简要总结
Upper cross syndrome is characterized by tightness of the upper trapezius and levator scapulae on the dorsal side , weakening of the deep cervical flexors centrally, and weakness of the middle and lower trapezius
Upper cross syndrome presents with forward neck posture , thoracic spine hunching , elevated and protected shoulder
Upper cross syndrome effects around 24% of school aged students, resulting in postural problems , muscle weakness and stiffness.
Children often develop postural anomalies due to poor posture caused by modern life style habits .The problem of extended for roughly 5 to 10 hour’s, classroom furniture can cause rounded upper back, and tension from carrying a backpack can lead to forward neck posture and trunk position
Upper cross syndrome is assessed by specific test which involves to evaluate the muscle tightness and weakness of the muscles and check for craniovertebtal angle for forward neck posture
Studies have been proving the effectiveness of McKenzie exercise and conventional therapy on upper cross syndrome, improving neck disability, forward neck posture , and pain in adults population but there is no study to compare the effect of McKenzie exercise and conventional therapy on pain , neck disability and craniovertebtal angle among school students with upper cross syndrome
The outcome measures will be using , neck disability index, visual analogue scale, tightness and weakness muscle test and measure craniovertebtal angle.
The time period is 8 Week’s of protocol
