Abstract Background: Cervical traction has long been defined as a distracting force that separate the cervical segments and relieve of nerve roots compression. Yet, there is lack of knowledge that reports the effects of different traction decompression angles and determines the proper angle of pull among different angles of decompression system. Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of different angles of decompression and comparing them with neck muscles stretching on flexor carpi radialis (FCR) H-reflex, neck disability index (NDI), and pain level in patients with cervical radiculopathy. Methods: Fifty-eight patients with cervical radiculopathy caused by cervical paramedian disc protrusion at C5-C6 or C6-C7 levels participated in the study |
