

"This group was receiving (PNF) Rhythmic stabilization technique with base line treatment.~Subject was lying in spine position on the treatment table and therapist resist an isometric contraction of agonist muscle group.pt maintain this position for 10 sec without trying to move and 12-15 repetitions were performed with 30 sec rest. Each therapeutic session treatment was focused on facilitation of neck stabilizers, improving neck stability, coordination, decreasing pain and improving postural control"
