Effect Of Schroth Method On Balance In Upper Crossed Syndrome — UCS  

Postural; Defect Clinical Trial

Official title: Effect Of Schroth Method On Balance In Upper Crossed Syndrome

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The study will be conducted to investigate the effect of Schroth method on balance in patients with the upper cross syndrome

Clinical Trial Description

Upper crossed syndrome (UCS) is the most common postural dysfunction in the musculature of the shoulder girdle /cervicothoracic region, which creates joint dysfunction, particularly at the atlanto-occipital joint, cervicothoracic joint C4-C5 segment, glenohumeral joint and T4-T5 segment.

The Schroth method helps patients to halt curve progression, reverse abnormal curves, reduce pain, increase vital capacity and improve posture and appearance The Schroth method consists of sensorimotor, postural, and breathing exercises aimed at recalibration of normal postural alignment, static and dynamic postural control and spinal stability.

There are no studies on Schroth method on the upper cross syndrome, so this study will be conducted to know the effective method of treatment for upper cross syndrome.. forty patients with the upper cross syndrome will be allocated randomly to two equal groups; one experimental group will receive Schroth method twice a week for four weeks and control group will receive postural correction exercise twice a week for four weeks. ;
