Effects of Mulligan Belt Traction Versus Fisted Traction in Patients With Lower Cervical Spine Radiculopathy

2026년 6월 1일 업데이트: Riphah International University

Effects of Mulligan Belt Traction Versus Fisted Traction on Pain, Range of Motion and Disability Level in Patients With Lower Cervical Spine Radiculopathy

Individuals with a lower cervical spine radiculopathy diagnosis will undergo screening to determine their eligibility based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Eligible participants will be asked for their informed consent

상세 설명

Participants will receive a unique identifying code to maintain confidentiality and be formally enrolled in the study upon obtaining informed consent. Following that, they will have baseline evaluations for outcome factors such as neck disability index, range of motion using goniometry and pain using a numerical pain rating scale. After completing the baseline evaluation, participants will be divided into two groups: Group A will receive a Mulligan Belt Traction, while Group B will receive a Fisted Traction. Every participant will get treatment for four weeks, with three sessions per week. At the conclusion of the intervention period, a post-intervention assessment will be carried out Randomization:Random allocation of participants into the two groups, Group A and Group B, will be performed by a lottery method. The participants of Group A will be managed by Mulligan Belt Traction while in Group B, participants will receive Fisted Traction. The physiotherapists will provide both interventions during a specified time period.

무기와 개입

참가자 그룹 / 팔
개입 / 치료
실험적: conventional group
Conventional physiotherapy which include cervical traction, hot pack and isometric strengthening exercises for lower cervical radiculopathy

Patient Position:

  • The Patient lies supine on the treatment table.
  • Head in neutral or slightly flexed position (according to comfort and symptoms).
  • Arms rest by the sides.

Therapist Position:

  • Therapist stands at the head end of table, therapist places the middle finger on the concerned cervical segment.
  • To maintain joint contact and control movement at the level.

Belt Placement:

  • The Mulligan belt is positioned at an angle to apply gentle traction targeting the lower cervical spine (C5-C7) (16)
  • Make sure there is no pressure on the throat or jaw.

Application of Traction:

  • While maintaining contact at the target segment, therapist leans backward, to apply gentle sustained and controlled traction (distraction force) along the line of the cervical spine.
  • This help to open up the intervertebral foramen, reduce nerve compression and restore normal joint mechanics. (17)

Duration:

• Traction is applied for 10-30 seconds per repetition, repeated 3-5 times per session base

Sit upright in a chair with back support.

• Keep your spine straight and head in a neutral position.

Hand Placement:

  • One fist is placed at the upper chest\sternum, acting as a fulcrum.
  • A towel is used between the fist and chest for comfort and positioning.(18)
  • The opposite hand is placed around the back of head (occiput).

Traction Technique:

  • The head is pulled forward and down, guiding cervical flexion over the fist.
  • Maintain for 10-15 seconds, repeat 5-10 times, depending on comfort.

주요 결과 측정

결과 측정
측정값 설명
기간
Neck Disability Index
기간: baseline to 4 week
The NDI contains 10 items - 7 relating to activities of daily living, 2 relating to pain and 1 relating to concentration items is scored from 0-5, and the total score is expressed as a percentage (total possible score, 100%), with higher scores corresponding to greater disability. Scoring the NDI: 0 - 4 = No disability 5 - 14 = Mild disability 15 - 24 = Moderate disability 25 - 34 = Severe disability 35 or over = Complete disability
baseline to 4 week
Numeric pain rating scale
기간: baseline to 4 week
The NPRS is a reliable and effective tool for measuring pain. A straight line is drawn on the evaluation sheet, labeled from '0' to '10', where '0' represents no pain and '10' indicates the worst possible pain. Patients are asked to mark a point on the line that reflects the intensity of pain they are experiencing at the time of assessment
baseline to 4 week
Cervical Range of Motion
기간: baseline to 4 week

Cervical Flexion (Looking Down) Position: The patient sits upright. Goniometer Axis: Placed at the external auditory meatus (ear). Stationary Arm: Kept perpendicular to the floor. Moving Arm: Aligned with the base of the nose. Normal Range: 0 to 45 degrees 2 Cervical Extension (Looking Up) Position: Patient remains seated upright. Goniometer Axis: Centered at the external auditory meatus. Stationary Arm: Vertical, perpendicular to the floor. Moving Arm: Follows the line of the nose. Normal Range: 0 to 45 degrees

3. Cervical Lateral Flexion (Side Bending) Position: Patient sits straight. Goniometer Axis: Over the C7 spinous process. Stationary Arm: Aligned vertically along the spine. Moving Arm: Follows the midline of the head toward the occipital bone. Normal Range: 0 to 45 degrees 4.Cervical Rotation (Turning Head Side to Side) Position: Patient remains upright. Goniometer Axis: Placed at the top center of the head. Stationary Arm: Imaginary line between both shoulder tips.
