Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Neck range of motion including flexion, extension, lateral flexion and rotation. Timepoint: Before the test and after the test after doing 6 weeks of training. Method of measurement: Using the Measure Angles Bubble Level protractor and protractor version 3.99.92 application on the iPhone 13 Pro Max smartphone.;Neck proprioception. Timepoint: Before and immediately after intervention. Method of measurement: Angle reconstruction error method to check the proprioceptive condition using laser pen and graduated plate.;Static Balance. Timepoint: Before and immediately after intervention. Method of measurement: Static balance was assessed using the Single-Leg Stance Test with Eyes Closed. In this test, the participant stands on their dominant leg on a flat surface, lifts the opposite foot off the ground, and closes their eyes. The duration for which balance is maintained without losing posture is recorded as an indicator of static balance.;Dynamic balance. Timepoint: Before and immediately after intervention. Method of measurement: Dynamic balance was assessed using the Y-Balance Test. In this test, the participant stands on one leg (the stance leg) while reaching the other leg in three directions: anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral. The maximum reach distance in each direction, without losing balance, is measured and recorded. This test is a reliable and valid method for evaluating neuromuscular control and dynamic postural stability.;Jump Distance. Timepoint: Before and immediately after intervention. Method of measurement: Lower limb power and functional performance were assessed using the Single-Leg Hop Test. In this test, the participant stands on one leg and performs a maximal forward jump, landing on the same leg. The test was performed separately for both the right and left legs. The distance from the toe at take-off to the heel at landing is measured and recorded. This test is widely used and validated for evaluating explosive muscular power, limb symmetr | — |
