Effectiveness of the Alexander Technique on Quality of Life in Young Men With Upper Crossed Syndrome
چکیده: (2149 مشاهده)
Purpose: Studies show that upper-crossed syndrome causes a decrease in health and quality of life (QoL) in affected people due to various physiological and psychological complications. Considering the high prevalence of upper crossed syndrome, this study investigates the effectiveness of the Alexander technique on physical and mental dimensions of QoL in young men with upper crossed syndrome.
Methods: We assigned 24 male participants (aged between 19-25 years) into two groups (experimental and control) using a convenience sampling method. We used the short form of health survey-36 to evaluate the physical and mental aspects of their health. After measuring the desired variables of all participants in the pre-test stage, the participants of the experimental condition completed 12 training sessions of the Alexander technique over six weeks. We used analysis of covariance and correlated t-test to analyze the results.
Results: There was a significant difference between the physical dimension of QoL in the experimental condition after applying the Alexander technique intervention compared to the control condition (P<0.001). Similarly, there was a significant difference between the mental dimension of QoL in the experimental condition compared to the control condition (P<0.001).
Conclusion: Considering the significant effect of the Alexander technique as an educational intervention on participants’ physical and mental health in the current study, we suggest that health and rehabilitation experts use the Alexander technique as a psychophysical re-education method to practically improve health and QoL in individuals with upper-crossed syndrome.
