IRCT20211201053244N3 IRCT 2024-12-31 University of Sistan and Baluchistan Upper cruciate syndrome UCS Comparison of the effects of Total Body Resistance Exercise (TRX) , corrective exercises, and play therapy on improving posture and balance in adolescent girls with upper cross syndrome 2024-12-05 anticipated 60 Complete https://irct.ir/trial/80225 interventional Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Supportive, Other design features: In this research, three training protocols will be used to examine the effects of these exercises on the improvement of posture and balance in adolescent girls. Additionally, the study will compare these three methods to determine the best training protocol for improving posture and balance in adolescent girls. In previous studies, only one or two types of training protocols have been used, and a comparison has been made. However, according to the researcher's knowledge, no study has yet been found that examines and compares these three training methods together. We are seeking the best approach to correct this disorder, Randomization description: Statistical sample of female students from middle school high schools for the academic year 1404-1403. In this research, a cluster sampling method will be used. Initially, through the education department of Zarand County, two schools from among six first-cycle girls' high schools in the county were randomly selected from different areas of the city. Our cluster sampling is one-stage; after being introduced to the schools, random and cluster sampling will be conducted from various areas of the city. In subsequent stages, for the division into intervention and control groups, simple randomization will be used. (After the necessary evaluations and tests, individuals diagnosed with upper cross syndrome who meet the entry and exit criteria will be divided into intervention and control groups). Through a lottery in the presence of the individuals, each person will be assigned a number from 1 to 60. The numbers will be written on paper, folded, and placed in a container (Container No. 1). Then, in another container, the names of the groups (15 slips for each group) will be folded and placed inside (Container No. 2). A lottery will then be conducted in the presence of the participants. One person will draw the number and group, and another person will record and write down the results. (One slip will be drawn from Container No. 1 and one slip from Container No. 2. For example, number 25 for the control group, number 13 for the corrective exercises group, etc.). All individuals will be grouped in this manner. The total sample size is 60 individuals. N/A Acquired deformities of limbs. Intervention 1: Intervention Group:TRX ExercisesThe number of participants in this group is 15. The duration of the exercises is 8 weeks, with 3 sessions per week, and each session lasting 1 hour. Each session will consist of 10 minutes of warm-up, 45 minutes of targeted exercises, and 5 minutes of cool-down. TRX straps will be used for the TRX exercises. TRX exercises (suspension training) are an efficient and effective method for strengthening and correcting physical issues, including upper cross syndrome. This condition is typically associated with problems such as neck, shoulder, and back pain, as well as limited mobility. TRX exercises help strengthen weak muscles and stretch tight muscles by using body weight for resistance. TRX exercises can be very beneficial in correcting upper cross syndrome, as they strengthen the weak muscles of the back and shoulders while stretching the chest and neck muscles. By combining strengthening and stretching exercises, you can improve your posture and prevent chronic pain. TRX exercises, which include full-body resistance training or suspension training, consist of a series of upper and lower body exercises. The use of these exercises as a strength training method has gained more attention from trainers and athletes in recent years due to their compactness, low cost, and safety.Weeks 1 and 2:Forearm Plank: Each set will be performed for 60 seconds, with 90 seconds of rest between sets. Three sets should be completed.- Single-Leg Squat:Each set consists of 12 repetitions, with 90 seconds of rest between sets. Three sets of this exercise should be performed.- Overhead Stretch: Each set consists of 12 repetitions, with 90 seconds of rest between sets. This exercise will also be performed in three sets.- Side Plank on Two Hands: Each set will be for 60 seconds, with three sets and 90 seconds of rest between sets.- Knee Roll-Out: 12 repetitions in each set, with 90 seconds of rest between sets. Three sets of this exercise should be performed.- Hamstring-Hip Up Stretch: Each set consists of 12 repetitions, and it will be performed three times with 90 seconds of rest between sets.Weeks 3 and 4:In these weeks, some exercises will have reduced repetitions and time:- Forearm Plank:The exercise time will be reduced to 45 seconds. Other specifications remain the same as the previous weeks.- Single-Leg Squat and Overhead Stretch: Both will be performed with 10 repetitions in each set and three sets.- Other exercises are similar to weeks 1 and 2, but the time or number of repetitions will be slightly reduced.Weeks 5 and 6:The intensity of the exercises will increase, and the number of sets will be raised to 4 sets:- Forearm Plank: Each set will be performed for 60 seconds, with 75 seconds of rest between sets. Four sets will be completed.- Single-Leg Squat:12 repetitions in each set, with 75 seconds of rest between each set. This exercise will be performed in four sets.- Overhead Stretch and other exercises will be similar to previous weeks, but the number of sets will increase to 4, and the rest between sets will be reduced to 20 seconds.Weeks 7 and 8:In these weeks, repetitions and intensity of the exercises will increase:- Side Plank on Two Hands:Each set will be performed for 60 seconds, with 75 seconds of rest. Four sets of this exercise will be executed.- Single-Leg Squat: The number of repetitions will be 14 in week 7 and 12 in week 8.