Upper Cross Syndrome
Conditions
Brief summary
This study is a randomised control trial and the purpose of this study is to determine the Effects of Neuromuscular Reeducation Versus Post Facilitation Stretch Technique for Upper Cross Syndrome among IT professionals .
Detailed description
The purpose of this study is to determine the Effects of Neuromuscular Reeducation Versus Post Facilitation Stretch Technique for Upper Cross Syndrome among IT professionals we make 2 groups control and treatment group . we give NMR technique to treatment group and PFS technique to control group in patients with upper cross syndrome. first we take base line readings of cervical ROM , NPRS AND neck diasbilty index. after 2 weeks of treatment again we take same readings and compare both readings. with techniques we also perform strengthning excercise of weal muscles for both groups
Interventions
PROCEDURENeuromuscular reeducation technique
5 repetitions of neuromuscular reeducation technique i.e. deep pressure along muscles origin to insertion with active movement of that muscle with 10 seconds rest of each repetitions. Control group will receive 3- 5 repetitions of Post Facilitation stretch to the tight muscles of UCS i.e. 20% maximal isometric contraction of the muscles to be stretched for 5-10 seconds followed by a rapid stretch ( through the new barrier) of 10 seconds. After stretch muscle is allowed to relax in mid range for 10 seconds.
PROCEDUREPost Facilitation Stretch
3- 5 repetitions of Post Facilitation stretch to the tight muscles of UCS i.e. 20% maximal isometric contraction of the muscles to be stretched for 5-10 seconds followed by a rapid stretch ( through the new barrier) of 10 seconds. After stretch muscle is allowed to relax in mid range for 10 seconds.
