Effects of Sahrmann's Approach in Patients With Cervical Extension Syndrome

8. juni 2026 oppdatert av: Riphah International University

Effects of Sahrmann's Approach on Pain, Range of Motion, Craniovertebral Angle and Function in Patients With Cervical Extension Syndrome

Cervical Extension Syndrome (CES) is a form of postural dysfunction under the Movement System Impairment (MSI) classification. It has more prevalence among adults due to prolonged poor posture and sedentary lifestyles. This condition involves a forward head position,, increased thoracic curve, and altered movement patterns. This resulting in neck pain and impaired function. The Sahrmann's approach is a biomechanical principle that puts emphasizes on muscle activation, correction of postural impairments, and restoration of movement control through targeted exercises. The objective of the study will be to compare the effects of Sahrmann's Approach on Pain, ROM, craniovertebral angle and function in patients with Cervical Extension Syndrome.

Detaljert beskrivelse

This randomized controlled trial will investigate the effects of Sahrmann's corrective exercises on pain, range of motion, craniovertebral angle, thoracic curve and function in individuals with CFS. Total sample size 54 is calculated by GPower and participants aged 20-40 years will be recruited from Femwell Physio Clinic, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital and University of Lahore Teaching Hospital Lahore using non- probability consecutive sampling. Subjects will be randomly assigned to either Group A (conventional physiotherapy) or Group B (Sahrmann's approach) through sealed opaque envelopes. Group A will follow a standard treatment, while Group B will perform Sahrmann's corrective exercises for cervical extension syndrome. Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) for pain, Universal Goniometer (UG) for craniovertebral angle, Inclinometer for thoracic kyphosis and cervical range of motion and Neck Disability Index (NDI) for function will be assessed at baseline and after 6 weeks. Data will be analyzed using SPSS v25 to determine the comparative effects of both interventions.

Våpen og intervensjoner

Deltakergruppe / Arm
Intervensjon / Behandling
Eksperimentell: Sahrmann's exercises

Shirley Sahrmann's approach is based on the concept that repetitive movement and sustained postures can create movement impairments, leading to pain and dysfunction. Rather than simply strengthening weak muscles or stretching tight ones, Sahrmann focuses on identifying and correcting faulty movement patterns.

Patients will receive Sahrmann's Corrective Exercises for Cervicale Extension Syndrome.
Annen: Sahrmann's Exercises

Hva måler studien?

Primære resultatmål

Resultatmål
Tiltaksbeskrivelse
Tidsramme
Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)
Tidsramme: upto 4 weeks

he NPRS is an 11-point self-reported scale used to assess the intensity of neck pain. Participants rate their average pain over the previous 24 hours on a scale from 0 to 10.

Scoring:

0 = No pain 1-3 = Mild pain 4-6 = Moderate pain 7-10 = Severe pain

Direction of Improvement:

Lower scores indicate less pain and improvement.
upto 4 weeks
Craniovertebral Angle (CVA) - Forward Head Posture
Tidsramme: upto 4 weeks

Description:

The CVA is used to quantify forward head posture. It is measured as the angle formed between:

A horizontal line passing through the spinous process of C7. A line connecting C7 to the tragus of the ear.

Scoring:

Smaller angle = Greater forward head posture. Larger angle = Better head-neck alignment.

Typical values:

<48° = Forward head posture

≥50° = More normal alignment

Direction of Improvement:

Increase in CVA indicates improvement.
upto 4 weeks
Neck Disability Index (NDI) - Functional Disability
Tidsramme: upto 4 weeks

Description:

The NDI is a self-administered questionnaire consisting of 10 items assessing the impact of neck pain on daily activities.Scoring:

Each item scored from 0-5.

Total score:

0-50 points

Interpretation:

0-4 = No disability 5-14 = Mild disability 15-24 = Moderate disability 25-34 = Severe disability

≥35 = Complete disability

Direction of Improvement:

Lower scores indicate reduced disability and better function.
upto 4 weeks
Cervical Range of Motion (CROM)
Tidsramme: upto 4 weeks

Description:

Cervical ROM will be measured in:

Flexion Extension Right lateral flexion Left lateral flexion Right rotation Left rotation

The participant performs active cervical movements while the examiner records the maximum range in degrees.

Units:

Degrees (°)

Typical Normal Values:

Flexion: 45-50° Extension: 60-70° Lateral flexion: 45° Rotation: 70-90°

Direction of Improvement:

Greater ROM values indicate improvement.
upto 4 weeks
Thoracic Kyphosis Angle
Tidsramme: upto 4 weeks

Description:

Thoracic kyphosis will be measured in standing using a dual inclinometer technique. One inclinometer is placed over the spinous process of T1-T2 and the second over T12-L1. The difference between the two readings represents the thoracic kyphosis angle.

Units:

Degrees (°)

Interpretation:

Increased angle = Greater thoracic kyphosis Reduced angle = Improved thoracic posture

Typical values:

Approximately 20-40° in healthy adults

Direction of Improvement:

Reduction toward normal values indicates improvement.
upto 4 weeks
