A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON THE EFFECT OF SELF SNAGs VERSUS DYNAMIC ISOMETRIC EXERCISES IN DESK JOB PEOPLE WITH CHRONIC NECK PAIN
Background: Neck pain is a common global problem, an important source of disability Bad posture of neck with respect to chest is one of the commonest causes of chronic neck pain. This is common to the job related (e.g. computer professionals, clerks, bank employees) where the neck is kept in a flex...

Background: Neck pain is a common global problem, an important source of disability Bad posture of neck with respect to chest is one of the commonest causes of chronic neck pain. This is common to the job related (e.g. computer professionals, clerks, bank employees) where the neck is kept in a flexed position for long periods of time. The objectives of the study is to compare the effectiveness of self SNAGs with dynamic isometric exercise in chronic neck pain. Methods: It is a comparative experimental study. This study includes (N=40) desk job people with chronic neck pain subjects with age group of 25-45 years. They were randomly assigned into 2 groups (Group A and B). Group A had 20 (N=20) subjects who are treated with self SNAGs, Group B had 20 (N=20) who are treated with dynamic isometric exercise using resistance band. The subjects were given intervention once a day for 6 weeks. Results: At the end of 6 weeks, both neck pain and disability decreased in both groups, range of motion had also improved statistically significantly in both groups, but the results showed that the pain scores are significantly improved in group A( t = -2.707) which is significant at 5% level of significance (p = 0.01). It has been inferred that VAS decreases more when self SNAGs was applied and the difference of means of NDI, t = -4.468 which is highly significant (p = 0.00) implying that NDI decrease more when self SNAGs was applied as compared to dynamic isometric exercise. Conclusion: From the above study it is concluded that, self SNAGs is an effective way of decreasing pain and increasing functional ability when compared to dynamic isometric exercise using resistance band. https://www.ijphy.org/index.php/journal/article/view/122Neck painSelf SNAGSDynamic isometric exerciseResistance Band. |

Background: Neck pain is a common global problem, an important source of disability Bad posture of neck with respect to chest is one of the commonest causes of chronic neck pain. This is common to the job related (e.g. computer professionals, clerks, bank employees) where the neck is kept in a flexed position for long periods of time. The objectives of the study is to compare the effectiveness of self SNAGs with dynamic isometric exercise in chronic neck pain.
Methods: It is a comparative experimental study. This study includes (N=40) desk job people with chronic neck pain subjects with age group of 25-45 years. They were randomly assigned into 2 groups (Group A and B).
