Effects of Sahrmann's Versus Janda Approach in Lower Crossed Syndrome Patients
8 juni 2026 uppdaterad av: Riphah International University
Effects of Sahrmann's Versus Janda Approach on Pain, Pelvic Tilt and Lumbar Lordosis in Lower Crossed Syndrome Patients
Muscular imbalance due to prolonged sitting or standing posture leads to a condition lower cross syndrome(LCS) or lumbopelvic syndrome.
Several stretching and strengthening regimens are used to treat cross pattern of muscular tightness and weakness in LCS.
This study aims to compare the effects of Sahrmann's versus Janda's approach on pain, pelvic tilt and lumbar lordosis in lower crossed syndrome patients.

Detaljerad beskrivning
This study will be a randomized clinical trial and will be conducted in physiotherapy department of Rasheed Hospital, DHA.
Non probability convenience sampling will be used to collect data.
Sample size of 54 with age group between 18 to 40 years will be taken.
Data will be collected from the patient who fulfilled the criteria of LCS.
Outcome measures will be taken by using Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) for pain, I Handy Level for Pelvic tilt, flexible ruler for lumbar angle.
An informed consent will be taken.
Subjects will be selected on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria and will be equally divided into two groups by random number generator table.
Group A will receive Sahrmann's exercise protocol while group B will receive Janda's Approach.
Both groups will receive 10 mins heating pad and 10 mins Tens for muscle relaxation.
Outcome measures will be measured at baseline and then at 4th week.
Data Analysis will be done by IBM SPSS version 21.

Experimentell: Sahrmann's approach
Dr. Shirley Sahrmann's approach-rooted in her concept of Movement System Impairment (MSI) Syndromes-takes a functional, movement-based approach to postural dysfunctions like lower crossed syndrome (LCS).
Rather than treating LCS strictly as a static structural cross-syndrome, her model emphasizes analyzing how the body moves in daily life

Aktiv komparator: Janda Approach
The Janda approach to Lower Crossed Syndrome (LCS) corrects muscle imbalances caused by prolonged sitting or poor posture.
It targets an alternating "cross" of tight and weak muscles-specifically tight hip flexors/lower back muscles and weak glutes/abdominals-to relieve low back pain and restore proper pelvic alignment.

Numeric pain rate scale (NPRS) for pain
Tidsram: upto 4 weeks
|
The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NRS) is an 11-point, standardized assessment tool used to measure subjective pain intensity.
Ranging from 0 ("no pain") to 10 ("the worst pain imaginable"), it provides healthcare providers with a quick and reliable method to evaluate pain severity, track symptom changes, and measure treatment effectiveness

Flexible Ruler for lumbar Lordosis (degree)
Tidsram: upto 4 weeks
|
To measure lumbar lordosis using a flexible ruler (flexicurve), mold it to the curvature of your spine from T12 to S2. Trace the curve onto paper to find the curve's length (\(L\)) and the maximum perpendicular height (\(H\)).
Calculate the angle in degrees using the equation: \(\theta = 4 \times \arctan(2H/L)\).
|
upto 4 weeks
|
|
I Handy Level for Pelvic tilt(degree)
Tidsram: upto 4 weeks
|
The examiner performed the process three times, and during those three trials, the best view was acquired, the normal average anterior pelvic tilt angle is 9.6±3.5 and 11.7±3.8° in males and females, respectively
