Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Other | neck disability index | The neck disability index NDI has become a standard instrument for measuring self-rated disability due to neck pain. Each of the 10 items scores from 0 to 5. The maximum score is 50 Changes from Basline to 8th week | 8th week | |
Other | Photogrammetry | It is used for postural evaluation. Most common way to find forward head posture is y measuring craniovertebral angle. Photos were taken from patients' right side and analysis is done by using ImageJ software Changes from Basline to 8th week | 8th week | |
Primary | Change in NPRS | Pain intensity will be assessed by numeric pain rating scale NPRS. The 11-point NPRS (intervals from 0-10) is used to quantify pain intensity; 0 represents no pain, and 10 represent the worst possible agony. The NPRS is a valid and reliable instrument for older persons. Participants will be asked to select the number that most accurately describes their level of pain. At the baseline assessment, following each exercise session during the 8-week intervention, and finally at the end of the intervention Programmed, the NPRS scores will be recorded Changes from Basline to 8th week | 8th week | |
Secondary | Range of motion | A goniometer is a device that measures an angle or permits the rotation of an object to a definite position. The long arm goniometers are more accurate for joints with long levers like the knee and hip joints. A universal goniometer has three parts. A body: It is designed like a protractor and may form a full or a half-circle. It has a scale for the measurement of the angle. The scale can extend either from 0 to 180 degrees or 180 to 0 degrees. A fulcrum: The screw-like device can be tightened to fix the moving arm in a particular position or loosened to permit free movement. The moving arm is the arm of the goniometer, which aligns with the mobile part of the joint measured.
