About this trial
Correlation Between Upper Cross Syndrome and Neck Proprioception
Hypothesis:
No statistically significant relationship exists between upper cross syndrome and neck proprioception.
Study Design:
Randomized Controlled Trial
Participants:
Office workers (≥4h computer use/day) Age: 28-48 years Chronic nonspecific neck pain (\>3 months) Forward head posture (FHP) \<46° VAS score: 3-8 cm No cognitive impairments affecting participation
Exclusion Criteria:
Systemic, rheumatic, or neuromuscular diseases Neurological signs, spinal surgery, or recent physical therapy Missing ≥3 consecutive or 4 nonconsecutive sessions
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
office workers (using a computer at least 4 h),
aged between 28 and 48 years,
NP between 3 and 8 cm on a visual analog scale (VAS) (from 0 indicating no pain at all to 10 indicating unbearable pain),
chronic nonspecific neck pain lasting for more than 3 months, and FHP less than 46° (Fathollahnejad et al., 2019).
Disqualifiers
specific causes of NP (e.g., systemic, rheumatic, neuromuscular diseases), central or peripheral neurological signs, cognitive impairment, spinal surgery, or physical therapy treatments in the last 6 months prior to the baseline assessment.
Participants would be also excluded if they missed at least three consecutive or four nonconsecutive sessions (Fathollahnejad et al., 2019).
