Study Overview
Brief Summary
With the advent of the Internet, mobile phones and other electronic devices have become an integral component in everyone's lives, especially students, whether it is to attend classes, make purchases, conduct transactions, or have social interactions . The continuous use of these electronic devices can easily result in abnormal postures . Upper crossed syndrome (UCS) is one of the most frequently cited complications with modern technological life, which is characterized by weakened middle and lower trapezius, scalenes, deep cervical flexors and serratus anterior at the same time as the rhomboids, as well as tightness in the upper trapezius, pectoralis minor and major and levator scapulae muscles . It mainly leads to muscle imbalances, which eventually manifest in both tonic and phasic muscles

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
FVC ( liters )
Time Frame: Pre and post 8 weeks
Forced vital capacity (FVC) is the total amount of air exhaled during the FEV test. Forced expiratory volume and forced vital capacity are lung function tests , using portable spirometer ( SP 80B , China )
PEF ( liters / minute )
Time Frame: pre and post 8 weeks
Peak expiratory flow (PEF), a key indicator of lung function,using portable spirometer ( SP 80B,China)
Expiratory reserve volume ( ERV ) ( Liters )
Time Frame: pre and post 8 weeks
is the maximum amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled after a normal, tidal exhalation
FEV1 ( liters )
Time Frame: Pre and post 8 weeks
Forced expiratory volume in 1 second that can reflect pulmonary function , using portable spirometer ( SP 80B,China)
FEV1/FVC ( % )
Time Frame: pre and post 8 weeks
The ratio of the forced expiratory volume in the first one second to the forced vital capacity of the lungs. That can reflect pulmonary function , using portable spirometer ( SP 80B,China)
maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV) ( liters/minute )
Time Frame: Pre and post 8 weeks
is a pulmonary function test that measures the maximum amount of air a person can breathe in and out of their lungs in one minute
The inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) ( Liters )
Time Frame: Pre and post 8 weeks
It represents the maximum amount of air that can be inhaled after a normal inhalation
Secondary Outcomes
- 6MWDT ( meters )(Pre and post 8 weeks)
- Timed up and go test ( seconds )(Pre and post 8 weeks)
- Berg Balance Scale (BBS) to test dynamic balance(Pre and post 8 weeks)
