Summary

Exercises are widely regarded as the primary approach for managing cervical spondylosis. Although several studies have examined the effectiveness of multi-angle isometric exercises and dynamic exercises in patients with cervical spondylosis, their findings have been inconsistent. Further research is warranted to determine whether combining dynamic exercises with Kinesio taping can yield superior therapeutic outcomes. Additionally, there is a lack of comparative studies evaluating the relative benefits of multi-angle isometric versus dynamic exercises for individuals with cervical spondylosis. Therefore, this study aims to compare the efficacy of Multi-angle isometric exercise and Dynamic exercise, along with kinesio taping, in improving range of motion in the cervical spine, reducing pain, and improving functional disability in patients with Cervical Spondylosis. Fifty-two participants were randomly assigned to Experimental Group 1 (EG1) and Experimental Group 2 (EG2), with 26 participants in each group. EG1 received Multi-angle isometrics and Kinesio taping along with conventional physiotherapy, while EG2 received Dynamic exercise and Kinesio taping along with conventional physical therapy. Both groups were treated for 9 weeks. Goniometry and the Neck Pain and disability index were used as outcome measures.
