To compare the effects of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization and Myofascial gun in Upper Cross Syndrome
Full description
Upper Cross Syndrome is a very common postural abnormality developed due to prolong slouched postures in desk jobs and also in students. Janda explained it that it is simultaneous presence of Forward Head Posture and protracted shoulders.
This includes weakness of lower and middle trapezius, deep neck flexors, rhomboids and serratus anterior. It also includes tightness of upper trapezius, Sternocleidomastoid, Pectoralis major and minor. The simultaneous occurrence of FHP and rounded shoulder is nothing but upper crossed syndrome.
Upper Trapezius is the primary muscle that is involved in Upper Cross Syndrome. Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization is applied over the tight muscles to improve muscle length to its normal length. It is applied from origin to insertion with some pressure to apply compression on the muscle.
Myofascial gun is a recent technology that can be applied by the clinician and also by the affected person for self mobilization. They provide varying amount of frequencies through various shaped heads according to the area they are used,
