Treatment strategies for lower cross syndrome
A systematic review
Keywords:
back pain, lower cross syndrome, treatment strategiesAbstract
Background: Lower cross syndrome is characterized by tightness of iliopsoas, rectus femoris and erector spinae along with weakness of gluteal and abdominal muscle. Exercises help to restore length of tight muscles and strengthening of weak muscles. Therefore, objective of this study is to conduct a systematic review of studies to date in order to determine the effects of implementing different exercise programs on the treatment of lower crossed syndrome. Method: A systematic online search of the literatures in English language was undertaken for articles published from 2010 to 2021. Articles were searched in Google Scholar, Pubmed, Science direct and Research Gate with key words “Back pain, Lower cross syndrome and Treatment strategies”. Methodological quality assessment was done on the basis of Level of evidence. Result: Very less number of studies is available on effectiveness of treatment strategies in subjects having Lower cross syndrome and sample size in studies are also small but in most of studies exercise program is found to be effective. Conclusion: Low quality of evidence is there on effectiveness of treatment strategies in subjects having Lower cross syndrome. Based on analysis, recommended exercise programs include, exercise for strengthening weak musculature or for stretching tight muscles.
