Abstract

ABSTRACT Chronic non-specific neck pain (CNSNP) is a frequent complaint. It is a recognized medical and socioeconomic problem and a frequent cause of job absenteeism. This study was aimed to examine the combination effect of McKenzie and Kendell posture correction exercises on pain intensity and function in patients with chronic non-specific neck pain. Sixty patients with chronic nonspecific neck pain their ages between 25-50 years old from both sex where randomly assigned into two equal groups. Study group (GA) received combined McKenzie and Kendell exercise plus Conventional therapy. Control group (GB) received the Conventional therapy in a form of Hot packs, Ultrasound and cervical stretching and strengthening exercises. Both groups had three sessions per week for a month. Pain intensity and neck functional disability were measured by visual analogue scale (VAS) and neck function disability index (NDI) respectively pretreatment and four weeks after the intervention. T-test within and between groups revealed that significant reduction of pain intensity and functional disability in both groups with remarkable decrease in study group (GA) (P<0.05). Combination of Kendell and Mackenzie exercise on a regular basis was more effective as a treatment technique for reducing neck discomfort and disability in patients with chronic non-specific neck pain.
