Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Group A
32 participants will be in control group,they will only perform lower tapezius strenghtening excercise and will not perform scapular mobility excercises.
Other: lower trapezius strenghtening excercise
32 participants will be in control group who will perform strenghtening excerise of lower trapezius
Experimental: Group B
32 participants will be in experimental group,they will perform scapular mobility excercise
Other: scapular mobility exercise
32 participants will be in experimental group who will perform scapular mobility exercise

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
NECK DISABILITY INDEX (NDI SCALE)
Time Frame: 8 weeks

Each section of NDI is scored on a 0 to 5 rating scale, in which zero means 'No pain' and 5 means 'Worst imaginable pain'.

Points summed to a total score. The test can be interpreted as a raw score, with a maximum score of 50, or as a percentage.

0 points or 0% means : no activity limitations , 50 points or 100% means complete activity limitation. A higher score indicates more patient-rated disability. it should be noted before exercise and after 8 week of exercise in uni lateral neck pain players .

BENCHMARK FOUND; 1.0-4points (0-8%) no disability, 2.5-14points ( 10 - 28%) mild disability, 3.15-24points (30-48% ) moderate disability, 4.25-34points (50- 64%) severe disability, 5.35-50points (70-100%) complete disability
8 weeks
NPRS
Time Frame: 8 weeks

The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) (an outcome measure) that is a uni-dimensional measure of pain intensity in adults with chronic pain.

the 11-point numeric scale ranges from '0' representing one pain extreme (e.g. "no pain") to '10' representing the other pain extreme (e.g. "pain as bad as you can imagine" or "worst pain imaginable").

we measure snooker players pain on a scale before exercise and after exercise to find pretest and posttest pain intensity.
8 weeks
GONIOMETER
Time Frame: 8 weeks
we measure cervical range of motion in flexion and extension through goniometer before performing exercise and after strenghtening and mobility exercise
8 weeks
