简要总结
In high heel users, most of the previous work has focused on the lower limb. However, we did not find any study that specifically targeted the lumbar region. The novelty of this study lies in raising awareness that high heel users experience a full-body postural disturbance. While studies had involved the lower limb, but it is crucial to also include the lumbar region. This is because high heel users often feel more pain in the lower limb, which may be leading us to focus solely on lower limb and neglect the lumbar region. However, the mechanics of the lumbar region are also deteriorating along with the lower limb, which may lead to musculoskeletal related issues to high heel users in future. In Pakistan, no previous research is conducted, That compare the effect of Graston Technique Versus DOST in female wearing high heels and its impact on posture.
详细描述
The consequences of wearing high heels included increased bending of the hips and knees, anterior pelvic tilting, and increased lumbar lordosis in the spine. Wearers of high heels reported reduced dorsiflexion. The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of Graston technique and Dynamic Oscillatory Stretch (DOST) technique in improving lumbar lordosis, anterior pelvic tilting and function status in high heel users. This study is randamized control trial. The sample size of this study is 30 participants which would be divided into two group, 15 each. Non-probability Convenience sampling will be used and participants are randomly assigned into Group A (Graston Technique) Group B (DOST) through envelope sealed method after baseline assessment . The participants of both group were evaluated on three occasions; (i) baseline, (ii) 5th session and (iii) 12th session.

研究组 & 干预措施
Graston Technique
Experimental Group A: Graston technique on calf and Paraspinal (erector spinae) muscles with conservative physiotherapy treatment plan i.e. hot pack for 10-15 min (calf muscles) calf stretches (10 reps x 2 sets) and post session cold pack for 5 min.
干预措施: Graston Technique (Other)
Dynamic Oscillatory Stretch Technique (DOST)
Experimental Group B: Dynamic oscillation stretching technique on gastrocnemius, soleus, and hamstring with conservative physiotherapy treatment plan i.e. hot pack for 10-15 min (calf muscles) calf stretches (10 reps x 2 sets) and post session cold pack for 5 min.
干预措施: Dynamic Oscillatory Stretch Technique (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Flexicurve Ruler
时间窗: 3 week
The Flexicurve ruler allows us to measure the curves of your spine. The Flexicurve is a strip of flexible metal covered in plastic. It will place at the top of the back then gently bend it so it reflects the shape of the backbone.
Inclinometer
时间窗: 3 week
Inclinometer is a specialized tool used to measure angles and range of motion of joints. It is used to measure pelvic tilt.
次要结局
- Gonimeter(3 week)
- Lower Extremity Functional Scale(3 week)
