IRCT20181228042157N1 IRCT 2023-09-02 Central Province Electricity Distribution Company The Effects of an eight weeks selective corrective exercises program on the worker's productivity with the upper crossed syndrome – a randomized controlled trial UCS The Effects of an eight weeks selective corrective exercises program on the worker's productivity with the upper crossed syndrome – a randomized controlled trial 2019-07-18 anticipated 50 Complete https://irct.ir/trial/36393 interventional Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Supportive, Randomization description: To ensure the unbiased allocation of participants, the randomization process was done by lottery. Participants who met the inclusion criteria were placed in two intervention groups or control groups. Allocation concealment was implemented using sequentially numbered, opaque, and sealed envelopes. Each envelope contained a sheet showing the group assignment. Before the study, all envelopes were prepared and sealed by an independent researcher who was not involved in participant recruitment or data collection. After obtaining informed consent, participants were enrolled in the study and envelopes were opened sequentially to determine group assignment. Participants were then informed about their assigned group. The procedure was conducted by a researcher who was not involved in the recruitment or assessment of participants, Blinding description: The outcome assessor was trained to conduct assessments in a standardized manner. Outcome measures were used objectively to reduce subjectivity and bias, which included a standard questionnaire, objective measurement of kyphosis, round shoulder, and forward overturning. The outcome assessor was unaware of which participants belonged to the intervention or control group. The evaluator was asked not to talk to the participants more than the explanations needed to perform the tests and they were not allowed to ask the subjects questions about the study. The analyzer was not aware of the participants' group assignments, and the information of the groups was provided to the analyzer with code 1 and 2 for the groups and a specific code for each participant. N/A upper crossed syndrome. Intervention 1: Intervention group: In the experimental group, participants received a selective corrective exercise program designed to address musculoskeletal abnormalities associated with upper crossed syndrome (UCS). The training program consisted of stretching, strengthening, and stabilization exercises. The exercises were based on established protocols and recommendations for correcting UCS and were tailored to target specific muscle groups involved in the syndrome, such as the forward head (FH), round shoulder (RS), and kyphosis (KY).The intervention program was conducted for a duration of eight weeks, with three sessions per week. Each training session lasted approximately 50 minutes. The exercises were performed under the guidance of trained instructors and were supervised by the research team. Standard warm-up and cool-down routines were implemented at the beginning and end of each session, respectively. The program progression involved different phases. The initial phase, lasting two weeks, focused on gradually increasing the duration of exercise holds, ranging from seven sets of 10 seconds hold to 10 sets of 15 seconds hold. In the improvement phase, lasting several weeks, the activities were performed with increasing repetitions, starting from five sets of ten repetitions and progressing to six sets of 15 repetitions. Finally, the maintenance phase, which spanned the last two weeks of the program, with the aim of maintaining the achieved progress, the exercises were performed at a constant level. Intervention 2: Control group: The control group did not receive any specific corrective exercise program. Participants in this group were instructed to continue with their usual daily activities and work routines without any interventions.
