IRCT20180627040251N17 IRCT 2026-06-29 Kharazmi University The effect of adding Global postural reeducation to lumbar - cervical motor control training on posture, proprioception, selected muscle strength, and scapular movement patterns in individuals with upper crossed syndrome UCS The effect of adding Global postural reeducation to lumbar - cervical motor control training on posture, proprioception, selected muscle strength, and scapular movement patterns in individuals with upper crossed syndrome 2026-06-27 anticipated 45 Recruiting https://irct.ir/trial/91195 interventional Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Other, Randomization description: This study is a **single-blind randomized controlled clinical trial**. The study employs a **pretest–posttest design** with two intervention groups and one control group. In this trial, the outcome assessor will be blinded to group allocation. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: (1) a **combined lumbar–cervical motor control exercises plus posture retraining group**, (2) a **lumbar–cervical motor control exercises-only group**, and (3) a **control group**. Randomization will be performed using the **Randomizer** software. The randomization sequence will not be disclosed to participants until completion of the baseline assessment. Outcome assessors will remain blinded to group allocation throughout the study. Although participants cannot be blinded to the intervention because of the nature of the treatments, they will not be informed which intervention is considered the primary treatment group, Blinding description: This study is a **single-blind randomized controlled clinical trial**. The study follows a **pretest–posttest design** with two intervention groups and one control group. In this study, the outcome assessor will be blinded to group allocation. N/A Postural kyphosis. Intervention 1: Intervention group: Postural Retraining + Lumbar–Cervical Motor Control Exercises. Intervention 2: Intervention group: Lumbar–Cervical Motor Control Exercises.
