Effects of Sahrmann's Versus Janda Approach in Lower Crossed Syndrome Patients
Sponsor: Riphah International University
Summary
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.
