Abstract

Background: lower cross syndrome results from muscle strength imbalance in the lower segment. It ischaracterized by specific pattern of muscle weakness and tightness that cross between the dorsal and ventralsides of the body. In lower-crossed syndrome, the patient typically has anterior pelvic turn, elevated lumbarlordosis (swayback), and weak abdominal muscles. Inaction may also have a detrimental effect on themechanics of the body, such as immobilization, disuse or excessive postural discomfort, such as sitting atthe workstation for long periods of time and poor posture .It also involves tightness of the iliopsoas, rectusfemoris, fascia lata tensor, adductor group, gastrocnemius, and soleus. Pressure biofeedback device is usedfor the purpose of measuring and treating the transverse abdominis muscle. This study is needed becauseover time due to prolonged daily activities and lack of regular exercises in young people, this leads to muscleimbalance which leads to low back pain in this population. The goal of the study is to screen for lower crosssyndrome in asymptomatic individual.Aim and objective: To screen for lower cross syndrome in asymptomatic individual. Materials andMethods: Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 300 individuals will be included in the study andthe respective evaluation procedure for lower cross syndrome will be carried out.Result: The expected results would include the data about whether lower cross syndrome would be detectedin the asymptomatic individuals. Data will be analyzed using paired T-test.Conclusion: based on the previous data of test and assessment we assume it will be beneficial in relievingthe symptoms of lower cross syndrome.
