About this trial
This study will be a Randomized Clinical Trial in which Scapular Stabilization Exercises and Eccentric Muscle Energy technique will be applied on the individuals with upper crossed syndrome and changes will be recorded using different method and tools. Convenient sampling technique will be used to collect the data. The sample size of 34 patients will be recruited. Patients will be randomly allocated into two different groups through sealed envelope method. 17 patients will be allocated in each group. Group A will be treated with Scapular Stabilization Exercises along with hot pack; Group B will be treated with Eccentric Muscle Energy Technique along with hot pack. Craniovertebral Angle (CVA), Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), and Neck Disability Index (NDI) will be used as Data collecting tools.
