Weakness of the deep cervical flexors, ventrally, crosses with weakness of the middle and lower trapezius. In UCS, tightness of the upper trapezius and levator scapula on the dorsal side crosses with tightness of the pectoralis major and minor. This pattern of imbalance creates joint dysfunction Background and objectives: Upper crossed syndrome (UCS) is a common musculoskeletal condition that is characterized by tightness and weakness of the muscles of the neck, shoulders, and Background: Upper cross syndrome (UCS) for the purpose of this study is defined as “tightness of the upper trapezius, pectoralis major, and levator scapulae and weakness of the rhomboids, serratus anterior, middle and lower trapezius, and the deep neck flexors, especially the scalene muscles.”1 This syndrome is part of an epidemic within the better understanding of upper crossed syndrome by presenting a complete and concise clinical picture of the pathology and following through to establish an effective treatment Upper Back and shoulder pain Impingement syndrome Thoracic outlet syndrome Carpal Tunnel Syndrome TMJ dysfunction Recurrent “knots” or trigger points Upper Crossed Upper Cross Syndrome Weak and Inhibited Muscles Deep neck flexors Lower neck extensor Middle and lower traps Rhomboids Serratus anterior Deep Neck flexors & In upper cross syndrome (UCS), weaker neck flexors, anterior and middle serratus and lower trapezius along with rhomboids usually develop, and stiffness of the levator , · Results: All the physiotherapeutic treatments including conventional and recent trends showed a beneficial effect on patient with upper crossed syndrome or Describe the associated joint dysfunctions and pain syndromes that develop as a result of the muscle imbalances present in upper and lower crossed syndrome. Identify a treatment plan for patients with upper and lower crossed syndrome In Upper Crossed Syndrome (UCS), tight muscles in the trapezius and levator scapula in the upper back ‘cross’ with tight pectoral muscles of the chest, and weak deep neck flexor muscles in the neck ‘cross’ with weak scapular stabilizers, retractors and depressors in the mid-back Upper-crossed syndrome (UCS) is also referred to as proximal or shoulder girdle crossed syndrome. Identify abnormal muscle firing patterns present in upper and lower crossed syndrome.
