“…Special students, due to various disabilities or diseases, typically have a higher incidence rate in males than in females. In terms of physical fitness, males have greater absolute strength, explosive power, and endurance than females, while females have better flexibility [16] . In terms of body posture, this study conducted an independent sample T-test on the measurement results of males and females, and no significant differences were found.…”

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.

“…The accurate standing posture, when viewed from the lateral side, in a plumb line normally passing through the ear, shoulder region, greater trochanter, and slightly anterior to the lateral malleoli. Postural evaluation of patients with UCS will express a forward head and neck posture with upper cervical lordosis, protracted and elevated shoulders, thoracic hyperkyphosis, and scapular winging [9]. Hypertonicity may precipitate in upper trapezius, levator scapulae, pectoralis major, and Sternocleidomastoid [2].…”

Background: How does it affect the quality of life of the patient? Upper Crossed Syndrome (UCS) is also discussed as proximal or shoulder crossed syndrome. According to Vladimir Janda, UCS is characterized by the tightness of the levator scapulae muscle, upper trapezius muscle, on dorsal sides crosses with tightness of pectoralis major muscle and minor muscle. Weakness of the deep cervical flexors ventrally crosses along with weakness of the middle and the lower trapezius. The weakness and tightness lead to postural imbalance. In addition to this, it creates postural patterning of rounded shoulder forward head posture, loss of cervical lordosis, and increased kyphosis. These can lead to postural adjustment in the upper quarter of the body. Materials and Methods: Out of 17 articles screened 8 studies are included in this review according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The inclusion criteria are forward head posture, articles from the year 2011 to 2021, patient age between 20-50 years, article published in English languages, articles available in full text, and RCT’S. The exclusion criteria are, articles published before 2011, age less than 20 years and more than 50 years old, articles published other than English language, and articles not available with full text. Relevant studies were retrieved through Cochrane, PubMed, CINHAL, and Embase databases from the year 2011 to 2021. Results: All the physiotherapeutic treatments including conventional and recent trends showed a beneficial effect on patient with upper crossed syndrome or postural abnormalities. Conclusion: All physiotherapy interventions like strengthening and stretching, resistance exercises, postural correction exercises, and ROM exercises has a positive effect on the prevention and treatment of upper crossed syndrome. Also, recent trends like dry needling, yoga therapy, myofascial trigger release, eccentric muscle energy technique, Kinesio taping, and IFT and EMG activity has also shown positive result in UCS.

“… 6 Shoulder elevation increases as the load increases 7 and the physical ability decreases. 8 Incorrect posture during studying or in everyday situations, 9 indiscriminate use of smartphones, 10 , 11 stress and anxiety caused by mentally demanding work, 12 and a lack of self-esteem 13 have been observed to generate problems such as FHP and FSP. These problems are aggravated in the presence of overweight or obesity.…”
