“…Thoracic-four (T4) syndrome has been coupled with back pain along with difficulty in apt functioning and generalized weakness, and other upper body symptoms. Also, T4 syndrome is known to induce chest pain and pseudo angina [6]. Physical therapists have worked in various industrial fields for work movement analysis and educational programs to prevent work-related musculoskeletal disorders as a result of this legislation.…”

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.

Upper crossed syndrome (UCS) is characterised by distortion or imbalances of various muscles that put tension on the nearby tendons, bones, and joints leads to muscle weakness, tiredness, sore shoulder blades, headache and limitation of movements. The rationale of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of various exercises (McKenzie and TheraBand exercises) on posture, pain and strength in patients suffering with upper crossed syndrome. The participants were randomly allocated into two groups: Group 1 (McKenzie group, n=15) and Group 2 (exercise group, n=15). Outcome measures were pain and disability using SPADI questionnaire and muscle strength using manual muscle testing. Group I received McKenzie exercises for 3 weeks, 5 sessions per week, whereas Group II received TheraBand exercises for 3 weeks, 5 sessions per week. Data analysis was done by using paired t-test for within group comparison and unrelated t-test to evaluate the between group differences in each outcome variable. The results indicated a statistically significant improvement in pre-/post values of pain & disability in the McKenzie group (t=7.60 and P=0.0001), and in the exercise group (t=8.25 and P=0.0001). Results also suggested a statistically significant improvement in the strength of serratus anterior (t=4.52 and P=0.0001), cervical flexors (t=4.12 and P=0.001), and rhomboids (t=4.14 and P=0.001) in the McKenzie group and strength of serratus anterior (t=5.17 and P=0.0001), cervical flexors (t=4.18 and P=0.001), rhomboids (t=4.18 and P=0.001) in the exercise group. Results indicated that the exercise group showed better improvement as compared to McKenzie group in terms of pain and disability. Results also stated that both groups were equally effective in improving muscle strength.
