Effekten af core-stabiliseringsøvelser på patienter med cervikal radikulopati

4. november 2026 opdateret af: Omar Gamal Abdelbasset, Cairo University

Effekten af lumbale kropsstamme-stabiliseringsøvelser på craniovertebralvinkel og funktionelt udfald hos patienter med cervical radikulopati

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of core stabilization exercise on functional outcome and craniovertebral angle which is the angle of forward head , in adults with cervical radiculopathy. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Is there a significant effect of core stabilization exercises (CSEs) on craniovertebral angle (CVA) in patients with cervical radiculopathy?
  • Is there a significant effect of core stabilization exercises (CSEs) on functional outcome in patients with cervical radiculopathy? Researchers will compare effect of adding core stabilization exercises to conventional physical therapy program (TENS, hot pack, US, manual therapy and strengthening exercises) Vs conventional physical therapy program alone to see if there is a beneficial effect of adding core stabilization exercises to physical therapy program Participants in study group will perform core stabilization exercises in addition to conventional PT program while participants in control group will receive conventional PT program

Foranstaltningsbeskrivelse
Tidsramme
Arabic Version of Neck Disability Index (NDI)
Tidsramme: from enrollment to the end of treatment at 4 weeks

Functional outcome will be assessed though Arabic Version of Neck Disability Index (NDI) which is a 10-item self-reported questionnaire. It measures the influence of neck pain on functioning and disability. The patient will be informed that this questionnaire had been designed to give us how your pain had affected your ability to function in daily life. Personal care, lifting, reading, work, driving, sleeping, recreational activities, pain intensity, concentration, and headache are examples of these questions. Each question is assessed on a six-point scale ranging from 0 (no disability) to 5 (major disability). The score will be calculated by adding the scores of each item together. The overall score is out of 50. The results can be expressed as a percentage by multiplying the score by two. The higher NDI score, the greater patient's perceived disability due to neck pain. The Arabic version of NDI is a strong valid method for assessing self-rated disability in patients with neck pain

Tidsramme
Neck Pain
Tidsramme: from enrollment to the end of treatment at 4 weeks

Neck pain will be assessed though Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) which is used to measure the severity of neck pain. It is a straight line with one end representing no pain and the other end representing the worst imaginable pain. The subject will mark a point on the line that corresponds to the current level of pain he or she experiences. Higher values indicate higher levels of pain while lower values indicate lower levels of pain

Cervical Proprioception
Tidsramme: from enrollment to the end of treatment at 4 weeks

Cervical proprioception will be assessed through measurement of cervical Joint Position Error (JPE). Instruments that will be utilized are laser pointer device mounted on participant's head and a chart with a reference point at its center. the chart is positioned 90cm in front of patients. A test of repositioning to a neutral head position (NHP) will be carried out to determine JPE. Participants will move their head away from the start position at the center of the chart which is the NHP to full range and then attempt to reposition the head back to the starting point as accurately as possible while they are blindfolded. The difference between the starting position (zero) and the returning point in the plane of movement will be measured in centimeters and then converted to degrees using this formula angle = tan-1 [error distance/90 cm]. Normal cervical JPE is 4.5 degree. Higher values indicate poor cervical proprioception

Craniovertebral angle
Tidsramme: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 4 weeks

Craniovertebral angle ( CVA ) will be measured through lateral photography of patients. Before capturing the picture, Plastic markers will be placed on C7 vertebra and on tragus of ear. Then the picture will be uploaded to kinovea software to measure CVA by measuring the angle between a line connecting two plastic markers and the horizontal. Values more than 49 degrees are considered abnormal indicating forward head posture while values lower than 49 degrees indicate normal head position
