Effect of Cervical Traction on Balance in Cervical Radiculopathy

A randomized clinical trial aiming to assess the effect of cervical traction, using different loads, on balance parameters among patients with common cervical radiculopathy. Authors hypothesized that as cervical traction alleviate radicular pain and improve function it may also improve patient balance parameters. Three different loads of traction are compared Main outcome measures are balance parameters (clinical and stabilometric). Patients are followed for during six months.
