Upper Crossed Syndrome is a common musculoskeletal disorder characterized by muscle imbalance, including weakness of the deep cervical flexors, middle and lower trapezius, rhomboids, and serratus anterior, along with tightness of the upper trapezius, levator scapulae, sternocleidomastoid, and pectoralis major and minor. This condition frequently affects university students due to prolonged sitting, extensive computer use, and poor posture. While previous research has focused on discrete components of UCS such as posture correction or pain management, the combined effects of cervical proprioception, core stability, and postural balance remain poorly understood. A total of 48 participants will be enrolled and divided into two equal groups: 24 students diagnosed with Upper Crossed Syndrome and 24 healthy students as a control group. Assessments include cervical joint position error testing, core stabilization endurance tests (Unilateral Hip Bridge Endurance Test and Sahrmann Five-Level Core Stability Test), static balance evaluation using the Balance Error Scoring System (BESS), and dynamic balance assessment using the Y-Balance Test. Pain intensity will be measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). This study will help identify neuromuscular and sensory mechanisms underlying these parameters and support evidence-based rehabilitation techniques to improve postural alignment, reduce musculoskeletal dysfunction, and enhance overall functional performance in this population.",[28],[60,61,62,63,64,65],"neck pain","cervical position sense","upper crossed syndrome","core stabilization","postural control","proprioception","RECRUITING","2026-05-15",{"date":69,"type":35},"2026-05-19",{"date":71,"type":35},"2026-04-20",{"date":73,"type":22},"2026-05-30",{"name":75,"class":42},"Istinye University",{"id":77,"slug":78,"hasResults":11,"nctId":79,"briefTitle":80,"officialTitle":81,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":82,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":17,"minAge":18,"maxAge":83,"enrollmentInfo":84,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":23,"phases":86,"briefSummary":87,"conditions":88,"keywords":89,"overallStatus":66,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":93,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":94,"startDateStruct":96,"completionDateStruct":98,"leadSponsor":100,"locationsCount":43},"100638718","comparative-effects-of-kendall-and-feldenkrais-exercise-in-upper-crossed-syndrome-100638718","NCT07578831","Comparative Effects of Kendall and Feldenkrais Exercise in Upper Crossed Syndrome","Comparative Effects of Kendall and Feldenkrais Exercise on Pain, Cervical Position Sense, Craniovertebral Angle and Function in Upper Crossed Syndrome","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Male subjects between 20-50 years\n* Female subjects between 20-50 years\n* Cranio-vertebral angle less than 50 degrees\n* Subjects who had been experiencing neck pain for more than 3 months\n* Slouched sitting for more than four hours per day\n* Usage of handheld devices while reading, working, and travelling\n* Pain intensity score between 4 to 10 on NPRS\n* NDI\\>10 scores between 10 and 34\n* Tight pectoralis major muscle\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Surgeries of the cervical spine within past 1 year\n* Surgeries or fracture to the shoulder joint\n* Cervical instability\n* Cervical Radiculopathy\n* Neurological disorders such as cervical spondylosis, spondylolisthesis, disc prolapse and rheumatic disease","50 Years",{"count":85,"type":22},72,[25],"Upper Cross Syndrome (UCS) is a prevalent musculoskeletal disorder characterized by muscular imbalances and postural dysfunction.

When applied to UCS patients, Dynamic Taping can assist in posture correction, improve posture control, and increase scapular dynamic stability. Additionally, Dynamic Taping can enhance proprioception, helping patients maintain proper posture through sensory feedback.
