Conditions
Interventions
Neuro dynamic nerve gliding exercises
The participants will receive neuro dynamic nerve gliding exercises in the form of median, radial and ulnar nerve gliding exercises for 50 minutes/session (for 15 repetitions, each repetition held for 1-2 minutes with 30 seconds rest intervals between each repetition)
Sensory motor neck training
The participants will perform sensory motor neck training by using laser pointer exercise for 15 minutes/session, 3times/ week for four weeks. * The laser pointer exercise will be positioned exactly in the center of the participants' forehead and parallel to the ground. * Each participant will assume sitting position on comfortable chair at 90cm (about 3 feet) away from the target board (circles shapes), their knees and hips at 90°, their pelvis and low back resting firmly against the back of a chair and their hands resting on their knees. * Therapist will be behind the patient and will give her instructions. * Align the laser so that it will point straight at the center of the target when the head is in a neutral position * at 90 cm away from the target board. * The patient will move the head (flexion/extension/rotation), then attempts to return to the starting position * Five repetitions will be performed for each movement direction
