For study I
At first,
medical doctor (physiatrist) will screen neck pain participants according to eligible criteria. If the participants will be eligible,
researcher will explain about study and then research assistant will get sign from participants in inform consent form. The participants will be interviewed and resulted based line demographics data w
reliability of these test will be found out in first ten participants. Standard practice of the clinic involves independent examination from two physical therapists during every initial consultation.

the inverted supinator reflex,
finger escape sign,
Tronmer sign,
Biceps reflex,
Triceps refex,
Patellar tendon reflex,
Achilles Tendon reflex,
Babinski sign,
and clonus,
during a 2-
hour educational session. Both clinicians will agree upon what constituted a positive test and how to perform and standardize each testing method. The results will be tested three times to find out wh
