IRCT20200729048249N1 IRCT 2020-09-06 The University of Shahid Beheshti Effectiveness of exercise on upper crossed syndrome Effectiveness of supervised versus work-placed exercises on neck-shoulder pain, workability, alignment and muscle activities among office workers with upper crossed syndrome 2020-12-20 anticipated 45 Complete https://irct.ir/trial/49992 interventional Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Prevention, Randomization description: The website https://www.sealedenvelope.com will be applied to randomize and generate a random block sequence, and sealed opaque envelopes will be used to conceal random allocation. Based on the sample size, a number of envelopes with aluminum wrappers are used in order to obscure the contents of the envelopes. Each of the random sequences is written on a card, and the cards are placed in the envelopes respectively. In order to maintain a random sequence, the envelopes are numbered on the outer surface as well. The envelopes are glued and placed inside a box, respectively. The participants open one of the envelopes, then the assigned group of that participant is revealed. N/A Upper Crossed Syndrome. Intervention 1: Intervention group 1( work-placed exercises): An eight-week exercise program including corrective exercises based on alignment and effective muscle activation on upper crossed syndrome will be taken three days per week about 50 minutes each session which will be started by five to seven minutes of warm-up and cool-down. The exercises will be initiated by three repetitions holding for 10 seconds, and progress to six repetitions, holding for 25 seconds based on the overload principles and the individual capabilities. The present study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of exercises in the workplace that will be performed without the direct supervision of the researcher as the first intervention group. Intervention 2: Intervention group2( supervised exercises): An eight-week exercise program including corrective exercises based on alignment and effective muscle activation on upper crossed syndrome will be taken three days per week about 50 minutes each session which will be started by five to seven minutes of warm-up and cool-down. The exercises will be initiated by three repetitions holding for 10 seconds, and progress to six repetitions, holding for 25 seconds based on the overload principles and the individual capabilities. The present study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of supervised exercises as the second intervention group that will be performed under direct supervision. Intervention 3: Control group: receive no intervention. Undecided - It is not yet known if there will be a plan to make this available Justification or reason for indecision in sharing IPD is The schedule has not yet been determined.
