DEVICE

Visual Biofeedback

"In this method Led Head Band light will be used as a visual feedback. Patients in sitting or standing position with neck straight with the alignment of front wall marking followed by control movement training. Patient will be asked to follow the marking through head band light while performing motion control training. Each exercise hold for 6 second and then release and repeated 10 times respectively 3 times in a week for 4 weeks. Therefore, the total exercise time will be 5-10 mints.~Baseline Treatment~Before starting the session participants received moist heat pack and soft tissue massage on cervical for 10 to 15 mints followed by movement control training."
