“…Gong's mobilization demonstrated significantly reduced pain, and improved function, ROM, cervical strength, and posture with P<0.05. Similarly, a study conducted by Harsulkar et al reported positive results for Gong's mobilization in terms of pain, ROM, and posture [19].…”

Objectives: To determine the impact of Kendall versus Gong’s intervention according to pain sensation, range of movement, function, strength, and posture in cases with text neck syndrome. Methods: This randomized clinical trial recruited a sample of 24 patients with text neck syndrome from Fatima Hospital, Sargodha, Pakistan from January to April 2021. The samples were randomly divided into 2 groups using the envelope method. Group A received Kendall’s intervention while group B received Gong’s mobilization. The intervention was performed in 18 sessions for each patient during 6 weeks i.e. 3 per week. Neck disability index, numeric pain rating scale, cervical range of motion (ROM), cranio-vertebral angle (CVA), rounded shoulder angle (RSA), and modified sphygmomanometer test were used to collect data. All outcomes were measured at baseline and six weeks after intervention and analyzed using SPSS software, version 23. T-test was used to analyze within and between-group differences, and P<0.05 was considered significant. Results: A significant difference with P<0.05 was observed for within and between group statistics. Gong’s mobilization showed more effectiveness (P<0.001) for all output measures depending on differences between mean scores. Discussion: The study concluded that both Kendall’s exercise and Gong’s mobilization were useful in the reduction of pain and functional disability; improvement in cervical range and strength of cervical muscles. However, Gong’s mobilization was superior to Kendall’s exercise in improving text neck syndrome for outcome measures, including neck pain, disability, craniovertebral angle, rounded shoulder angle, cervical range of motion (ROM), and cervical muscle strength.

Discomfort and stiffness in the shoulder joint are the main causes of a frozen shoulder. The main contributing factor to frozen shoulder is typically co-morbid disorders like diabetes mellitus and hypertension. Adhesive capsulitis is another name for a frozen shoulder. Range of motion is the main aspect that is targeted when the illness slowly worsens. The three stages of a frozen shoulder are the freezing stage, the frozen stage, and the thawing stage. Physical therapy plays an important role in providing relief for this condition, but the usual conservative management is more time-consuming, so a patient with a frozen shoulder is managed along with Gong's mobilization and the usual conservative management is given for two weeks. This case report aims to show the result of Gong's mobilization in two weeks. Further, in this case report, the proper procedure for the Gong's mobilization is explained.

Objectives: Lumbar spondylosis is described as a degenerative condition whose symptoms recur over a period of time. Hence, the objective of this study is to find out the effect of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and mechanical intermittent lumbar traction (MILT) (conventional therapy) with or without facetal joint mobilization in lumbar spondylosis for speedy and long-term recovery.Method: A total of 60 subjects clinically diagnosed with lumbar spondylosis of age between 40 and 60 years were recruited and divided into two groups (Groups A and B) with baseline treatment of TENS and MILT given to both groups and facetal joint mobilization along with baseline treatment given to the study group. Pre-and post-intervention outcome were measured using visual analog scale (VAS) for pain and modified Schobers test (MST) for a range of motion.Result: Results showed extremely significant improvement in VAS and MST score in Group A. Conclusion:Facetal joint mobilization along with TENS and MILT is effective in relieving pain and improving range of motion in lumbar spondylosis.
