简要总结
Lower Cross Syndrome happens when there is muscular imbalance between weak and tight muscles. The tight muscles are generally the hip flexors and erector spinae, and weak muscles are the abdominals and gluteal muscles. Shortening occurs in the hip flexors while weakening occurs in the abdominals and gluteal muscles.
详细描述
Group I (Study): will consist of 20 patients with lower cross syndrome and will receive extracorporeal shock wave in addition to conventional physical therapy program. For 12 sessions every other day, each session for 1 hour.
Group II (Control): will consist of 20 patients with lower cross syndrome and will receive sham extracorporeal shock wave in addition to conventional physical therapy program only same as group (I). For 12 sessions every other day, each session for 1 hour.
