ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND :
Text neck syndrome is a commonly found condition in students as they hang their head downwards for a long period of time while using mobile phones. It most commonly causes neck pain and soreness. In the modern world, with the increasing use of technology, text neck syndrome is becoming more common. Determining an effective treatment for this condition is essential for public health. So, this study investigates the effectiveness of Pilates along with conventional exercise program and conventional exercise program alone in reducing the symptoms of text neck syndrome. AIM OF THE STUDY: The aim of the study is to find the efficacy of pilates in conjunction with conventional exercise program in subjects with text neck syndrome.
MATERIALS AND METHODS : This experimental study was conducted with 30 participants in the age group 18-24,they were selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria.They were divided into two groups, Group A-15 patients underwent conventional exercise alone and Group B-15 patients underwent Pilates along with conventional exercise. An assessment for outcome measures (NPRS, NDI, MMT, and CMET) was done prior to starting of the treatment and after 6 weeks of intervention.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The results found in this study revealed that after a six week treatment program, both groups attained a significant improvement in the strength and endurance of neck muscles along with reduced pain and disability. But statistically greater significant improvement was seen in Group B as compared to Group A.
