Brief Summary:
Upper Cross Syndrome (UCS) is characterized by weakening of the neck flexors and rhomboids and stiffness in the pectoralis major, upper trapezius, and levator scapulae. Rhomboids major and minor need to be strengthened in order to enhance scapular stability and regain proper posture. The aim of this study is to determine effect of rhomboids strength training regime on pain, craniovertebral angle and disability among patients with upper crossed syndrome.
Detailed Description:
This study will be a randomized controlled trial and will be conducted in Haleema Surgical Hospital, Shorkot city. Non-probability convenient sampling will be used to collect the data. Sample size of 38 subjects with age group between 20-45 years will be taken. Data will be collected from the patients having present complaint of upper crossed syndrome pain. Outcome measures will be taken using Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) for pain, craniovertebral angle, and neck disability index questionnaire for disability. An informed consent will be taken. Subjects will be selected on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria and will be equally divided into two groups by computer-generated stratified randomization. The study will be a single-blind assessor. Both the Groups will receive Hot Pack, TENS, posture training and stretching exercises while group A will receive rhomboids strengthening exercises additionally. Outcome measures will be measured at baseline and after 4 weeks. Data analysis will be done by SPSS version 25.
