ET – electro/thermal therapy; MET – muscle energy technique; CM – cervical mobilization; JPE – joint position error. Values are mean±SD unless otherwise indicated. ^* Kruskal-Wallis H test; ^ Wilcoxon signed-rank test; ^* Quade test (non-parametric ANCOVA); d – effect size; ^x,y – there is a significant difference between groups with different letters.
