Abstract
Background: Non specific neck pain is neck pain with no particular precise illness being identified. It is characterized as mechanical pain that located between the occiput and the 3rd thoracic vertebra and encompassing muscles with no particular etiology. Sustained natural apophyseal glides described as involving the application of an accessory passive glide to the cervical vertebrae while the patient simultaneously performs an active movement. Kinesiotape is an adhesive tape (100%) cotton {uFB01}bers which provide support and protection to soft tissues and joints, to decrease swelling and pain after injury, prompting improvement of blood circulation and lymphatic fluids drainage in the taped area. Both decrease pain, increase active range of motion and improve activities of daily living. Purpose of the study: This study was conducted to compare effect of sustained natural apophyseal glides and kinesiotape in subjects with non specific neck pain. Design of the Study: Pre-test and post-test design. Materials and Methods: Thirty subjects with non specific neck pain ages between 19-32 years old. They were divided randomly into two equal groups. group A received sustained natural apophyseal glides, infrared radiation and isometric exercises for neck muscles and their age was (26.93 ± 3) years, weight was (70.8 ± 3.2) kg, height was (169.87 ± 3.2) cm, and body mass index was (24.46 ± 0.45) kg/m². group B received kinesiotape infrared radiation and isometric exercises for neck muscles and their age was (27.4 ± 2.72) years, weight was (72.33 ± 2) kg, height was (170.6 ± 2.5) cm, and body mass index was (25 ± 0.52) kg/m² and the period of the treatment was twice per week for 6 weeks. Visual analogue scale was used to measure the pain intensity level and the inclinometer was used to measure active range of motion of the cervical spine before and after the treatment
