5. Aside from the experimental intervention, were the groups treated equally? (co-intervention, compliance) What was the intervention? What was the difference between the groups?

Aside from the experimental intervention all the groups were treated equally. The intervention consisted of the preferred mobilization group receiving the unilateral PA pressure on the side of the symptoms (ipsilateral). The random mobilization group received 1 of the following 3 mobilization techniques that could be applied in the clinic as a placebo intervention: the central PA, ipsilateral unilateral PA, or contralateral unilateral PA pressure.

6. Overall, are the results of the study valid? Why or why not?

Overall the results of this study were valid because the researchers created a hypothesis that they then tested with a research design that measured whether patients suffering from unilateral mechanical neck pain preferred mobilization or the ipsilateral unilateral PA mobilization technique.

The results of the current study suggest that, in patients suffering from unilateral mechanical neck pain, the preferred mobilization or the ipsilateral unilateral PA mobilization is no more effective than the random mobilization.

The benefits would not be significant and efficient enough to worth the cost since the findings do not support the empirical guideline that recommends using the unilateral PA mobilization on the painful side as a preferred mobilization for treating patients presenting with unilateral neck pain. This treatment would probably not be reimbursed by insurance companies if the cost were significantly more, since the study showed that there was no significant difference in the use of this treatment.

9. If this particular study recommends that this intervention is not effective and you still decide to include it with your case presentation, please explain why you have decided you would do so.

I would not recommend including this intervention in the case presentation because it was….....
