Purpose: this study was conducted to compare the immediate effect of different techniques of cervical mobilization on pain intensity level and shoulder external rotators strength in chronic mechanical neck pain. Subjects: sixty chronic mechanical neck pain patients were recruited and assigned into 4 groups (3studyand one control group). The mean age of the four group A, B, C and D were SD27.6 ± 6.77,27.07 ± 6.42, 25.47 ± 5.13 and 28.8 ± 6.99 years respectively. Methods: Group A, B, C received one type of mobilization (Postero-anterior{u2013}Antero-posterior{u2013} lateral glide) in addition to Ultrasound and the control group D received only ultrasound therapy. Assessment was conducted using Lafayette muscle tester to measure shoulder lateral rotators muscle strength and VAS to measure pain intensity level UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
