Summary
This randomized controlled trial investigates the effects of biofeedback-guided training versus conventional therapy on muscle strength and postural alignment in patients with Upper Cross Syndrome. The study includes adults aged 25-45 years meeting diagnostic criteria for UCS, such as weak deep cervical flexors, restricted cervical ROM, forward head posture, increased thoracic kyphosis, and chronic neck pain \>3 months. Participants are divided into two groups: Group A biofeedback training and Group B conventional therapy, receiving 12 sessions over 4 weeks ,3sessions/week. Assessments are conducted at baseline, post-1st session, and weekly intervals using standardized measures.The study aims to compare the efficacy of biofeedback-guided training in improving strength and posture in UCS patients.
