Brief Summary:
Cervical Postural Syndrome is an uncomfortable and painful condition characterized by a protruding chin and rounded shoulders commonly resulting from poor posture in the neck middle back and shoulders This syndrome often leads to an excessive forward curvature of the upper back causing the chin to jut forward and the shoulders to hunch forward A prevalent cervical abnormality associated with this condition is the forward head position which increases the risk of neck pain The entire clinical condition is referred to as sterno-symphyseal syndrome by Bruegger He describes the muscles involved as painfully tense and painfully weak Brueggers exercises are designed to align the spine correctly by strengthening the scapular and neck muscles Similarly Kendalls exercises focus on restoring cervical spine alignment particularly for individuals with forward head posture by targeting the shoulder extensors and deep neck flexors While numerous studies have examined the direct effects of forward head posture on the cervical spine there is limited research comparing the effectiveness of Brueggers exercises and Kendalls exercises particularly regarding exercises that do not directly target the neck
Detailed Description:
Cervical Postural Syndrome is a common and painful condition characterized by a projecting chin and rounded shoulders resulting from poor posture in the neck middle back and shoulders This syndrome often causes an exaggerated forward curvature of the upper back leading to a forward-protruding chin and forward-sitting shoulders The forward head position is a prevalent cervical issue that increases the risk of neck pain Bruegger refers to this condition as sterno-symphyseal syndrome describing the involved muscles as painfully tense and painfully weak Brueggers exercises aim to correct spinal alignment by strengthening the scapular and neck muscles Kendalls exercises focus on restoring cervical spine alignment especially for those with forward head posture by strengthening the shoulder extensors and deep neck flexors While many studies have examined the direct impact of forward head posture on the cervical spine there is limited research comparing the effectiveness of Brueggers exercises and Kendalls exercises particularly for exercises that do not directly target the neck
The objective of this study will be to compare the effects of Brueggers exercises and Kendalls exercises on pain range of motion craniovertebral angle and functional disability in patients with Cervical Postural Syndrome
A randomized clinical trial will be conducted at Rasheed Hospital using a non-probability convenient sampling technique on 36 patients who will be divided into two groups One group will follow the Brueggers exercises protocol while the other group will follow Kendalls exercises The protocol duration will be six weeks with sessions three times a week Each session will consist of one set of 10 repetitions for each movement repeated for three sets with a 10-second rest per repetition a one-minute rest after each set and a three-minute rest between each movement Outcome measures will include pain range of motion craniovertebral angle and functional disability Data will be collected before and after the training sessions The data will be entered and analyzed using SPSS version 25 and the Shapiro-Wilk test will be applied to determine the normality of the data
