Mechanical neck pain is known as one of the most common disorders in musculoskeletal system. In elderly population, prevalence of neck pain ranges up to 38% while point prevalence and lifetime prevalence ranges from 6% to 22% and 14.2% to 71% respectively . Neck pain is defined by the international association for the study of pain as: "Pain perceived as arising from anywhere within the region bounded superiorly by superior nuchal line, inferior by transverse line through the tip of first thoracic spinous process, and laterally by sagittal plane tangential to the lateral border of neck" . There are variable causes of neck pain like trauma, infections, inflammatory conditions, musculoskeletal conditions, rheumatic diseases, and congenital diseases . There are varying degrees of disability and activity limitation caused by neck pain, like work productivity reduction and decrease quality of life . People who have a sedentary lifestyle, poor occupational postures, students with poor posture, people involved in occupation like computer programming, clerical job workers and desk job works are more likely to suffer from mechanical neck pain . Most common cause of mechanical neck pain is muscle tightness, Upper trapezius and levator scapulae are the most involved muscles

Primary | Joint position sense test | A target is placed on a wall 90cm away from the patient, at the patient's head height in sitting. The target is typically 40cm in diameter with concentric circles in 1cm increments. A laser pointer or similar targeting device is mounted onto a lightweight headband is then placed on the patient's head. The patient is then asked to focus on finding natural resting head position so that the laser pointer is in line with the center or "bullseye" of the target. With eyes closed, the patient will actively move their head in one plane of motion and attempt to return to the starting position as accurately as possible. | four weeks | |
Primary | Digital sphygmomanometer | It is the most technologically advanced sphygmomanometer. It consists of an electronic sensor to measure the blood pressure and the readings are displayed on the digital monitor. To measure the blood pressure, the instrument measures the fluctuations of arteries | four weeks | |
Primary | Respiratory rate measurement | To measure the respiratory rate of a person, ask the person to rest quietly for a moment. Start a timer for 60 seconds and count every time they breathe. Use the second hand on your watch or a timer on your phone to keep track of the person's breathing for exactly 1 minute. Once the minute starts, count every time you see their chest rise . | four weeks | |
Primary | NPRS (Numeric Pain Rating Scale). | The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) measures the subjective intensity of pain. The NPRS is an eleven-point scale from 0 to 10. "0" = no pain and "10" = the most intense pain imaginable while the NPRS exhibited moderate reliability | four weeks | |
Primary | NDI (U) (Neck Disability Index) | The neck disability index is a ten-item self-reported questionnaire that assesses pain and associated disability, with a total max score of 50 points. An Urdu version of neck disability index will be used in this study. An intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) revealed excellent test-retest reliability for all items (ICC = 0.86-0.98) and total scores (ICC = 0.99) of the NDI-U | four weeks |
