Neck Pain Clinical Trial
Official title:
To Investigate the Effectiveness of Manual Therapy on Head-repositioning Accuracy and Static Postural Balance in Patients With Non-traumatic Chronic Mechanical Neck Pain.
To investigate the effect of cervical manual mobilization on head repositioning accuracy and postural balance in patients with chronic mechanical neck pain in a randomized controlled trial. Hypothesis: There is no difference between the intervention group (manual mobilization) and control group head repositioning accuracy and postural balance.
