Stretching With And Without Pressure Biofeeback In Patients With Postural

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Postural syndrome describes a variety of conditions in which repetitive or continued bad posture over a long period of time causes pain and reduced function in the muscles and joints. Improper posture can cause pain throughout the length of the spine from the neck to the pelvis. Modern sedentary style of living is one of the main reasons for postural abnormalities evident in modern society. The prolonged sitting hours required in most of the jobs, and educational setups can affect flexibility of soft tissues, especially two joint muscles. Bad posture while standing or walking, if left uncorrected, can worsen over time and lead to pain and dysfunction. Hamstring is a key component of flexibility in the human body and it is more prone to get tightened. Many reasons can lead to the development of hamstring tightness such as genetic predisposition, injury to muscle, and adaptive shortening due to some chronic condition. Short hamstring muscles, because of their attachments to the posterior leg and to the ischial tuberosity, may limit hip flexion ROM and induces posterior pelvic tilt and decreased lumbar lordosis, which can result in LBP The purpose of this study will be to find out the effects of stretching with and without pressure biofeedback unit (PBU) on hamstring muscle flexibility in patients with postural syndrome. The active knee extension (AKE) test will be used to determine the length of the hamstring muscles using a goniometer. A PBU will be used to maintain the anterior pelvic tilt position during active knee extension (AKE) test or stretching, by monitoring the pressure of airbag. Patients will be recruited into study by convenient sampling technique after that will be allocated to groups by simple random assignment. All participants will actively stretch three days per week for four weeks. After collecting data from defined study setting, data will be entered and analyzed by using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) for Windows software, version 25.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
