Comparing the Effects of Ten Weeks of Regular Corrective Exercise and Corrective Exercise with Whole Body Vibration Apparatus on Upper Cross Syndrome

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of regular corrective exercise and corrective exercise with whole-body vibration on upper cross syndrome. Subjects were 45 students who were randomly divided into three equal groups: corrective exercise with vibration, regular corrective exercise, and control. Kyphosis (flexible ruler), forward head and round shoulders (side photography) were measured before and after 10-week training. Repeated measure test results revealed significant within-group and between-groups differences in upper cross syndrome between pre-training and post-training values. Regular corrective exercise had a significant effect on upper cross syndrome.
