Effects of ELAVl and CDOA vs Upper Thoracic Mobilization on Forward Head Posture in Upper Cross Syndrome

N/AActive Not RecruitingNCT06739889

Superior University42 enrolled

Overview

This randomized controlled study will examine the patient of forward head posture who suffering with upper cross syndrome. There will be comparison of two treatment methods 1st one is elongation longitudinaux articular vertebral and columnar decoaption osteo-articulaire also known as ELDOA and 2nd is upper thoracic mobilization .

This study includes 42 participants, both male and female, age between 20 to 45. ELDOA target the cervical and upper thoracic spine to improve range of motion, restore normal cervical and thoracic spine alignment and reduce muscle tension. Upper thoracic mobilization improve thoracic spine mobility and enhance cervical spine alignment.

Interventions

Elongation longitudinaux articular vertebral and columnar decoaption osteo-articulaire also known as ELDOADIAGNOSTIC_TEST

ELDOA targtes cervical and upper thoracic spine. ELDOA exercises involves spicific postural holds that improve forward neck posture.The goal of ELDOA is to help reduce stress and increase space in the vertebral joints so that muscles can move freely. The benefits of these stretches include joint mobility, increased fluid absorption in the discs of the spine, flexibility, improved muscle tone, postural alignment, body-mind connection, and coordination. The tension and release created by these stretches helps normalize the posture.

upper thoracic mobilizationDIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Upper thoracic mobilization, often known as joint mobilization, is a common technique in manual therapy. In order to preserve or restore joint mobility, this approach glides and uses distraction on the joint surfaces.
