Mckenzie protocol
"In this group 20 participants will receive McKenzie protocol with conventional physical therapy. Participants will be asked to sit to treat extension deficit. The participant will be in a comfortable sitting position with a proper back support. Head is kept in forward facing without any up and done movement (10 to 15 times). Then, he restored the neutral sitting posture, and at the end of the range of motion (ROM), he' tuck in chin by pushing the chin with his fingers (10 to 15 times). Subsequently, the participant will be requested to return to the original position while the therapist one hand's forefinger placed alongside the participant's mandible (to stabilize the head at full retraction position), and the heel of the other hand placed on the first or second dorsal vertebra (to provide posterior-anterior force). The exercises then repeated five or six times in a Session. the session will be of 45 mins, 3 session per week."
Rhythmic Stabilization technique
In this group participants will receive Rhythmic stabilization, with Conventional physiotherapy treatment the flexion , extension exercises performed. During flexion pattern the experimenter stood at the right side of patient and used his tip of fingers at chin. The experimenter then put his left hand at anterior side of head to apply resistance. then extension pattern is resisted and asked patient to match my resistance. The experimenter provided resistance against right rotation and lateral flexion provided during the exercise in order to induce strong muscle contractions. 3 sessions of 45 minutes a week, over a period of 10 weeks.
