Abstract
Abstract - Mechanical neck pain is defined as generalized neck pain provoked by sustained neck postures, neck movement and pain on palpation of cervical musculature without pathologies. Mechanical neck pain is experienced by 30 % to 50 % of the general population. Objective: 1. To find the effect of postural exercises with interferential therapy for mechanical neck pain on IT professionals with NPQ and Pressure algometer. 2.To find the effect of isometric exercises with interferential therapy for mechanical neck pain on IT professionals with NPQ and Pressure algometer. Method: STUDY DESIGN: Quasi Experimental study. SAMPLING TECHNIQUE: Convenient Sampling technique. SAMPLE SIZE: 40. Result: From statistical analysis made with the quantitative data revealed statistically significant difference between the Group A and Group B and also within the group. The post-test mean value of NPQ in experimental group was 35.365 and conventional group was 44.515. The post mean value of PRESSURE ALGOMETER in experimental group was 8.65 and in control group was 6.15 Thus experimental group has high statistical difference than control group. Conclusion: According to the findings of this study, postural exercises with IFT in the experimental group was found to be more beneficial than isometric exercises with IFT in control group in lowering pain and leading to faster recovery in participants with mechanical neck pain. Key Words: mechanical neck pain, IT professionals, NPQ scale, Pressure algometer, postural exercises, isometric exercises
