简要总结
This study will see the effects of IASTM along with comprehensive corrective exercise program in upper cross syndrome through their effects on pain and cervical ranges as well as postural improvement. Our study targets both male and female population. In the reference study only male population was targeted which did not show effects of both techniques on the female population though females have high stress levels which may alter results.
详细描述
The upper cross syndrome involves stiffness of levator scapulae, pectoralis major and upper trapezius muscles and serratus anterior, deep neck flexors, rhomboids, middle and lower trapezius and scalene muscles weakness. Numerous bodily abnormalities such as headache, early deterioration of cervical spine and loss of cervical spine curve can be brought on by this syndrome. This syndrome can also result in thoracic spine abnormality and impaired glenohumeral joint biomechanics. Upper cross syndrome develops abnormality in head, neck and shoulder and develops in upper 1⁄4 of the trunk. The underlying causative agents of Upper cross syndrome are long surgeries, weakness, female gender, disability and poor posture. It was a randomized, controlled trial, conducted among patient with upper cross syndrome with Sample size was 44 by using G- Power software. Group A will be given IASTM with Graston's tool and comprehensive corrective exercise program and Group B will receive only comprehensive corrective exercise program. The protocol will consist of 12 sessions in total with 3 sessions a week 45 minutes / session for both groups. Assessment will be at baseline then after 2 weeks after that 2 weeks home plan for exercises and then after 4 weeks assessment will be done. Only pain will be assessed on alternative days
