Summary

This study will be a randomized controlled trial conducted to investigate the effect of release of upper track of deep front fascial line on patients with Upper Cross Syndrome.A sample size of 40 will be randomly allocated to two group ,(20 participants in each group), by using computer-generated random number list method. Experimental group will receive release of upper track of deep front fascial line in addition supervised corrective exercises for upper crossed syndrome and Control group which will receive supervised corrective exercise only. Both groups will receive eight sessions (2 sessions per week for 4 weeks).

Detailed description

Upper Cross Syndrome is a characterized by muscular imbalance of skeletal muscles activation and inhibition rather than just single muscle involvement. Individuals who present with upper crossed syndrome will show a forward head and neck posture Working in abnormal posture for prolonged duration is the main risk factor. Although this posture does not necessarily lead to pain, but when prolonged, individuals do often experience upper back and neck pain.Stress on cervico-cranial and Cervico-thoracic junction is caused by the poor posture .Some postural patterning of forward shoulders, increases kyphosis, forward head posture, and loss of cervical lordosis is created by this poor posture. Many researches studied effect of Exercises, stretching ,muscle energy technique,active release technique.Research on fascia gains more and more attention in basic science. Fascial tissue plays an important role not only in functional anatomy,but also in sport and exercise science as well as in numerous therapeutic approaches as well as in clinical rehabilitation.Accordingly,There is no studies in the literature investigated the the effect of release of upper anterior track of deep front fascial line in subjects with upper cross syndrome, therefore this is the purpose study.
