“…1,26 Therefore, in the presence of tight antagonistic muscles; restoring normal muscle length must first be addressed before attempting to strengthen a weakened muscle. 19 Another observation of this was, teachers, parents and students were not aware about their conditions or symptoms of lower crossed syndrome. They were not aware about the consequences of lower crossed syndrome in future and role of physiotherapy in treating this condition.…”

“…A previous study was done, in which the authors concluded that stretching of tight muscles and strengthening of weak muscles are beneficial in normalizing the strength of abdominals and gluteals and increasing flexibility of hip flexors and Thoracolumbar extensors. 19 Janda's approach hypothesized that restoring muscle length of a tight muscle spontaneously facilitate a weak antagonist. The normalization of muscle length should be followed by specific strengthening, movement re-education and endurance training.…”

“…18 The Janda's approach is effective in normalising the lordosis curvature, increasing strength of weak abdominals and weak gluteals and increasing the length of tightened hip flexors and back extensors. 19 Physiotherapy treatment with Janda's approach might help to prevent secondary changes and prevent future consequences and enhances optimal muscle function and to improve postural alignment of the lower back. And also can help children, teachers and their parents by making them aware about lower crossed syndrome and its future consequences.…”

Objective:The main objective of the study was to find out the effect of stretching and strengthening exercises (Janda's Approach) in School going children with lower crossed syndrome.Method: Students between the ages 11 to 15 years were screened for lower crossed syndrome and 41 students were having lower crossed syndrome and are selected for the study. The treatment program was conducted for 2 weeks, scheduled 5 sessions per week. The outcome measures were manual muscle testing of the abdominal muscles and gluteal muscles and Thomas test which were recorded before and after treatment sessions.Results: There was increase in strengths of abdominal muscles and gluteal muscles after 4 weeks treatment (p value < 0.0001) which was statistically significant and there was reduction in tightness of hip flexor muscles (p value < 0.0001) which was statistically significant. Conclusion:On the basis of results of our study we concluded that stretching and strengthening exercises (Janda's Approach) are effective in treating lower crossed syndrome in school going children.

“…If lower crossed syndrome is not treated, it can lead to obesity and low back pain in future. (4) Another potential cause is excess training of certain parts of the body while undertraining others. For example, if an individual strengthens their hip flexors and back without concentrating on their glutes and abdominals, this could lead to an imbalance.…”

Background: Lower cross syndrome is characterized by tightness of iliopsoas, rectus femoris and erector spinae along with weakness of gluteal and abdominal muscle. Exercises help to restore length of tight muscles and strengthening of weak muscles. Therefore, objective of this study is to conduct a systematic review of studies to date in order to determine the effects of implementing different exercise programs on the treatment of lower crossed syndrome. Method: A systematic online search of the literatures in English language was undertaken for articles published from 2010 to 2021. Articles were searched in Google Scholar, Pubmed, Science direct and Research Gate with key words “Back pain, Lower cross syndrome and Treatment strategies”. Methodological quality assessment was done on the basis of Level of evidence. Result: Very less number of studies is available on effectiveness of treatment strategies in subjects having Lower cross syndrome and sample size in studies are also small but in most of studies exercise program is found to be effective. Conclusion: Low quality of evidence is there on effectiveness of treatment strategies in subjects having Lower cross syndrome. Based on analysis, recommended exercise programs include, exercise for strengthening weak musculature or for stretching tight muscles.

“…On their phylogenetic development but functionally, muscles can be classi ied as tonic lexors and phasic or extensors. It was noted that the tonic system muscles were more prone to tightness or shortness and the phasic system muscles would usually undergo weakness or inhibition and that this response depended on the neurological response of nociception in the muscular system (Kage and Putti, 2015). Janda's identi ied two subtypes of LCS, A and B patients with LCS type A use more hip lexion and extension movement for mobility, their standing posture demonstrates an anterior pelvic tilt with slight hip and knee lexion.…”

The objective of this study is to determine the Efficacy of Janda’s Approach Versus Bruegger’s Exercise in Pelvic Cross Syndrome and the quality of its impact in Life. Pelvic Cross Syndrome is characterized by tightness of thoracolumbar extensor on the dorsal side crosses with tightness of the Illiopsoas and Rectus femories. Weakness of the deep abdominal muscle ventrally crossed with weakness of the Gluteus maximus and Medius. This was an experimental study design with pre-post type conducted in outpatient physiotherapy department of ACS Medical college and hospital and took nearly 3 months to complete the study (January 2018-April 2018). 30 samples were selected from 45 volunteers based on the inclusion criteria. Group A received the Janda’s approach, Group B received the Bruegger’s exercise. Pre and post test outcome measures were taken with SF-12 scale,Visual analog scale, Goniometer.Post interventionally, both the groups showed decrease in pain and increase range of motion. However on comparing the results, Group A showed higher mean value and was more effective than Group B. The study concluded that the Group A Janda’s approach is an effective approach in reducing the pain and improved the range of motion in Pelvic Cross Syndrome.
