Interventions
Selected physical therapy program
Both groups will receive a selected physical therapy program in the form of trans-cutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), moist hot pack, posture education, and strengthening exercises for deep neck flexors, for 30 minutes, 3 sessions per week, for 8 weeks.
Kinetic control retraining
Each patient in the experimental group will receive kinetic control retraining for 30 minutes, 3 sessions per week, for 8 weeks. Each session is based on the progression on the motor control rating scale (MCRS) related to kinetic control management frame. For each movement direction, specific control tests will be conducted. The direction and site of the uncontrolled movement will be evaluated using special tests in accordance with the pain history of the patient. The tests will be chosen according to the patient"s symptoms; screening of all patients will be done through at least three tests in each direction according to the patient"s symptoms.
