ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how strengthening the core muscles can affect people with Lower Cross Syndrome, which is a condition that can cause issues with balance, agility, and posture due to muscle imbalances. The researchers want to see if improving core strength can help reduce pelvic tilt and enhance dynamic balance and agility in participants.

To be eligible for this study, participants must be between 19 and 35 years old, and they should not have any serious back problems or other health issues that could affect their participation. Individuals with specific muscle tightness, moderate local back pain, and certain test results related to strength and flexibility may qualify. If you join the study, you can expect to engage in exercises designed to strengthen your core, with the goal of improving your overall balance and movement. This trial is currently recruiting participants, and it's a great opportunity for those looking for ways to manage symptoms related to Lower Cross Syndrome.
