Beyond Osteopathic Therapy: Functional Performance Following the Addition of Ujjayi Pranayama in College Students With Upper Cross Syndrome
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
The experimental group will perform ujjayi pranayama and osteopathic manipulative tratment: The experimental group will perform ujjayi pranayama and osteopathic manipulative treatment for 45 min sessions, 5 times a week for 8 weeks
control group will perform osteopathic manipulative treatment only: control group will perform osteopathic manipulative treatment only for 45 min sessions, 5 times a week for 8 weeks
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.
Eligibility
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 )
