Clinical Trial Summary

the aim of the study was to investigate the immediate influence of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation on cervical range of motion, strength and proprioception


Description:

the study evaluates the influence of two proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques (PNF patterns and PNF stretching) on cervical proprioception. PNF techniques are regularly used techniques among physiotherapist. also there is a lack of studies that investigated the effect of PNF on cervical proprioception

Intervention

Other:
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Patterns
The participants were asked to sit on a chair, the therapist performed the pattern of movement himself then passively applied the pattern on the participant then asked the participant to perform the pattern, and the therapist observed and corrected the movement if it was done improperly.Then participants were told that the therapist will resist their movement, they were also told to keep breathing normally and to report any discomfort and/or pain.After mastering the pattern,the therapist placed one hand on the participant's mandibular and the other hand approximately between parietal and occipital bones to apply resistance through out the ROM, each pattern performed for 3 sets of 10 repetitions with 1-2-minute rest between sets.
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation stretching
was done for 6 repetitions with hold for 6 seconds in position of stretch and sub maximal isometric contraction for 6 seconds, 1-2-minute rest was given before changing the target muscle group
Passive range of motion
ineffective passive ROM for 10 repetitions for flexion, extension, right and left side bending and right and left rotation, it was done from neutral position to the limit of motion without causing any stretch to the muscle.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Cervical Proprioception: Joint position accuracy method using cervical range of motion instrument. Joint position accuracy method using cervical range of motion instrument. Participants were asked to sit and put on the CROM instrument, then they were instructed to start moving their head to one of directions then the assessor stopped them at 30 degrees and told them to feel the amount of movement and muscle tension, this was repeated 3 times as a reference, then they were asked to do the movement with the eyes closed until they reach the target angle, this was repeated for 3 times, this was done for each direction and the assessor recorded the results. Cervical proprioception was done for flexion, extension, right side bending, left side bending, right and left rotation 1 day
Secondary Range Of Motion Active Range of motion (AROM) was measured using cervical range of motion instrument.
CROM instrument were placed on the participants head, then the assessor asked the participant to move towards the movement direction until they reach the limit.
1 day
Secondary Muscle strength The measurement were taken for cervical flexors, extensors, right and left rotators, right and left side benders, each was done in an against gravity position. 1 day
