Summary

This study is a randomised control trial and the purpose of this study is to determine the additional effects of surface electromyographic biofeedback on post facilitation stretching and strengthening in lower crossed syndrome.

.

Conditions

  • Lower Cross Syndrome

Interventions

OTHER

Standard Treatment

All participants will receive 4 weeks of intervention with a frequency of 3 times/week i.e. 10minutes of hot pack followed by post facilitation stretching and strengthening protocol. The exercise protocol will be taught to the patient by an experienced physiotherapist and supervised on the subsequent sessions. The protocol will be gradually progressed as per the patient's tolerance.

OTHER

Visual and auditory feedback on SEMG biofeedback unit

Patients will receive SEMG biofeedback assisted post facilitation stretching and strengthening. Patients will receive 50-80%of their maximum voluntary contraction as per the biofeedback and gradually the contraction time will be increased.

OTHER

Electrical muscle stimulation

Electrical muscle stimulation will be provided in addition to visual and auditory feedback by the SEMG biofeedback unit to the weak muscles until the patients achieve the desired level of contractions.
