In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effects of Maitland mobilization combined with Kendall exercises versus Kendall exercises alone on pain and postural alignment in adults with Upper Cross Syndrome (UCS). Upper Cross Syndrome is characterized by muscle imbalance leading to forward head posture, rounded shoulders, and increased thoracic kyphosis. The study will evaluate pain intensity, craniovertebral angle, thoracic kyphosis, and rounded shoulder posture
