Brief Summary

The study will be conducted to investigate the effect of Schroth method on balance in patients with the upper cross syndrome

Conditions

Postural; Defect

Keywords

Schroth Method; upper cross syndrome; balance

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• stability index

  stability index will be measured by Biodex balance system

  up to four weeks

  spinal mouse will be used to assess thoracic spine curvature. Total angle of the thoracic spine is 41-44 degree

  up to four weeks

Secondary Outcomes (5)

• craniovertebral angle

  up to four weeks

• pain intensity

  up to four weeks

• neck function

  up to four weeks

• Respiratory pulmonary functions

  up to four weeks

• shoulder posture

  up to four weeks

Study Arms (2)

schroth exercise

EXPERIMENTAL

the patients will receive Schroth exercise twice a week for four weeks

Other: schroth exercise; Other: postural correction exercise

postural correction exercise

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

the patients will receive postural correction exercise twice a week for four weeks

Other: postural correction exercise

Interventions

schroth exercise OTHER

the patients will receive the Schroth three-dimensional exercise. patient first assumes a posture in the cervico-cranial and shoulder girdle and the thoracic region is held in the correct posture. The patient inspires air into the concave side and during the exhalation phase isometric and isotonic muscle tensing occur. While the patient is breathing, the therapist should observe the posture and movement of the thoracic cage and diaphragm. Basic posture correction in sitting and walking and Sensorimotor training by the ball will be applied

schroth exercise

postural correction exercise OTHER

the patients will receive postural correction exercises, stretches, and exercises to the pectoralis major, elevator scapulae, upper trapezius, serratus anterior, rhomboids, and deep neck flexors. The stretches included sitting chair stretches, Brugger's, wall angels, and doorway stretches. The exercises included push up- plus, head-neck-retraction, and Kibler squeeze
