Brief Summary

This randomized controlled study will examine the patient of forward head posture who suffering with upper cross syndrome. There will be comparison of two treatment methods 1st one is elongation longitudinaux articular vertebral and columnar decoaption osteo-articulaire also known as ELDOA and 2nd is upper thoracic mobilization .

Conditions

Cross Syndrome

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Tragus to wall test

  Tragus to wall test for forward head posture assessment: normal below 10 centimetres , 10.1- 12 centimetres for mild positive forward head posture,12.1-15 centimetres moderate forward head posture, less than 15 centimetres severe forward head posture.

  12 Months

• Craniovertebral angle assess

  Craniovertebral angle assess by web plot digitizer software: normal CVA value 48-50 degree, positive forward head posture less than 48 degree

  12 Months

Study Arms (2)

Interventional group I

EXPERIMENTAL

Diagnostic Test: Elongation longitudinaux articular vertebral and columnar decoaption osteo-articulaire also known as ELDOA

Interventional group II

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Diagnostic Test: upper thoracic mobilization

Interventions

Elongation longitudinaux articular vertebral and columnar decoaption osteo-articulaire also known as ELDOA DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

ELDOA targtes cervical and upper thoracic spine. ELDOA exercises involves spicific postural holds that improve forward neck posture.The goal of ELDOA is to help reduce stress and increase space in the vertebral joints so that muscles can move freely. The benefits of these stretches include joint mobility, increased fluid absorption in the discs of the spine, flexibility, improved muscle tone, postural alignment, body-mind connection, and coordination. The tension and release created by these stretches helps normalize the posture.

Interventional group I

upper thoracic mobilization DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Upper thoracic mobilization, often known as joint mobilization, is a common technique in manual therapy. In order to preserve or restore joint mobility, this approach glides and uses distraction on the joint surfaces.

Interventional group II
