Effectiveness of the Alexander Technique on quality of life in young men with upper crossed syndrome |
|
| چکیده انگلیسی مقاله |
Objectives:Studies show that upper crossed syndrome causes a decrease in health and quality of life in affected people due to various physiological and psychological complications. Considering the high prevalence of upper crossed syndrome, the aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of the Alexander technique on physical and mental dimensions of quality of life in young men with upper crossed syndrome.
Methods:We assigned 24 male participants (aged between 19-25) into two conditions (experimental and control) using a convenience sampling method. We used the short form of health survey 36-SF 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 during six weeks. We used Analysis of Covariance (ANCOA) and Correlated t-test to analyze the results.
Results:Based on the findings of the study, there was a significant difference between the physical dimension of quality of life 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 quality of life 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 can use the Alexander technique as a psychophysical re-education method to practically improve health and quality of life in individuals with upper crossed syndrome. |
