The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of nerve gliding exercises on pain, cervical range of motion, joint position sense, grip strength, functional status and quality of life in individuals with cervical radiculopathy.
Have been diagnosed with cervical radiculopathy by a specialist physician
Have disc herniation at the C5-C6, C6-C7 or C7-T1 level according to imaging (magnetic resonance imaging, MRI) findings (in the bulging or protrusion stage)
Have unilateral nerve root involvement
Predominance of primary peripheral entrapment neuropathy (carpal/cubital/radial tunnel, etc.)
Multiple nerve root involvement
Progressive neurological deficit
History of trauma or surgery to the cervical and upper extremity region
Parallel
Convantional rehabilitation
Other interventionThis group will have convantional rehabilitation program.
Neuromobilization
Other interventionThis group will have convantional rehabilitation program and neuromobilization exercises.
Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) will be used to evaluate pain for rest, activity and night periods. The data will be recorded in centimeters.
Cervical range of motion (CROM)
For CROM, a CROM goniometer will be used to measure cervical flexion, extension, right and left rotation, and right and left lateral flexion movements. The individual will be asked to move to the maximum extent in one direction, and the final position reached will be recorded in degrees.
Nerve cross-sectional area (CSA)
Will be measured using ultrasound imaging. The results will be recorded in mm².
Cervical joint position sense
The cervical joint position sense assessment will be performed using the CROM goniometer, targeting 30 and 50 degrees in the directions of flexion, extension, right and left rotation, and right and left lateral flexion. The deviation amount will be calculated by taking the difference between the targeted angle and the position achieved by the individual and will be recorded in degrees.
Nerve excursion measurement
It will be measured using ultrasound imaging. The results will be recorded in mm.
