Neck Position Sense and Balance in Students With Rounded Shoulders
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study examines how neck position awareness, core strength, and balance are affected in university students with Upper Crossed Syndrome—a posture problem involving forward head position and rounded shoulders. The research may help identify better treatments for chronic neck pain linked to poor posture.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two types of exercises to improve neck and shoulder posture in people with upper cross syndrome. It aims to find which approach works better for reducing neck pain and improving alignment.
This study tests whether adding a specific type of massage (instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization) to a corrective exercise program improves neck movement, strength, pain, and posture in people with upper crossed syndrome, a common postural problem with forward head and rounded shoulders.
This trial compares two muscle relaxation approaches to reduce neck pain caused by muscle imbalance around the shoulders. It aims to find which method better relieves pain and improves posture.
This study looks at how weightlifters' posture, body awareness (proprioception), core strength, and balance work together. By testing these areas, the researchers hope to understand how to help weightlifters improve performance and avoid injuries.
This study tests whether combining rib mobilization (hands-on therapy to improve rib movement) with posture-correction exercises can reduce neck pain and improve posture in people with upper crossed syndrome (a postural condition causing rounded shoulders and forward head tilt). It may help you understand if this combination therapy works better than standard treatment.
This study compares two types of gentle posture-correction exercises for people with upper cross syndrome—a condition where your shoulders round forward and your neck posture shifts. The trial tests which approach works better to reduce pain and improve how you stand and move.
