Comparison of Immediate Changes in Cervical Range of Motion Following Cervical Extension and Downslip Mobilizations.

Conditions

• Cervical Disease

Eligibility Criteria

Sex

ALL

Age

18 Years - 45 Years

Healthy Volunteers

Accepted

Interventions

• Cervical Downslip Mobilization — OTHER
  Mobilization in supine on the C2-3 articular pillar in a direction that is caudal-medial-ventral.
• Seated Cervical Extension Glide — OTHER
  Mobilization of C2 on C3 in a direction that is dorsal, lateral, and caudal.

Study Details

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy seated cervical extension glides vs supine downslip glides, on both cervical rotation range of motion and patient comfort. Information gathered from this study may be used to help clinicians determine the most beneficial methods of cervical mobilizations as a rehabilitation tool.
