Comparative Effects of Eldoa With and Without Muscle Energy Technique on Pain, Range of Motion and Functional Disability in Patient With Quadratus Lumborum Syndrome

What this Trial Is About

This research aims to compare the effects of Pilates exercises with and without whole body vibration on posture, pain, and disability in young adults with upper cross syndrome. The study focuses on addressing posture issues like rounded shoulder posture, which is common due to prolonged sitting and technology use. Researchers will evaluate different exercise programs to determine if adding whole body vibration to Pilates exercises influences pain, posture, and disability outcomes in this population. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: one group will receive a Pilates exercise program combined with whole body vibration, and the other group will receive a traditional physical therapy program including stretching, strengthening, and postural correction exercises. Both groups will have sessions twice a week for four consecutive weeks. Before exercise sessions, hot packs will be applied for 15 to 20 minutes. The Pilates with whole body vibration group and the traditional therapy group will both complete sessions lasting about 55 minutes to one hour. During the study, participants will be assessed at baseline and after four weeks using measures such as the Numeric Pain Rating Scale, Universal Goniometer for range of motion, and the Modified Oswestry Disability Index for functional disability. Data will be analyzed to compare changes within and between groups. The trial includes detailed evaluations of posture, pain, and function to understand the benefits of the interventions. Participants will be monitored throughout the study period of six weeks.
