Filter by:Upper cross syndrome (UCS) is a common muscles related postural disorder which is increasing every new day that is affecting the health related quality of life. It is most prevalent amongst the individuals who work at computers or laptops, or on desks. The UCS is caused by poor posture. Weak core musculature leads to poor body posture causing chronic degenerative changes and disturbing body alignment and body equilibrium. Core stability exercises (CSE) are a good strategy to improve body posture. The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of muscle energy technique (MET) combined with the strengthening of deep neck flexors with and without core stability exercise to manage Upper Cross Syndrome (UCS) patients.
This study aims to determine the effect of McKenzie exercises with and without Sustained Natural Apophyseal glide on pain, disability, and craniocervical angle in adults with Text neck syndrome.
The main objective of this study is to find the effects of breathing exercises on cardiorespiratory parameters in subjects with forward head posture. This will be a Randomized Clinical Trial study with two different breathing exercises which include Diaphragmatic Breathing Exercise (DBE) for Treatment group A individuals and Thoracic Extension Exercise (TEE) for Treatment Group B individuals will be performed along with ergometric advices. Each exercise session will be done three times per week for total over a period of 12 weeks. Outcomes will be measured at baseline, 6th and 12th week with photogrammetry method for craniovertebral angle (CVA) and spirometer for pulmonary function test values (PFTs).
This study aims to determine the effect of combining diaphragmatic exercises with cervical retraction exercise on pain, disability, active range of motions of cervical spine and craniovertebral angle in individuals with forward head posture.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effect of nerd neck correction on damaged jaw in people who suffers from jaw problems and nerd neck. The main question it aims to answer: - whether there are different effects of traditional nerd neck correction exercises, device correction method and dental splints on jaw features of pain and function. Participants will: - participants will be given the consent to sign first. - participants will be assessed to check jaw pain and function. - participants will be divided randomly into 3 groups. - Each group will be given the treatment sessions for 6 weeks. - participants will come back after 6 weeks for one last assessment. Researchers will compare traditional, new and dental treatment groups to see if there is improvement in jaw characteristics.
The aim of the study is to compare the effect of scapular stabilization versus thoracic extension exercises on pain, disability, range of motion, and cranio-vertebral angle in young adults with Text Neck Syndrome.
The aim of the study is to compare effects of McKenzie Retraction exercises and Bruegger's exercise on neck pain, ROM, craniovertebral angle and functional performance on forward head posture among young adults.
to investigate the effect of mobile phone addiction with forward head posture on the endurance of deep neck flexor muscles, respiratory functions, pain pressure threshold , and neck functional disability level.
The goal of this Randomized, Double-Blind, Clinical Trial is to investigate the effects of scapulothoracic exercises on postural stability, muscle strength, muscular endurance, mandibular functions and proprioception in sedentary individuals aged 18-45 years with head forward posture and temporomandibular joint dysfunction (Cranio-Cervico-Mandibular Malalignment). The main questions it aims to answer are: • Do Scapulothoracic exercises given in addition to cervical posture exercises have an effect on postural stability, proprioception, muscle strength, muscular endurance and mandibular functions in individuals with Cranio-Cervico-Mandibular malalignment? Researchers will compare conventional neck exercises (control group) and scapulothoracic exercises applied in addition to conventional neck exercises (treatment group) to see the effects of scapulothoracic exercises on the neck and jaw area.
This study investigates the effects of specific corrective exercises on EMG of masticatory and cervical muscles in patients with forward head posture. The study's design will be a prospective, double- blinded, randomized controlled trial. The participants will be randomly allocated to one of two groups: the exercise group and the control group. The training groups will perform a program consisting of two strengthening (deep cervical flexors and shoulder retractors) and two stretchings (cervical extensors and pectoral muscles) exercises. This exercise program will be repeated 4 times per week for 10 weeks, and each session lasted 30 minutes. The pre/post assessment of forward head posture will measure by using craniovertebral angle CVA. While the muscle activity EMG of the masseter, temporalis, splenius, upper trapezius, and SCM will measure pre and post-assessment using a biopic data acquisition system. There will be a high significance increase (p-value 0.000) between the pre-and-post CVA between the training groups and the control. And there will be a significant decrease in EMG of the masseter, temporalis, splenius, upper trapezius, and SCM across exercise groups compared to the control. As per the results and analysis, specific postural corrective exercises effectively decrease the EMG of masticatory and cervical muscles in patients with forward head postures.
