Summary

The objective of the study will be to determine the effects of Sequential Core Stability Corrective Exercise Approach for Alignment and Muscle Function in Lower Crossed Syndrome.

Detailed description

Lower Crossed Syndrome is one of common postural disorder which occurs due to the muscular imbalance. It refers to specific altered muscle activation and movement patterns along with some postural deviations. Alterations in muscle activation include overactivity of hip flexors and lower back muscles paired underactivity of abdominals and gluteus muscle. This pattern of imbalance creates dysfunction. Postural correction exercise with inner and outer core muscles are necessary. There are different traditional structural approach, functional approach and biomechanics and are presumed to lead to adjustments in the length and strength of local muscles while ignoring other related malalignments and core stability. The objective of the study will be to determine the effects of Sequential Core Stability Corrective Exercise Approach for Alignment and Muscle Function in Lower Crossed Syndrome. It will be a randomized controlled trial. Sample size will be collected after running the pilot study. The participants will be recruited through convenient sampling technique and then allocated randomly to Groups. Outcome measures will be alignment and muscle function. Pre and post reading and after one month follow-up will be recorded. Data will be analyzed using statistical package for social sciences software version 25. After assessing normality of data by Shapiro-Wilk test, it will be decided either parametric or nonparametric test will be use within a group or between two groups.
