Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

According to literature review elastic band exercises have been proposed as an effective intervention to correct FHP. However, no previous study done to see the effect of elastic band exercises on chest expansion along with correction of FHP. Therefore, this study will show the effectiveness of elastic band exercises on chest expansion in patients with FHP.

Elastic band excercises

Elastic band excercises and stretching is given to shoulder muscles (deep neck flexors, pectoralis major and minor, rhomboids and trapezius)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Elastic band excercise

Intervention Type OTHER

experimenatal group was given elastic band excercises along with stretching (pectoralis major, minor, trapezius, rhomboids and neck flexors) and conventional therapy. Sessions will be given 3 days in a week for a period of 4 weeks. The assessment was done at baseline, after 2 weeks and at the end of 4 weeks.

strengthening with conventional physical therapy

strengthening with conventional physicaltherapy is given to shoulder muscles (deep neck flexors, pectoralis major and minor, rhomboids and trapezius)

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

strengthening with conventional physical therapy

Intervention Type OTHER
