Comparison of Pilate Exercises With and Without Whole Body Vibration in Patient With Upper Cross Syndrome

Nowadays, bad habits brought about by technology such as overuse of mobile phones, televisions, computers, and tablets, resulted in negative impacts on health. Bending in abnormal positions while using these devices causes various mechanical loads on the neck and upper back area, rounded shoulders from increased thoracic kyphosis etc., and this leads to poor posture that can cause UCS. Because of high prevalence of RSP especially in modern societies , proper treatment of this problem is necessary for prevention of further complications.There are different exercise regimes for RSP such as strengthening of lengthened muscles, scapular stabilizers, stretching of shorten muscles especially pectoral muscles, and soft tissue mobilization but Whole-Body Vibration (WBV) is a new method introduced since the last decade and there is no comparison available in the literature of upper cross syndrome between WBV with Pilate exercises on postural correction The aim of the study is to compare effects Comparison of pilot exercises with and without whole body vibration on posture , disability and pain in patients with upper cross syndrome A randomized clinical trial will be conducted at PESSI.. Non-probability convenience sampling will be used, and 56 subjects, age 20-40 years will be randomly allocated into two groups by lottery method after meeting the inclusion criteria. Both groups will receive hot pack for 15-20 minutes and Pilate exercise perform both group as common treatment. Group A will be treated with pilate exercises and Group B will be treated with pilate exercise with whole body vibration Both groups received two sessions per week for four consecutive weeks by another well trained physical therapist. Session duration for both groups ranged from 55 minutes to 1 hour. 2 sessions per week and total 8 sessions for 4 weeks. The outcome measures will be conducted through NPRS,NDI,RSP WAS MEASURED IN SUPINE POSITION AND THEN PML AND TSD before and after 4 weeks. Data will be analyzed using SPSS software version 26.