- Other exercises will be similar to previous weeks, but the time or number of repetitions will increase.This TRX training program will continuously increase the intensity of the exercises and reduce rest periods to challenge the body and gradually promote progress. Intervention 2: Intervention Group: Corrective ExercisesThe number of participants in this group is 15. The duration of the exercises is 8 weeks, with 3 sessions per week, and each session lasting 1 hour. Each session will consist of 10 minutes of warm-up, 45 minutes of targeted exercises, and 5 minutes of cool-down. For corrective exercises, auxiliary tools such as medicine balls, 2-meter Pilates bands, etc., will be used. The goal of corrective exercises is to restore balance to the body's muscles. These exercises are divided into two main parts: 1. Stretching tight muscles 2. Strengthening weak muscles. To correct upper cross syndrome, corrective exercises should include a combination of stretching the chest and neck muscles and strengthening the muscles of the upper back, lower back, and neck. Regularly performing these exercises will improve posture, reduce pain, and increase the range of motion in the neck and shoulders. It is important that the exercises gradually increase in intensity and are performed alongside maintaining proper posture in daily activities.The comprehensive corrective exercise program is the foundation of a new approach (the comprehensive approach) that seeks innovation by utilizing the strengths and weaknesses of previous approaches. In fact, the comprehensive approach is based on a systems perspective, which is responsible for conveying important information about the overall performance and behavior of the system through the interaction between different parts of a system. In a complex system such as the human movement system, there is interaction between the nervous, muscular, and joint subsystems in producing movement. Therefore, it is essential to consider the interactions between these subsystems when evaluating and correcting musculoskeletal disorders such as upper cross syndrome, as they ultimately provide the performance and overall behaviors of the system.In this study, participants will undergo a regular program of corrective exercises for eight weeks, three times a week, for 45 minutes each session. Each exercise session will begin with warming up the muscles, followed by a series of strengthening and stretching exercises at an appropriate intensity. The exercises will be performed in a static position and will gradually progress from simple to more complex exercises. The intensity of the exercises will be adjusted to ensure they are tolerable for the participants. At the end of each session, cool-down exercises will be performed. All exercise sessions will be conducted under the direct supervision of a corrective exercise specialist. Intervention 3: Intervention Group: Corrective GamesThe number of participants in this group is 15, and the duration of the training is 8 weeks, with 3 sessions each week, and each session lasting 1 hour. Each session will include 10 minutes of warm-up, 45 minutes of the designated games, and 5 minutes of cool-down. For the corrective games, tools such as a medicine ball, disposable spoons, tennis balls, cone-shaped obstacles, etc., will be used. To treat and correct this syndrome, therapeutic games can also be utilized, which not only help strengthen muscles and correct posture but also increase motivation, enjoyment, and patient interaction. Therapeutic games in physiotherapy and rehabilitation are considered an effective and engaging method for treating and rehabilitating injured muscles. These games can be designed in various forms, including balance games, strengthening exercises, flexibility activities, and intelligent games that require thinking. Therapeutic games for upper cross syndrome typically focus on improving the strength of weak muscles (such as the shoulder girdle muscles, trapezius, and rotator cuff) and stretching tight muscles (like the chest and neck muscles). Therapeutic games can play a significant role as an engaging and effective method for correcting upper cross syndrome. These games not only help strengthen and stretch the muscles associated with this syndrome but also enhance motivation and improve interaction during the treatment process. Combining these games with corrective exercises can help improve posture, reduce pain, and enhance movement in individuals with upper cross syndrome. Appropriate movement and exercise programs that align with the structural and psychological characteristics of humans, especially during childhood and adolescence, not only promote physical and mental health but also prepare individuals for a better life in society. In today's society, the importance and value of play during childhood have been thoroughly validated through extensive research. Play impacts children's emotional, cognitive, educational, personality, and social development and has diagnostic and therapeutic value. Play is not an activity devoid of thought or structure; rather, it is an integral part of our lives and an effective means for better functioning in adulthood and cognitive growth. One of the methods currently used to correct postural abnormalities in advanced societies is play. The corrective games program will be implemented over eight weeks, with each session lasting 45 minutes and including a 5-minute cool-down. This program consists of a variety of games, with increasing complexity from the first to the eighth week. In the initial weeks, games such as wooden house, tray lifting, and airplane will be used to strengthen core muscles and balance. As the program progresses, more dynamic games like tug-of-war, broken knee, and tennis ball carrying will be added to enhance strength and coordination. In the final weeks, a combination of previous games along with new ones such as station games, crab walking, and cat and mouse will be implemented to engage all muscle groups and improve motor skills. This play-centered program will not only enhance physical strength but also improve social interactions and increase the motivation of participants. Intervention 4: Control group: This group will not engage in any physical activity and will continue with their daily lives. The number of individuals in this group is 15, for a duration of 8 weeks. They do not require any tools or exercises. No - There is not a plan to make this available Justification or reason for not sharing IPD is It is necessary to review and obtain the required permissions, including from the patients.
