“…In the upper crossed syndrome, which affects the neck and shoulder girdle, the posterior-superior muscles (levator scapula muscle and the upper part of the trapezius) and anterior chest (pectoralis major and minor), which are among the muscles of the tonic system, become tense. Meanwhile, the parallelogram muscles, which consist of the middle and lower trapezius, serratus anterior, and deep neck flexors, primarily fall under the phasic muscle system and tend to weaken [10]. This syndrome leads to widespread changes, such as head forward, increased cervical lordosis, dorsal kyphosis, rounded shoulders, shoulder abduction and winging, and reduced stability of the glenohumeral joint in the upper quarter of the body [9].…”

The incidence of the upper cross syndrome is common in people with depressive disorders due to being in constant and repetitive positions. Due to diseases in the upper quadrant of the body in this syndrome, the proper function of sensory receptors in the ligaments is impaired. This study aimed to investigate the effect of a selected corrective exercise program course on the function and proprioception of the cervical area in people with depression and upper crossed syndrome.Methods: Thirty people with depressive disorder were purposefully selected and divided into two groups: Experimental and control. The Beck depression questionnaire was used to measure depression. The upper extremity functions and joint position error were measured by a Y-balance device and a cervical range of motion device. The experimental group received the selected corrective exercise program. Results:The selected corrective exercise program had a significant effect on the variables of upper extremity functions and proprioception in the cervical area. Discussion:The corrective exercises of the present study can be recommended to experts as an effective method or treatment to improve posture, function, and cervical proprioception in people with depression who have the upper crossed syndrome.

“…In contrast, pathological changes may manifest with or without pain and can include sudden joint dysfunction that disrupts normal movement patterns. These changes might be due to biomechanical stress, inflammation affecting the neuromuscular system, or structural lesions (7). The diagnosis of UCS heavily relies on observed signs and symptoms, such as forward head posture, protracted shoulders, hunched upper thoracic region, scapular winging, excessive neck protraction, and reduced range of motion in the neck, shoulders, and thoracic spine (8)(9)(10).…”

Background: Upper cross syndrome involves an imbalance between the muscles of the anterior and upper trunk and the posterior skeletal muscles, leading to postural and functional issues. Muscle Energy Techniques (METs) and stretching exercises are common interventions, but their comparative effectiveness remains unclear.Objective: The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of METs and stretching in treating pain and improving functional status in patients with upper cross syndrome.Methods: This randomized clinical trial was conducted at the Physical Therapy Department of Mayo Hospital, Lahore, over six months. Sixty-two patients with upper cross syndrome were randomly assigned to two groups, each consisting of 31 participants. Group 1 received METs and conventional therapy, while Group 2 received static stretching and conventional therapy. The primary outcome measures were pain intensity, measured by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and functional status, assessed using the Neck Disability Index (NDI). The intervention period lasted four weeks, and statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 25.Results: In Group 1, the pre-treatment VAS score was 7.41 (± 1.08), decreasing to 3.41 (± 1.11) post-treatment, while in Group 2, the VAS score dropped from 7.16 (± 1.50) to 4.87 (± 1.56). The pre-treatment NDI score in Group 1 was 40.19 (± 6.15), which improved to 32.51 (± 6.16) post-treatment. In Group 2, the NDI score improved from 40.06 (± 5.88) to 35.74 (± 5.82). Both groups demonstrated significant improvement in pain and functional status, with METs showing greater effectiveness (p < 0.05).Conclusion: Muscle Energy Techniques were more effective in reducing pain and improving functional status in patients with upper cross syndrome compared to stretching exercises.

“…Upper Cross Syndrome (UCS) is described as a predictive pattern of alternative tightness and weakness of Upper Trapezius, Pectoralis Major, Levator Scapulae, Rhomboids, Serratus Anterior and Deep Flexors of the neck, particularly Scalene muscles caused due to poor working habits, inappropriate body ergonomics, or low self-esteem [1,2,3] . Upper Cross Syndrome is a characterized by muscular imbalance of skeletal muscles activation and inhibition rather than just single muscle involvement.…”

Background: - Upper cross syndrome is becoming more prevalent in today’s population. Upper crossed syndrome refers to overactive and underactive muscles group in the neck and shoulder girdle. Our aim in this study is to check the tightness and weakness of neck and scapular muscles. Method: - 140 adults with age group between 17-23 years were randomly selected for the study. All the students were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Tightness for neck extensors & pectoralis major and minor were assessed with measure tape. Strength for neck flexors & scapular retractors were measured with hand held dynamometer. Analysis: - Data was analysed using SPSS version 20. Mean and SD was analysed. Percentile method was used to find out the prevalence. Results: - Tightness of pectoralis minor and neck extensors was 9.30(1.92)cms and -2.42(2.70)cms respectively. Weakness of neck flexors and scapular retractors was 6.57(3.14) Kg and 7.11(2.70) Kg respectively. Prevalence of tightness in neck extensors was 65% Considering diagonal pattern (Neck extensors and pectoralis minor tight or Neck flexors and scapular retractors weak) prevalence was 2.8%. Considering parallel pattern (Neck flexors are weak and neck extensors are tight or Pectoralis minor is tight and scapular retractors are weak) prevalence was 2.8%. Conclusion: - Upper cross syndrome is found to be prevalent in college going students. Key words: Upper cross syndrome; Hand held dynamometer, Muscular Tightness, Muscular weakness.
