简要总结
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of Super Inductive System (SIS) therapy combined with conventional physiotherapy, compared to conventional therapy alone, in individuals diagnosed with Upper Cross Syndrome (UCS). UCS is a postural disorder characterized by muscle imbalances, including tightness in the upper trapezius and pectoral muscles and weakness in deep neck flexors and scapular stabilizers, leading to neck pain, postural deviations, and functional limitations.
A total of 66 participants aged 18–45 years with UCS will be randomly assigned to either the SIS + conventional therapy group or the conventional therapy-only group. Interventions will be conducted over four weeks, and outcomes will be assessed pre- and post-intervention using electromyography (EMG), pain pressure threshold, craniovertebral angle, postural assessment, kyphotic and shoulder angles, functional mobility (NDI), and cervical ROM.
The study aims to provide objective evidence on the effectiveness of SIS in improving muscle activation, posture, and reducing pain in UCS patients.
