Study summary

This study aims to explore the relationship between spinal alignment and functional performance in individuals with upper cross syndrome following a combined breathing and manual therapy program. It is designed as a secondary analysis of data obtained from a previously conducted randomized controlled trial, with the addition of objective spinal measurements using the Spinal Mouse device. Functional performance will be assessed using standardized tests such as the 6-minute walk test and the timed up and go test. Statistical analysis will include correlation and regression models to determine whether spinal alignment parameters can predict functional outcomes. The findings are expected to provide insight into the biomechanical role of posture in functional recovery among individuals with upper cross syndrome.

Inclusion Criteria: * Full time college students of age 20-29 years. * Subjects who have upper cross syndrome according to REEDCO posture assessment. * Subjects who not receiving medical treatment for respiratory diseases . * Subjects who have clean family medical history. Exclusion Criteria: * Subjects who engaged in additional exercise in two weeks, which was likely to affect the results of the research . * Individuals with a history of spine, shoulder fractures, surgery, or other disease. * Individuals with severe cardia-cerebrovascular disease. * Individuals who will have difficulty to follow-up testing). * Neurologic and psychiatric disorders (who can not understand the research project ). * Individuals with congenital deformities

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Spinal Alignment: Thoracic kyphosis — Pre and post 8 weeks
    Kyphosis is the forward curvature of the thoracic spine.It will be measured by The Spinal Mouse ( a hand-held, computer-assisted medical device used to measure spinal curvature, posture, and segmental mobility without radiation )
  • Spinal Alignment: Lumbar lordosis — Pre and post 8 weeks
    inward curvature of the spine when this curve becomes excessive or diminished, it can lead to discomfort and postural issues.It will be measured by The Spinal Mouse ( a hand-held, computer-assisted medical device used to measure spinal curvature, posture, and segmental mobility without radiation )
