Overview

This study is a quasi experimental study and the purpose of this study is to determine the effects of core strengthening on pelvic tilt, dynamic balance and agilty in lower cross syndrome.

Detailed description

Participants will be recruited into the study using the criteria of lower crossed syndrome which is assessed using te following tests:

Prone hip extension test Trunk flexion strength test Tightness in erector spinae Modified Thomas test

Interventions

  • Other Core Strengthening
    Strengthening protocol will comprise of following three phases: Warm up phase Following exercise would be performed in warm up; Scissor skier, Criss cross crunches, , Hip circles, Bent over twist. Strengthening: Abdominal bracing Bracing with heel slides Bracing with leg lifts Bracing with bridging Quadruped alternate arm and leg lifts with bracing Side support with knees flexed Cool down phase: Following exercise would be performed for cood down: Child's pose, Cat cow stretch, Lower back str
