Effects of Cervical Traction With and Without EMG Biofeedback in Patients With Cervical Radiculopathy

"Continuous traction for 15-20 minutes in sitting position on average at an angle of 15-25 degrees of cervical flexion or in the most pain-free position.~Ask the patient to assume sitting position on a comfortable chair. Place surface electrodes of EMG biofeedback at the level of C5-6 Para spinal muscles to pick up the activity of the muscles and convert it to vis-ual and auditory impulses produced from the device. Tell the patient to try to relax the tension of the neck muscles as much as he can by lowering the visual and auditory impulses from the device"
