Effect of Spinal Mobility Exercises on Functional Mobility Using AI Powered Software on Lumbothorax of Young Adults with Sway Back Posture

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Sway-Back Posture (SBP) is the most common deviation or faulty posture of sagittal alignment, characterized by anterior translation of the pelvis and hip joints, beyond the center of gravity line, a flatted curve in the lumbar region and overextended hip and knee joints. It can cause a variety of symptoms and may be caused by several factors including poor posture, muscle imbalance, congenital conditions, and obesity and so on.  The goal of the study is to ascertain the efficacy of spinal mobility exercises and bal asana in subjects with sway back posture. METHODS: Sixty subjects aged from 18 to 25 of both genders with deviation of at least the pelvis tipped forward for 10 degree or took part in the study that was conducted. The subjects were randomly segregated into two groups; Spinal mobility exercise group were given spinal mobility exercise whereas the control group were given Bal asana, the intervention period was of 8 weeks. The postural analysis of the subjects was evaluated pre and post-training using APECS (AI Posture Evaluation and Correction System). RESULT: Spinal mobilization along with lumbar spine mobility exercise was found to be effective compared to Bal asana in improving posture and performance of individuals with sway back posture. CONCLUSION: Spinal mobility group had better functional movement and muscular balance and seen to have reduced degree of anterior pelvic tilt compared to Bal Asana group. It is concluded that Spinal mobility group provides more functional movement and is seen as the effective treatment in sway back posture.
