Objective: To look into the impact of Mulligan mobilization versus neural mobilization on nerve root function. Methods: Seventy-two cervical radiculopathy patients were randomly divided into three separate groups of equal size; group A was administered Mulligan therapy besides conventional treatment, group (B) was administered neural mobilization besides conventional treatment and group (C) was administered conventional treatment only, over the course of four weeks, treatment was administered to each group three times weekly. Electromyography device was utilized to measure peak to peak amplitude, latency and F-wave, while digital commander algometer was utilized to assess pressure pain threshold as well as Arabic version of Neck Disability Index was utilized to assess cervical neck function. Results: In all measure.. Read More»
