Official Title: Effects of Electrical Muscle Stimulation Applied Concurrently With Active Movement and Exercise Therapy in Cervical Radiculopathy: A Randomized Trial
Brief Summary:
Cervical Radiculopathy (CR) is an objective loss of sensory and/or motor function as a result of compression or irritation of the cervical spinal nerve root.The individuals with CR present with findings indicating an altered neural control of the neck musculature, leaving the cervical spine vulnerable to reactive forces.Thus, physical therapy options should mainly focus on improving muscle function of the neck.Given the promising results of electrical muscle stimulation and exercise therapy in recent…
