Detaljert beskrivelse
Upper Cross Syndrome (UCS) is a frequent condition that is most commonly encountered in musculoskeletal disorders, showing a typical pattern of imbalance in muscles and neck and shoulder region joint dysfunction. It causes pain in shoulders, upper back, thoracic and cervical spine. It is frequently associated with inadequate posture or forward head position, muscular weakness, and alterations in movement patterns, leading to pain, restricted mobility, and dysfunction in the affected areas of patients suffering from UCS.
Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) is a developing rehabilitation approach based on reflex locomotion. The idea of reflex locomotion describes particular involuntary motor reactions/movement patterns that occur when firm pressure is applied to specific muscle zones. These movement patterns are standard and referred to as "global patterns". The global pattern generated from the prone position is known as "reflex creeping," whereas the one from the supine or side lying posture is known as "reflex rolling". Furthermore, some motor motions such as gripping, turning, crawling, and eventually walking occur automatically without the need for specific training in normal babies.
The National American Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) provided a corrective exercise protocol for postural malalignment. It includes 4 steps: inhibition (self-mobilization release technique targeting trigger points), lengthening (stretching techniques for tight muscles), third: activation (strengthening techniques for weak muscles), and integration (retraining all muscles through functionally progressive movements). It was successful in treating UCS.

Eksperimentell: Dynamic neuromuscular stabilization
Dynamic neuromuscular stabilization involves precise co-activation of the intrinsic muscles of the spine which forms the Integrated spinal stabilization system (ISSS) and includes cervical flexors and extensors, diaphragm, transversus abdominis, multifidus and pelvic floor. Participants will receive DNS for 6 weeks. |

Eksperimentell: Corrective exercises
National Academy of sports medicine corrective exercises that involve 4 steps : First: Inhibition for tight muscles Second: Lengthening for tight muscles Third: Activation for weak muscles fourth: Intergration to retrain all muscles through functionally progressive movements using integrated dynamic movements. Participants will receive NASM corrective exercises for 6 weeks. |
It is corrective exercise protocol, which includes four phases, i.e. inhibit, lengthen, activate, and integrate stage
