“…Students in special education schools, compared to regular students, do not have a heavy academic workload, but their head protraction angles are much larger than those of regular students. The physical fitness of special students, such as muscle flexibility and strength, is relatively poor compared to that of regular children [11] , which may result in weaker development and control of body posture, leading to this outcome. Further assessment of the strength and flexibility of the shoulder and neck muscle groups in special students with UCS can be conducted to determine the specific causes.…”

This study investigated the current status of the development and occurrence of Upper Crossed Syndrome (UCS) among students at a special school in Beijing. We employed static posture assessment, cervical spine range of motion testing, and shoulder and neck functional testing to evaluate the current status of Upper Crossed Syndrome in 40 students aged 7-15 years at a special education school in Beijing. Significant differences were found between the distance of the acromion from the wall for students aged 7-9 years compared to those aged 10-12 and 13-15 years (P < 0.001). There were no significant differences in the test results between students of different genders (P > 0.05). A significant difference in head protraction angles was observed between students with autism and those with multiple disabilities (P < 0.05). Students at the special education school exhibited a more severe head protraction posture than typically developing students. Students in different age groups showed a progressive increase in the prevalence of rounded shoulders and chest retraction annually. Students with multiple disabilities had the most severe head protraction symptoms, followed by those with intellectual disabilities.

Purpose: This study examined the impact of an 8-week corrective dance intervention on thoracic hyperkyphosis, scapular position, breathing, and happiness in girls aged 10–12 years. Methods: Sixty participants were randomly assigned to either an experimental (EX) or control (CO) group. The intervention involved rhythmic and corrective movements conducted 3 times a week. Measurements were taken before and after the intervention for thoracic hyperkyphosis angle, scapular position, lung function, and happiness levels. Results: EX showed greater improvements (P = .001) than CO for the decrement of thoracic hyperkyphosis angle (48.20–42.80°) than in CO (47.66°–46.59°), and scapular position improved more (P = .003) in EX (1.48°–1.20°) than in CO (1.44°–1.42°). Forced vital capacity (P = .001) and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (P = .001) significantly increased in EX (FVC: 2.65–3.40 L; FEV1: 2.32–2.74 L), while they remained stable in CO. Happiness levels significantly improved (P = .001) in EX (42.20–49.79) and slightly decreased in CO (41.80–40.15). Conclusions: The 8-week dance program improved posture, scapular position, breathing, and happiness in girls aged 10–12 years. It enhances physical health, emotional well-being, and social skills in children and adolescents.

Background: In today's world, the upper cross syndrome is growing more common and becoming very prevalent among dental undergraduate practitioners. One of the most important conditions for which dentists seek physiotherapy treatment is neck pain. It is characterized by overactive pectoralis and trapezius muscles. It is frequently linked to poor posture in dental students' daily life, causing them to miss their work.Objectives: The first objective of our study was to find the efficacy of myofascial rollers and post-isometric relaxation technique along with conventional therapy for pain relief and correction of postural deviation in undergraduate dental students. And, the second objective of the study was to compare the effect of myofascial rollers and post-isometric relaxation techniques in upper cross syndrome.Methods: The study was conducted with pre-test and post-test methods. The study consisted of 80 participants who were included based on our inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study sample was randomly assigned into two groups. Each group consisted of a total of 40 participants. Group A was treated using myofascial rollers and hot packs, and Group B was treated using the post-isometric relaxation technique and hot packs. Patients were asked to mark their intensity of pain on the Numerical Pain Rating Scale and an assessment of postural deviations (in mm) was noted through a plumb line in the posture grid. Posture assessment was done in lateral view. The protocol covered four weeks of treatment based on the defined protocol. Finally, the t-square test and Chi-square test were used to compare the difference in the result. Also, the level of significance was kept at <0.05.Result: Statistical analysis was done using descriptive and inferential statistics using student paired, unpaired, and chi-square test. IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 27.0 (Released 2020; IBM Corp., Armonk, New York, United States) was used. The Numerical Pain Rating Scale showed mean deviations of (4.15±1.29) for Group A and (3.30±1.01) for Group B. Plumb line assessment showed mean deviations of (9.09±4.31) for Group A and (6.33±2.36) for Group B. Also, Numerical Pain Rating Scale showed (t=3.26, p=0.002) and Plumb line deviation showed (t=3.57, p=0.001).Conclusion: Through our study, we conclude that statistically no significant differences were found in preintervention and post-intervention, but myofascial rollers gave better results as compared to the postisometric relaxation technique in alleviating pain and correcting postural deviation.
