Abstract:
Proper posture is defined as a balanced musculoskeletal state in which no extra stresses put on muscles or soft tissues. Students are usually unaware of proper posture and appropriate ways to maintain it. Prolong working on laptops, desktops pain leads to discomfort affecting their work and activities of daily living. In forward shoulder posture (FSP), shoulder impingement can occur and lung function can be affected. The aim of this study is to find out the effects of therapeutic exercises combined with breathing exercises on pectoral muscles length and chest expansion among students with rounded shoulder.
