Effects of Kendall Exercise VS Gong's Mobilization on Pain, Range of Motion, Function, and Strength in Cases With Upper Cross Syndrome

Name

MSRSW/Batch-Fall22/727

Description

The effectiveness of kendall exercise vs. gong's mobilization for alleviating pain with improvment in range of motion, function and strength in cases with upper cross syndrome, assessed by dividing 44 patinets in two groups as Group A (n=22) was treated with Kendall exercises and Group B (n=22) managed by Gong's mobilization. VAS, NDI, SPADI, Goniometer and Dyanometer were used for assessing primary and secondary outcomes in patients.
