Clinical Trial Summary

The study will be conducted to investigate the effect of Pilates exercise on spinal curvature and 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. Pilates is designed as a program that will work with other exercise programs to strengthen, rebalance and realign the body. Pilates trains individuals to identify their own musculoskeletal strengths and weaknesses and equips them with the knowledge to correct and rebalance their entire body mechanics (Worth,2004) thus, the focus is also placed on improving personal body awareness which further decreases the risks of strain or injury that can occur with imbalances. forty patients with UCS will be allocated randomly into two groups; one experimental group will receive pilates exercise and postural correction twice a week for four weeks, and the control group will receive postural correction exercise along twice a week for four weeks ;
